Daily and alternate day supplementation of urea of biuret to ruminants consuming low-quality forage

Creator:: Currier, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Data is limited evaluating infrequent supplementation of urea or biuret to ruminants consuming low-quality forage (<6% crude protein). Therefore, a series of experiments were designed to compare the effects of daily (D) and alternate day (2D) supplementation of two non-protein nitrogen (NPN) sources (urea or biuret) to ruminants consuming low-quality...

Locally grown alternative feed ingredients in turkey diets

Creator:: Sulaiman, Kurdman Mohammed Ali
Abstract:: In recent years, small poultry producers have been interested in finding an alternative for corn and soybean for a variety of reasons. Health concerns related to either naturally occurring isoflavones (phytoestrogens) or their genetically modified organism (GMO) status are the primary considerations behind this trend. Secondly, the recent high prices...

Effects of alfalfa on uterine growth of ovariectomized prepubertal ewe lambs

Creator:: Sexson, Clinton
Abstract:: Alfalfa accumulates phytoestrogens and when ingested binds the estrogen receptor and induces morphological changes similar to endogenous estrogens. The objective of this study is to evaluate morphological changes in uteri, vulva, and teats of ovariectomized prepubertal ewe lambs. Eighteen prepubertal ewe lambs were ovariectomized in November 2000 and fed nonestrogenic...

Lipid Metabolism and the Broiler Chicken : Effect of Dietary n-3 Fatty Acids

Creator:: Head, Brian A.
Abstract:: In broiler chickens, hepatic lipid metabolism plays a significant role in whole body and muscle fatty acid (FA) incorporation. Flax seed is a rich source of α-linolenic acid and can be used to increase n-3 FA in poultry meat. Previous studies have shown that flax seed in combination with carbohydrase...

Enhanced production of Pacific dulse (Palmaria mollis) for co-culture with abalone in a land-based system

Creator:: Demetropoulos, Carl Lee
Abstract:: Palmaria mollis (Pacific dulse) is increasingly being used in land-based marine aquaculture. This work elucidates nutrient, inorganic carbon, light, salinity, and temperature requirements of P. mollis as food for abalone species. Nutrient additions every 5 to 7 days resulted in no significant difference in P. mollis growth compared with daily...

Evaluation of wet brewers' grain ensiled with low quality forages

Creator:: Kennedy, Matthew A. (Matthew August)
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of wet brewers' grain (WBG) alone and with straw so it can be used as part of the sole ration for ruminants. In Exp. 1, WBG was ensued alone and was mixed with one of two straws, wheat or tall fescue grass...

Enzyme Supplementation of Broiler Chicken Diets Containing Whole Flax Seed as a Means to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Human Diets

Creator:: Apperson, K. Denise
Abstract:: Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...

Legume grains (Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum) of the Pacific Northwest as an alternative broiler feedstuff

Creator:: Antoine, Sarah-Cate
Abstract:: Increasing commodity and fuel prices can be a deterrent to growing broilers in the Pacific Northwest. One of the most common protein components of the broiler ration is soybean meal derived from soybeans grown in the Midwestern United States. In an effort to reduce the reliance on this product, alternative...

Evaluation of perennial ryegrass straw as a forage source for ruminants

Creator:: Fisher, Michael J.
Abstract:: We conducted two experiments evaluating perennial ryegrass straw as a forage source for ruminants. Experiment 1 evaluated digestion and physiological variables in steers offered perennial ryegrass straw containing increasing levels of lolitrem B. Sixteen ruminally cannulated Angus X Hereford steers (231 ± 2 kg BW) were blocked by weight and...

The effects of differing hazelnut concentrations in hog finishing rations with respect to pork shelf-life and fatty acid composition

Creator:: Parker, Nathan B.
Abstract:: Commercial hog diets in the United States commonly contain lipid sources high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, most notably linoleic acid (18:2). This may result in greater deposits of linoleic acid in pork adipose tissue, contributing to an increased potential for lipid oxidation, high n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio and increased fat...
