Modeling animal movement to manage landscapes

Creator:: Larson-Praplan, Stephanie
Abstract:: Managing rangelands with livestock grazing is a tool that can be applied to obtain vegetation management objectives. Animals utilize available resources, which vary in quantity and quality, across the landscape. Their movements are adjusted to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of resource distribution. Controlling livestock distribution is fundamental to economically...

An investigation of the alarm response in anuran amphibian larvae

Creator:: Hews, Diana K.
Abstract:: The results of my research suggest that tadpoles of the Western toad (Bufo boreas) and the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) display an alarm response to chemicals from injured conspecific tadpoles. Furthermore, results suggest that the Bufo boreas alarm response can be elicited by a natural predator when it feeds on...

An investigation of the effects of nutritional status on the action of insulin in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:: Ablett, Richard F.
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted to evaluate the relationship between insulin and nutritional parameters in rainbow trout. In the first study effects on growth parameters and tissue composition of rainbow trout were investigated following injection of bovine insulin at two dose levels every 48 hr for 56 days. In addition, [¹⁴C]-leucine...

The effect of rubberized flooring on Asian elephant behavior in captivity

Creator:: Meller, Camie L.
Abstract:: An experiment was designed to determine the effects of a poured rubber flooring substrate on the behavior of captive Asian elephants. Additionally, room utilization was evaluated in a series of seven rooms used for indoor housing. These seven rooms were divided into two observation areas, the Front observation area which...

Effect of prepartum anionic supplementation on periparturient feed intake and behavior, health and milk production

Creator:: DeGroot, Michael Alan
Abstract:: Our objectives were to determine if dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) and source of anions influence periparturient feed intake and milk production, and to characterize feeding behavior of dairy cattle during the transition period. Diets differed in DCAD (cationic or anionic) and anionic supplement (BioChlor®, Fermenten®, or anionic salts), and were...

Factors affecting prolactin secretion in the African elephant

Creator:: Bechert, Ursula S.
Abstract:: Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone that is involved in a number of diverse physiologic roles, particularly with respect to reproduction, including: influencing sexual and parental behaviors, onset of puberty, regulation of seasonal reproduction, follicular maturation, ovulation, luteinization and corpus luteum (CL) function, steroidogenesis, mammary gland development and lactation, testicular...

Applications of GnRH immunization in domestic dogs

Creator:: Donovan, Caitlin Elizabeth
Abstract:: Reproductive function in the dog is controlled by feedback mechanisms that involve the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland, and the gonads. Surgical gonad removal, a common procedure performed in dogs for the purposes of sterilization, disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and results in permanently elevated concentrations of gonadotropins. Manipulation of...

Factors influencing diet composition of beef cattle grazing mixed conifer mountain riparian areas

Creator:: Darambazar, Enkhjargal
Abstract:: Two trials were conducted to evaluate changes in the quantity, quality, and moisture of available forage in the pasture, and shrub utilization by cattle during a 30-d late summer grazing period (Trial 1) and the effect of cow age (experience) on grazing distribution and diet composition (Trial 2) in mountain...

Effect of nutrition on reproductive performance of young female mink

Creator:: Polonen, Ilpo Juhani
Abstract:: Two distinct experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 was conducted to investigate the effects of nutritional conditioning and flushing as a means of improving reproductive performance of female mink. In Exp. 2, vegetable oil and corn syrup were fed during lactation to ascertain whether this nutritional regimen would improve growth of...
