  • Comparison of Canine Spermatozoa Motility, Morphology, and RNA Integrity Using Three Different Cell Purification Solutions

    Creator:
    Hegedus, Rachel M.
    Abstract:
    Transcriptome gene expression studies of sperm RNA have been utilized in a variety of different species to investigate causes of male infertility. Previous research investigators have optimized cell separation and RNA isolation techniques for each species of interest. To date, no study has been completed for dogs. The objective of...

  • Lamb growth and pasture production in agrivoltaic production system

    Creator:
    Andrew, Alyssa C.
    Abstract:
    Grasslands and croplands located in temperate agro-ecologies are ranked to be the best places to install solar panels for maximum energy production. Therefore, agrivoltaic systems (agricultural production under solar panels) are designed to mutually benefit solar energy and agricultural production in the same location for dual-use of land. However, both...

  • Mechanical Properties of Hemp Fiber Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composite

    Creator:
    Skuratowicz, Berkeley
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the mechanical properties of hemp fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) was used to compare the performance of three different weight percentages of hemp fiber reinforced PLA against PLA and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It was found that as the weight percentage of...

  • Physiological effects of forb and legume pastures on lactating dairy cows as indicated by blood parameters

    Creator:
    Marr, Kaylee M.
    Abstract:
    Use of secondary metabolites in legumes and herbs as forage for dairy cattle is tested through analysis of blood parameters including beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), cholesterol, urea, creatinine, haptoglobin, bilirubin, thiol groups and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). The pasture treatments were grass-based (‘Perun’ festulolium (X Festulolium braunii), ‘Rustler’ tall fescue (Festuca...

  • The effect of feeding spent hemp biomass on bone growth in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Pearce, Carolyn
    Abstract:
    Spent hemp biomass (SHB) is a byproduct of the cannabinoid oil production which currently is not approved as a livestock feed ingredient. The 2018 Farm Bill defined the difference between varieties of the cannabis sativa plant as either non-hemp cannabis or hemp which has equal to or less than 0.3...
