Nutritional and management strategies of trace mineral supplementation for beef cattle

Creator:: Puerto Hernandez, Gracia Maria
Abstract:: Two studies evaluated the mineral status of supplemented beef cattle over two different methods of supplementation. The objective of study 1 was to evaluate the mineral status at weaning and subsequent post-weaning performance of calves supplemented prior to weaning, with limited-fed supplements fortified with trace minerals (Cu, Se, and Zn)...

Prevalence of Deficiency and Relationship of Management Practices to Vitamin E and Selenium Status in Horses

Creator:: Pitel, Mariya O.
Abstract:: Deficiency of selenium (Se) or alpha-tocopherol (E) creates serious health issues in horses. This study evaluated owner supplementation practices and their efficacy at preventing deficiency in a large population of horses. In addition, common clinical signs of horses presenting to a referral institution who had Se and E testing performed...

Possible Autocrine/Paracrine Action of Progesterone in the Ovine Corpus Luteum

Creator:: Smallman, Mary A.
Abstract:: The objective of the present research was to determine, by use of the progesterone receptor antagonist RU-486, whether progesterone by autocrine/paracrine action suppresses phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis, and thus, the production of prostaglandin F2a during the midluteal phase of the estrous cycle in ewes. Two experiments were performed. Experiment 1 consisted of...

Learning to Care : Applied Ethics for Improving Farmed Animal Welfare

Creator:: Zarajczyk, Katie MaryRuth
Abstract:: This thesis seeks to explore how an ecofeminist lens is currently the most useful approach for improving farmed animal welfare. Through examining Western conceptions of non-human animals, I seek to shed light upon the inconsistent treatment of domestic species. Species that are dependent upon us deserve, at a minimum, not...

Increasing Vitamin D Levels to Improve Fertilization Rates in Cattle

Creator:: Peixoto de Souza, Vanessa
Abstract:: Recently, an interest in supplementation of vitamin D to improve aspects of health, especially in human fertility, has emerged. However, supplementation of Vitamin D above the minimum required levels to prevent deficiency has yet to be explored in cattle despite evidence for vitamin D receptors in reproductive tissues. The objective...

Pasture Production and Lamb Growth from Dryland Hill Pastures in Western Oregon

Creator:: Gultekin, Yunus
Abstract:: Pasture legumes that persist under challenging agro-ecological conditions are crucial to ensure high lamb growth rates in dryland pastures. Pasture and lamb production from white clover (TF-Whc), birdsfoot trefoil (TF-Bft), balansa clover (TF-Bc) and subterranean clover (TF-Sc) planted with tall fescue either as binary mixtures or as a diverse combination...

Reconstruction and Validation of the Integrated Diagnostic SystEm for DAiry Cow WeLfare (IDEAL) to Assess Real-time Animal Well-being on Confined and Grazing Dairy Farms

Creator:: Krueger, Angela K.
Abstract:: Animal welfare is an essential component of agricultural production and animal use in teaching and research. However, defining animal welfare is intrinsically difficult because of how history and societal values and perceptions have shaped the term. Animal welfare encompasses three main ideas: physical well-being, normal affective/emotional states, and the ability...

Testing of vapor-liquid equilibrium data for thermodynamic consistency

Creator:: Frutiger, Richard Patrick
Abstract:: Redlich and Kister have developed two methods for evaluating thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. These same authors also developed a power series for classifying systems according to the number of coefficients required to define the data. Stockett found it was difficult to classify systems by this method. Macan suggested...

The Response of Ventenata dubia to Prescribed Fire and Ungulate Grazing on the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie

Creator:: Ridder, Luke W.
Abstract:: Ventenata dubia L. (ventenata) is an introduced, winter annual grass that has recently been raising concerns across the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie and the Palouse Prairie. It is well established now in pasturelands, croplands, and a variety of ecosystems including grasslands, sagebrush steppe, ponderosa pine forests and woodlands. Ventenata is...
