Although there is abundant scientific information regarding vitamin E and selenium deficiency disease in domestic poultry, there is only scant information on exotic species, such as ratites. Several necropsy cases involving ostriches, emus and rheas were presented to the Oregon State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory with gross and/or histologic lesions...
Wood stiffness is one of the most important properties of lumber and veneer. We studied wood stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE), wood density, microfibril angle, and knots in a 25 year-old wind pollinated progeny test (50 families, ~ 373 trees) of coastal Douglas-fir to understand the potential for genetically improving...
