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...
As the world population continues to grow we must look for smarter and more sustainable ways to feed everyone. Milk is the first food humans consume and is a good source of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The following studies sought to determine the effect of feeding blackberry pomace as a...
During the peripartum period (3 weeks before through 3 weeks after calving, a.k.a. “transition”), high producing dairy cows experience, among others, , oxidative stress and immune suppression that compromise performance and increased incidence of diseases.Among trace minerals, supplementation of Selenium (Se) can help to improve the transition by enhancing glutathione...
Bone is much more than a simple, static organ. While its classical functions of mineral storage, organ protection, and locomotion still hold true, further studies into the skeleton have revealed a dynamic system capable of signaling, communication, remodeling, and responding to various stimuli. Overall skeletal health is critically important to...
Diverse pastures containing multiple species help extend the grazing season and reduce the reliance on one or two species to meet all the nutritional requirements of livestock. Planting pasture species in spatially separated adjacent strips can increase the proportion of pasture plants with certain agronomic and nutritional attributes such as...
Growing concerns over the rise of anthelmintic resistant populations of gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) have led producers to look for alternative means of treatment. These sentiments have been echoed by organic producers, who are restricted from the use of synthetically derived anthelmintics in the US. Chicory has emerged as a potential...
