This investigation for the first time reports information on the
correlation of various forms and ratios of nicotinamide nucleotide
coenzymes in the liver tissue and endocrine glands weight with
various production traits. Fifty-five inbred and line cross beef bulls
raised under standard management conditions and slaughtered at 1000
lbs. body...
Three inbred and relatively unrelated lines of Hereford cattle
(1. Lionheart, 2. Prince, and 3. David) developed at the Corvallis
branch of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station as part of the
W-1 project of the Western States were crossed annually from 1963
through 1965 inclusive. Data on 137 inbred and...
Some effects of hormone treatment on feedlot heifers were
studied. The treatments were 15 mg diethylstilbestrol (DES) implant,
Synovex H implant, .25 mg oral melengestrol acetate (MGA)
per head per day, and .40 mg oral MGA per head per day. One
hundred heifers, 20 to each treatment, were used. All...
The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross
among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves
born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate
estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences
among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...
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...

The production records used were all converted to a comparable
based, 305 day lactation period, two times a day milking, and
mature equivalent (305 days-2-x-ME) of 71 cows from four Holstein
bulls and 59 cows from four Jersey bulls were used for the study.

Evaluations of body form and measures of milk production were
recorded for 188 Holstein lactations and 77 Jersey lactations in the
Oregon State University Dairy Herds. Components of body form
included general appearance, dairy character, body capacity, and
mammary system and 34 sub-components of these four traits plus body
weight...
