Creator:: Gomes, Maria K.
Abstract:: Two research projects comprise this thesis. The first project investigated modifying the hormone dosing strategy traditionally used in superovulating donor cows for an embryo collection to decrease drug costs without decreasing the number of high quality, transferable embryos recovered. The objective of this project was to evaluate the number and...

Abstract:: In the first experiment, estradiol production was measured in cultured embryos collected on Days 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 post-mating. Estradiol was detected in Day 7 embryos and production increased approximately 50-fold (P<0.05) in medium recovered from Day 13 compared to Day 11 embryos and was greatest (P<0.05) from...

Abstract:: Twenty-six Holstein and 18 Jersey multiparous cows in a randomized block design were assigned by calving date and breed to a non-anionic prepartum diet (CTRL) or a treatment diet containing a commercial anionic salt supplement (Animate®). Control and treatment diets were formulated to a dietary anion-cation difference (DCAD) of 21.3...

Creator:: Bootwalla, Salim Mohsin
Abstract:: Three distinct studies using an ethidium bromidedigitonin fluorometric assay were conducted to determine if the fertilizing ability of individually caged broiler breeder males (BBM) could be enchanced by nutrition, breeding and semen extender viscosity. The first study evaluated the effects on the spermatozoal quality of BBM by feeding corn-soybean meal...
