Three levels of dietary crude protein (8.6, 11.4, and 17.2) were
fed to 24 pony mares to determine the effects on the estrous cycle,
conception rate, and serum progesterone concentrations. Mares were allotted into three treatment groups designated as low protein (LP),
medium protein (MP), and high protein (HP). Following...
The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...
Investigations were conducted to (1) determine the original
pattern of deposition and thickness of ash in the Ochoco and Blue
Mountain areas of Oregon, (2) determine if discontinuities exist in
the parent material of these soils, (3) determine the degree of mixing
of ash with other materials and evaluate reworking...
Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests has the potential to enhance structural diversity and improve habitat for wildlife. I examined the effects of thinning and thinning intensity on abundance and demographic characteristics of forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon 5 and 6 years after thinning had occurred. Thinning...
The reproductive performance of four strains of broiler breeder
males (BBM) were compared when housed in individual cages from 22 to
56 weeks of age (WOA), and fed Asi libitum 7% crude protein (CP) diets
with 1985, 2424, 2868 kilocalories (kcal) metabolizable (M) energy (E) per
kg of feed and...
This study involved the use of the two-choice preference test to determine the taste responses of eight, each, of pygmy goats, normal goats, sheep and cattle to ascending concentrations of sucrose (Suc), sodium chloride (NaC1), acetic acid (HAc) and quinine hydrochloride (QHCI). In addition, sheep and cattle were tested at...
This dissertation consists of three papers on agricultural nonpoint source pollution and control. The first paper focuses primarily on agricultural land use changes under alternative conservation policies. The second and third papers address environmental implications of these policies and their cost effectiveness. In the first paper, the effect of alternative...
Prostate cancer risk is significantly lower in Asian countries compared to the US, which has prompted interest in the chemo-preventative action of dietary components such as soy and green tea commonly found in Asian diets, such as soy and green tea. Studies have suggested that soy isoflavones and green tea...
