(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Crossbred male calves (225) with an average weight of 200 kg were used to investigate the metabolic response of feeder steers to the marketing and transportation (MT) processes and Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis virus ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Ultrasonography technology has been applied to livestock production and can be used to estimate carcass characteristics that were once only obtainable at slaughter. To be effective, these measurements must be accurate ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Field data were collected on Beefmaster cattle from three central Texas ranches and three Beefmaster auction sales. Statistical analysis was performed on these data to evaluate the effects of: year, herd, sire, sex of calf, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Twelve DeKalb crossbred gilts were blocked in groups of three by breeding date and one group was one group was randomly assigned to each of four treatments: tethers (T), crates (C), loose stall (LS), and dirtlot (DL) for ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)Scope and Methods of Study: Three sets of data derived from 591 lamb carcasses were utilized. One phase of the study compared the efficiency of conversion of data to a basis of percent, regression on carcass weight, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Barley (TAMBAR 401), wheat (TAM 101), oats (Coker 234), and wheat middlings were fed to 40 kg cannulated pigs to determine amino acid (AA) digestibilities at the end of the small intestine and over the total tract. Percentages ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Fifty-one Angora goats were randomly assigned to two treatment groups, drylot and pasture, with three feed regimes per treatment to study the effect of encapsulated methionine (EM) on mohair production and quality traits. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)In vitro evaluation of 61 varieties of sorghum grain indicated definite varietal differences in digestibility. The only factor having a significant influence on in vitro digestibility was seed hardness which is directly ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Equine spermatozoa were subjected to both in vivo and in vitro treatment and subsequently evaluated for evidence of capacitation. In vivo treatments consisted of incubating freshly ejaculated spermatozoa for intervals of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)Data from 34 wholesale bovine ribs obtained from animals ranging in age from 370 to 731 days were utilized to study those physical, chemical, histological and palatability characteristics which may be related to physiological ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Trial I. Twelve mature Thoroughbred horses were used to evaluate the efficacy of a fat-supplemented diet to maintain muscle glycogen stores and reduce thermal stress in exercising horses. In this study, exercising Thoroughbred ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Trials were conducted over 3 different years to determine the relationships in feedlot and carcass performance, cultural and feed energy requirements of different age groups of cattle. Treatments were calves, yearling and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Through the crossbreeding advantages of Brahman with Bos taurus type cattle, the American breeds have risen to the forefront as predominant beef breeds in Texas. A survey was designed to evaluate breeder perception, identify ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Through the use of an artificial neural network the analysis of reproductive performance in high producing dairy cattle using startup lactation information was evaluated. Data was obtained from monthly DHIA tapes and used ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)An experiment was conducted to measure voluntary intake, nitrogen flow and digestibility of fiber and nitrogen fractions in the gastric (G), small intestines (I) and hindgut (H) digestive segments of crossbred yearling ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)Experiments were conducted to ascertain the digestibility of varieties of sorghum grain by cattle and to identify factors responsible for these differences. In a preliminary experiment, 27 varieties of sorghum grain were ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Initially, assay conditions were established for the fatty acid elongation and desaturation pathways of bovine liver and adipose tissue microsomes; rat liver microsomes were used as a reference. Rat liver elongation activity ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Through the advantages related to environmental adaptability and heterosis, Bos indicus type cattle have increased in numbers throughout the southern U.S. By systematically breeding Bos indicus with Bos taunts type cattle, ...
