-
(1981)Nutrient digestibilities in three high-protein feedstuffs used for swine feeding were determined. An effort was made to obtain meals that were representative of those available to pork producers and feed manufacturers in ...
-
(1983)Low output lasers have been increasing in usage in human and veterinary medicine, for these lasers have an analgesic action and a vasodilation action. They have been used successfully in the treatment of equine lamenesses ...
-
(2011-04-20)Reducing the frequency of supplementation is an effective means of reducing cost. However, little research has been conducted evaluating the level of supplemental protein required with infrequent supplementation. Therefore, ...
-
(1977)A metabolism trial was conducted using eight crossbred Brahman steers to determine the effect of grain processing on protein solubility and digestibility of sorghum. Sorghum grain evaluated was a commercial hybrid grown ...
-
(1979)An in vitro fermentation trial was conducted to compare nutrient disappearance and end product production of weathered and nonweathered sorghum. Grain of one line was harvested before and after the rains, cleaned and ...
-
(1985)Cattle implanted with Ralgro (zeranol) or Synovex-S (estradiol/progesterone, 20:200, w/w) reach finishing weight sooner than controls. Further, it is generally agreed that this increase in weight cannot be attributed to ...
-
The Effects of Leptin Antagonist on Hypothalamic Neuropeptide Y Circuitry in Infantile Male Lambs. (2012-04-16)It is proposed that leptin signaling during infantile development is critical for structural organization of hypothalamic circuitry involved in the control of food intake and energy expenditure. The present study tested ...
-
(1994)Uteroferrin (UF), a progesterone-induced acid phosphatase from pig uterus (also called Type 5 tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) and a secretory product of human placenta (human UF, hUF), is responsible for transplacental ...
-
(1980)Seven Quarter Horse mares were fed a balanced diet and milked at discrete intervals throughout a ISO-day lactation. Samples were obtained by hand milking and were analyzed for gross energy concentration by oxygen bomb ...
-
(1985)Production of feeder cattle requires long range planning in selecting and developing an efficient herd. It is critical in the planning process to have good estimates of the market value of different characteristics of the ...
-
(1995)Consumer demands are forcing all segments of the meat industry to decrease fat and increase leanness in products. "The National Survey of Lamb Carcass Cutability Traits" (Tatum et al., 1989) reported that a large proportion ...
-
(2011-04-29)The objective of this study was to map quantitative trait loci for feed efficiency in Bos taurus indicus x Bos taurus taurus crossbred steers. Steers (n = 231) were from 13 full-sibling embryo transfer Nellore-Angus F2 ...
-
(1984)Three investigations in cattle nose and coat color, and body spotting inheritance did result in several hypotheses. In Gray Brahman cattle, black ear tipping appears to be inherited as a simple recessive. Wild-type nose ...
-
(1982)The standard vitamin K dependent carboxylase assay was maximized for use with purified carboxylase preparation. This preparation represented a 100-fold increase in specific activity relative to microsomes. The carboxylation ...
-
(1977)The involvement of neurotransmitters in the inhibitory effect of suckling on plasma LH was investigated. The effect of suckling on the plasma LH levels was studied when the activity of the neurotransmitters, dopamine or ...
-
(1979)Four horses fitted with permanent posterior ileal cannulas were assigned diets in a 4x4 Latin square experiment to measure nitrogen digestion in different segments of the digestive tract. Using a commercial protein supplement, ...
-
(1994)Much research has been done concerning the effectiveness of self-management for diabetic patients. In comparison, information on how effective education techniques are in improving self-management of non insulin dependent ...
-
(1994)The need for a change in the degree of muscling in today’s beef cattle was determined primarily by the National Beef Quality Audit. Studies involving carcass characteristics of diverse breeds of cattle were evaluated to ...
-
(1982)The pattern of estrogen during four reproductive states of the cow was determined by utilizing a frequent blood sampling technique. Plasma samples from a Holstein heifer at thirty minute intervals were analyzed for estrone ...
-
(1982)Rats were sacrificed on days 19, 20, and 21 of pregnancy. Peripheral maternal blood and fetal blood were collected. Deoxycorticosterone (DOC) was tentatively identified using Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and ...
