(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 ...
-
Previous research suggests that Bos taurus taurus cattle (BT) are less feed efficient when fed low-quality forage, produce more methane (CH4), and exhibit lower levels of N recycling than Bos taurus indicus cattle (BI), ...
-
Blood lactate concentrations and heart rate levels surrounding exercise provide valuable insight into the physiological response to advancing workloads, but minimal research has been published involving yearling horses. ...
-
(2014-10-02)In cattle, differences in base coat color are attributed to the enzymatic activity specified by the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) locus with alleles coding for black (ED), red (e), and wild-type (E+). These alleles have ...
-
(2018-04-30)In human and veterinary medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have significant therapeutic benefits. MSCs can differentiate into a variety of cells including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, or adipocytes. Fetal bovine serum ...
-
(2014-01-15)Supplemental fat is predominantly fed in feedlots to increase the energy value of the ration. Feedlots utilize supplemental fat to replace energy from grains because of its lower cost per unit of DE. Our objective was to ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2014-01-22)Beef cattle production is profoundly dependent on the diets provided to the cattle and their ability to promote growth. Dietary markers significantly aid beef cattle nutritionists by providing an index to measure diet ...
-
(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, ...
-
(2014-09-18)Intensification of cow-calf production by limit-feeding high-energy diets could increase beef production per acre and returns to cow-calf enterprises while reversing the decline in beef cow numbers. To determine the impact ...
-
(2012-07-11)Bahiagrass (paspalum notatum), a forage resource in the southern United States, often has lower forage quality than other forages, but may require fewer nutrient inputs. Our objectives were to determine the effects of N ...
-
To quantify the relationship between experience level and physiological stress of horse and rider during a bareback riding session, 28 horses (geldings, ages 6-20 years) and 28 riders (16 male, 12 female, ages 19-22) were ...

-
(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 ...
-
Glycine is an amino acid that is used for the synthesis of muscle proteins. In the present study, we conducted an experiment to determine the optimal amount of glycine for C2C12 cells to be synthesized and prevent degradation. ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2010-07-14)A study evaluating the effects of metaphylaxis antibiotics and milk replacer additives on the health and development of Holstein bull calves (n=52; mean body weight=42.28 kg + 3 kg; starting age <3 days) was conducted. The ...
-
(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 ...
