Genomic Effects on Milk Fatty Acid Composition of Beef Cows and Its Influences on Calf Pre-weaning Growth
Deng, Zhuo (Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)Research has shown that milk yield (MWT) accounts for only a moderate amount of variation in pre-weaning average daily gain (PRWADG). This study was proved that milk fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), alone and in combination ... -
Identifying the Contributions of Interferon Responses to Disease and Pregnancy in Cattle
Chase, Jessica Lee (2015-07-01)Two significant challenges the cattle industry is facing are respiratory disease and infertility. The type I interferon (IFN) pathway plays a pivotal role in both disease and pregnancy. The type I IFN pathway is interrupted ... -
Intensified Cow-calf Production in the Southern Great Plains Incorporating Native Rangeland, Wheat Pasture, Semi-confinement and Cover Crops
Cole, Jarrod (2015-12-01)Decreasing acres of grazing land along with increasing demand in red meat suggests the need for intensified beef cattle production systems. The objective of the two year trial was to decrease land area per unit of production ... -
Nutrient mediation of the immune response in shipping stressed feedlot cattle
Carter, Jeffrey Neil (2000-12) -
Oklahoma Quality Beef Network: Price Premiums from a Preconditioning Program
Ratcliff, Chandra Dawn (Oklahoma State University, 2004-07-01)The proposed study determined if an extra value existed in the preconditioned calves involved in this particular program. It is going to estimate the price differences between cattle sold through the OQBN program and ... -
Performance of light vs. heavy weight steers grazing Plains Old World bluestem at three stocking rates
Ackerman, Callan J. (1999-07) -
Private Benefits of Eastern Redcedar Management and the Impact of Changing Stocker Value of Gain
Coffey, Aaron James (Oklahoma State University, 2013-07-01)The overall objective of this research is to determine the private benefits of eastern redcedar control and how those change with changing forage values. Eastern redcedar causes a reduction in forage availability for ... -
Quantifying Enteric Methane Emissions by Stocker Cattle Grazing Winter Wheat
Thompson, Logan Riley (2017-12-01)The carbon footprint of the beef industry has become an important topic for the general public, and therefore, stakeholders in the industry. Enteric methane is a major contributor to carbon footprint and is a significant ... -
Responses of the Gulf Coast Tick to Odorants to Enhance Field Collection and a Knowledge, Attitude and Practices Survey of Ticks with Oklahoma Beef Producers
Pike, Krista Danielle (2016-07-01)The Gulf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum, Koch, is an arthropod of emerging medical, veterinary, and economic importance. Dragging, flagging, and CO2 trapping produce low capture rates despite populations existing within ... -
Supplementation of dried distillers' grains cubes to cattle: Effects on forage intake and digestibility, grazing performance, and subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics
Adams, Jordan (2021-12)Experiment 1 compared chemical composition and disappearance kinetics of loose and extruded dried distillers' grains (DDG), as well as evaluated DDG cube supplementation rate on DMI and digestibility for growing cattle ... -
Use of near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for the Characterization of Wheat and Barley Grain Entering Feedlots in Western Canada
Harding, Andrew Robert (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)The first experiment evaluated the use of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for the nutrient prediction of wheat grain and the factors affecting in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and in vitro kinetics ... -
Utilization of near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy for the Evaluation and Characterization of Barley in Western Canada
O'Neill, Charlotte Faye (Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)The first study evaluated near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for the determination of barley silage DM on as-is samples using either a commodity specific or broad based equation. A second study was conducted to ... -
Vaccination strategies for preconditioning beef calves
Robe, Jeffrey M. (2022-07)Cattle producers have adopted multiple strategies when administering vaccines to calves. Vaccine administration often occurs without the booster vaccination required by label directions. This practice may provide limited ... -
Water and forage intake, diet digestibility, and blood parameters for beef cows and growing heifers consuming water with varying concentrations of total dissolved salts
Moehlenpah, Alexandra Nicole (2020-12)As water becomes a more limited resource, efficient water utilization is needed to continue animal production during water scarcity and declining water quality. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects ... -
Winter Rye Pasture Production Programs for Growing Beef Cattle
Hales, Kristin Eteinne (Oklahoma State University, 2006-12-01)The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different production programs on cattle performance while grazing winter rye pasture. Providing free-choice soybean hulls in winter pasture production programs ...
