Genome-wide identification of mammalian defensins and functional analysis of a novel defensin-related peptide
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to identify novel antimicrobial defensins encoded in the genomes of evolutionarily diverse species such as dog, rat, mouse, human and chimpanzee. Our hypothesis was ...
Effect of water-soluble plant extract on nursery pig performance
(2022-07)
The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a water-soluble phytogenic product on growth performance and immune response of nursery pigs. 280 pigs were utilized in this 42-day study. Pigs were allocated ...
Effects of forage allowance and supplementation on performance of steers grazing winter wheat pasture
(2020-07)
A study was conducted over two fall/winter wheat grazing seasons (2018 - 2020) to estimate the combined effect of forage allowance and a fiber-based energy supplement in stocker cattle grazing wheat. Eight pastures (2.7 ...
Effect of Dietary Fiber Level on the Healing of Gastric Ulcers in Horses
(2019-07)
Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is estimated to occur in 53 to 93% of performance horses. Feeding practices, management, and dietary composition have all been suggested to impact the frequency and severity of EGUS. ...
Supplementation of dried distillers' grains cubes to cattle: Effects on forage intake and digestibility, grazing performance, and subsequent feedlot performance and carcass characteristics
(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 ...
Ancillery therapy use and trace mineral supplementation in beef cattle: Impacts on clinical health, immune response variables, animal performance, and carcass traits
(2014-07)
Newly received calves that received antimicrobial treatment for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental ancillary therapy (ANC) groups: flunixin meglumine (NSAID), viral vaccination ...
Effects of dietary fiber during gestation on sow reproductive performance
(2022-07)
Although fiber in gestational diets has been reported to be beneficial, there are contradicting results, and to this day there is not a set recommendation on its use. In the first experiment, two levels of total dietary ...
Mass balance of nutrients for the swine finishing phase: Effects of dietary manipulation on nutrient retention, nutrient excretion, and gaseous emissions
(2007-12)
Scope and Method of Study: A total of 3 experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of reducing dietary CP, P, and trace minerals on DM, N, P and mineral excretion, and ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions during ...
