Use of time-lapse video surveillance to evaluate meat color
(2022-12)
This study has two objectives; the first objective was to assess the ability to utilize time-lapse video technology to color score the longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle. The second objective was to determine the point in ...
Maternal temperament and offspring disposition affect growth performance
(2022-05)
Cattle temperament has been described as the level of fearfulness toward humans or a novel environment. Cattle with an undesirable temperament may have increased aggression toward handlers, poor reproductive success, and ...
Chicken antimicrobial peptides: Genome-wide identification and functional and structural analysis
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of the study is to identify novel antimicrobial peptides in chickens and characterize the functions and structures of a few selected peptides for their therapeutic potential. A ...
Evaluation of Coccivac-B® and Sacox 60® (salinomycin) for control of 3 strains of Eimeria in broilers
(2007-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of the research experiment was to contrast Coccivac-B® vaccine with feed applied salinomycin (Sacox 60®) throughout the broiler's growth curve. The Schering-Plough theory of Quadrant ...
Effects of differing carbon dioxide levels on meat color in modified atmosphere packaging
(2021-05)
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of different carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration gas flushes in master packages on the display life of fresh beef. Twenty-five USDA Low Choice ribeye rolls (IMPS 112A) ...
Effect of increasing ruminal propionate on feed intake and glucose metabolism in steers fed a finishing diet
(2021-05)
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of increased propionate supply to steers fed a feedlot finishing diet on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, glucose clearance rate, insulin response and hepatic ...
Enhancing chicken innate immunity and disease resistance by boosting host defense peptide synthesis
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Routine use of antibiotics for growth promotion and disease prevention in animal agriculture has caused the concern for rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance in public health worldwide. In ...
Effect of distillers dried grains with solubles and a feed additive containing essential oils on performance of wean-to-finish pigs
(2020-07)
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and a feed additive containing essential oils on growth performance of wean-to-finish and nursery pigs. Feed disappearance ...
Nutritional and management strategies for high-risk beef calves during the receiving period
(2021-07)
Crossbred beef steers (n = 605; initial BW = 255 +/- 8.3 kg) were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments upon arrival to the feedlot. Steers were either administered metaphylactic antimicrobial treatment at arrival (MET) ...
Identification and characterization of uterine transcriptional and translational factors contributing to endocrine disruption of the pregnant and pseudopregnant model phenotype in pigs
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Embryonic mortality has been demonstrated to occur through endocrine disruption of the uterine environment in the pig. Exogenous estrogen administration to pregnant gilts on days 9 and 10 of ...
