Role of dietary zinc in shaping the gastrointestinal microbiota in nursery pigs
(2022-07)
Gut microbiota play an important role in extraction, synthesis and absorption of nutrients. Commensal bacteria prevent pathogenic bacteria colonization and maintain intestinal epithelium integrity. The most common families ...
Impacts of a Nutritional Water Supplement and Threonine to Lysine Ratios on Growth Performance of Nursery Pigs
(2019-07)
Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a nutritional water supplement and threonine to lysine ratios on growth performance of nursery pigs. Two experiments were conducted to understand the effects of a ...
Characterizing the proteomic and mitochondrial functional differences between normal-pH and dark-cutting beef
(2019-12)
Dark-cutting beef is an example of color deviation, in which beef fails to have a characteristic bright-red color. The overall goal of the current research was to determine the biochemical basis of dark-cutting beef. Two ...
Chicken intestinal mycobiome: Biogeography, succession, and response to in-feed antibiotics
(2019-12)
In-feed antibiotics increase animal performance primarily through modulation of the intestinal microbiota. However, the exact mechanism of action is not understood. Furthermore, a majority of research on intestinal microbiota ...
Effect of competition for an automated supplement feeder on supplement intake behavior of beef stocker steers
(2019-12)
The objective of this research was to determine the effect of competition for a feeding space at an automated supplement feeder on supplement intake behavior. A 2-yr study was conducted; each yr, 128 mixed-breed beef steers ...
Effects of water soluble zinc on growth performance, immune response, and tissue zinc transporters in nursery pigs
(2020-12)
Regardless of adding pharmacological levels of dietary ZnO and CuSO4, supplementing water soluble Zn amino acid complex (ZnAAC) via drinking water can offer excellent Zn bioavailability to support growth and immune function ...
Application of feed additive technologies to enhance health and performance of forage-fed cattle
(2014-07)
A total of 260 cows and 7 cannulated steers were used in four studies to the effects of Bio-Mos, monensin, and slow release urea on cow and calf performance, passive immunity, and in situ digestibility. All experiments ...
Influence of curcumin on growth performance and immune status of nursery pigs
(2013-12)
Five experiments were conducted to determine the effects of curcumin on growth performance and immune response of pigs. Experiment one evaluated the effects of increasing levels of turmeric on growth performance and immune ...
Expression and role of fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) in bovine folliculogenesis
(2016-07)
In the ovaries, many members of the FGF family are involved in the regulation of folliculogenesis. One of these members, FGF9, has been characterized as an anti-differentiation factor for its effects on steroidogenesis of ...
