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 ...
Effects of protein source and fat level on performance, growth of the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine, and on pancreatic enzyme activity and gene expression in early-weaned pigs
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of reducing ME (fat) level in diets containing soy protein concentrate (SPC) or spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) on performance of 400 ...
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 ...
Effect of winter growing program on subsequent feedlot performance, body composition, carcass merit, organ mass and oxygen consumption in beef steers
(2006-12)
Effect of winter growing program on finishing performance, body composition, carcass merit, organ mass and oxygen consumption of beef steers was investigated. Four steers were randomly selected as an initial harvest group. ...
