(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Influence of oxygen scavenger technology on retail stability of fresh beef in tri-gas master bag packaging
(2020-05)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of three types of O2 scavengers on color stability in a retail environment. Five different products were each placed into a master bag (n = 45) with either a control, ...
Prediction of daily water intake of pigs during a 41-day nursery phase
(2021-07)
A total of 3,080 pigs (5.5 to 21.8 kg) were utilized to determine the estimated daily water intake of pigs during a 41-d nursery period. The data set included results from 11 experiments with 28 pens (10 pigs per pen). ...

(2020-07)
The objective of this study was to evaluate several of the reported benefits attributed to rotational grazing. Rotational grazing (R) was compared to continuous grazing (C), and grazing behavior, forage and diet quality, ...
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 ...
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 ...
