Transcriptional profiling by deep sequencing indentifies [sic] differences in mRNA transcript abundance in in vivo derived vs. in vitro cultured porcine blastocyst stage embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
the known porcine "transcriptome". A total of 1,170 database members were different between the two groups (P[less than]0.05), and 588 of those were at least 2-fold different. Eleven transcripts were subjected to real-time PCR and each validated...
Characterization of progesterone receptor (PGR) mRNA and protein isoforms in the endometrium of cyclic and pregnant pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
in endometrium on d 0 than on d 8 and d 12 (P < 0.05), while PGR-A did not differ significantly with day of the estrous cycle. Presence of PGR-B protein was detected in the nucleus of the LE and glandular epithelium (GE). The PGR-A protein was detected...
Potential diagnostic methods and nutritional changes to combat bovine respiratory disease in receiving cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) accounts for up to 70 percent of health disruptions and $500 million in associated medical costs and production losses, thus receiving considerable attention from cattle health personnel ...
Generation of a reference genome to investigate population fitness and transitional cell carcinoma occurrence in the fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Many species are vulnerable or on the verge of extinction as a result of increased habitat degradation and fragmentation. Conservation genetics has attempted to apply an understanding of species genetics to reduce the risk ...
Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
by population substructure. Human population genetics has examined these issues in detail and has developed models which incorporate ancestry effects in the estimation of population susceptibilities to disease risk in association analyses, as well...
Net energy content of soybean meal and glycerol for growing and finishing pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Net energy systems are widely accepted and utilized throughout Europe. The main net energy systems used are the French INRA, the Dutch CVB and the Danish PPE. These energy systems are not widely accepted in the U.S. due ...
Using metabolic and biochemical characteristics of postmortem muscle to investigate the interconnectedness of beef color, flavor, and tenderness
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
[less than] 0.05) to Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) values at 336 h postmortem. Metmyoglobin reducing activity at 336 h exhibited moderate, positive (P [less than] 0.05) relationships with slice shear force (SSF) and WBSF values at 48 h. L*, a...
DNA methylation in the early porcine embryo
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, parthenogenetic activation, and somatic cell nuclear transfer are powerful procedures in the production of animals for agriculture, ...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This thesis examines ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution, particularly where they can improve livestock production systems. We performed an experiment that estimated ruminal in situ degradation parameter values of ...
