    Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection 

    Liu, Zhilin, 1976- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...

    Selection for placental efficiency in swine 

    Mesa Echeverri, Henry, 1972- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
    with MTDFREML procedures. Breeding values were estimated (EBV) for individual BW (n = 2,111), PW (n = 2,006), PE (n = 1,677), and SI (n = 1,677). Direct heritability estimates were 0.03, 0.25, 0.18, 0.11 and 0.08 for BW, PW, PE, SI, and TB, respectively. Genetic...

    Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution 

    Hackmann, Timothy, 1984- (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 ...

    Evaluation of modified montmorillonites in poultry diets 

    Butkeraitis, Paula, 1980- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The present work was conducted to determine if modification of MONTs with Cu and Zn would enhance the protection of broiler chicks against the adverse effects of AF, and to determine if the modified MONTs would be bioavailable ...

    Evaluating pig performance, carcass merit and processed pork quality when chestnuts and acorns are fed to Duroc-influenced pig genetics during late finishing 

    Burdick, Katelyn (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
    The objective of this study was to determine effects of feeding chestnuts and acorns on growth performance, carcass quality and further processed products of Duroc/Duroc crossbred finishing barrows. Barrows (n = 30) were ...

    Zinc ion fluxes on the pathway to mammalian sperm fertilization competency 

    Kerns, Karl (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
    For decades, the role of the divalent ion calcium was the focus of understanding mechanisms leading to sperm fertilization competency and management of semen storage. Little focus has been placed on other divalent ions, ...

    Effects of continous administration of low-dose of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in chicks and poults fed non toxic doses of aflatoxin B1 and T-2 toxin 

    Guaiume, Elisângela Aparecida (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
    Six studies (three with broilers and three with turkeys) were conducted to determine if E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) would enhance the effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and the T-2 toxin (T-2) in chicks and poults fed ...

    Effects of fescue toxicosis and chronic heat stress on murine hepatic gene expression 

    Bhusari, Sachin, 1976- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    Fescue toxicosis affects domestic animals grazing fescue pasture infected with the endophytic fungus, Neotyphodium coenophialum. Signs of fescue toxicosis include increased body temperature and respiration rate and decreased ...

    An analysis of aspartic peptidases expressed by trophoblasts and placenta of even-toed ungulates 

    Telugu, Bhanu Prakash V. L., 1977- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    The Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs) represent a multigene family of trophoblast expressed proteins, found exclusively in the placenta of even-toed mammals such as ruminants (cattle, sheep), pig, etc. In ruminants, ...

    Effects of heat stress on leukocyte function and gene expression in lactating dairy cows 

    Hirtz, Libby Kathleen (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The effects of heat stress in animal agriculture are expected to become more serious as global temperatures continue to increase. Negative effects on ...

    New perspective on the role of conceptus estrogens in conceptus development, maternal recognition, and the establishment of pregnancy in pigs. 

    Meyer, Ashley Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    The proposed signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy in pigs is estrogen, produced by the elongating conceptus. To understand the role of estrogen in porcine conceptus elongation and pregnancy establishment, a loss ...

    Transcriptional profiling by deep sequencing indentifies [sic] differences in mRNA transcript abundance in in vivo derived vs. in vitro cultured porcine blastocyst stage embryos 

    Bauer, Bethany Kay (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    In vitro embryo culture systems promote development at rates lower than in vivo. The goal of this project was to discover transcripts that may be responsible for a decrease of embryo competency in blastocyst stage embryos ...

    Determination of allelic expression of H19 in pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryos 

    Negrón Pérez, Verónica M., 1988- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    H19 is a maternally-expressed imprinted non-coding RNA with tumor suppressor activity. H19 is located in an imprinted cluster which contains the paternally-expressed fetal growth factor Igf2. Monoallelic expression of H19 ...

    Potential diagnostic methods and nutritional changes to combat bovine respiratory disease in receiving cattle 

    Martin, Cooper Daniel (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 ...

    Genetics in practice : applications of quantitative genetics to environment and educational pursuits 

    Haag, Maria Therese (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    "The ability to elucidate quantitative trait architecture and introduce potentially beneficial traits makes introgression a useful tool. Unfortunately, due to the nature of inheritance there are certainly limitations to ...

    Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 contributes to reduced fecundity in a rat model of endometriosis 

    Stilley, Julie Ann Weaver, 1983- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide; its symptoms are pain and reduced fecundity. An established rat model was used which endometriosis ...

    Factors affecting neonatal and peripartum maternal metabolism and behavior in beef cattle and horses 

    Duncan, Natalie Brooke (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)

    Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics 

    Crum, Tamar (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
    Accounting for ancestry and cryptic population structure is important in population genetic data analysis. The estimation of ancestry can help elucidate the effects of admixture or stratification on allele and genotype ...

    Differential gene and protein expression in pig nuclear transfer extraembryonic membranes and blastocyst stage embryos 

    Whitworth, Kristin Marie, 1973- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
