Phenotypic and genetic effects of disposition on beef tenderness and quality attributes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Cattle temperament (exit velocity; EV) and steak tenderness (Warner-Bratzler shear force) have been shown to be associated in Bos indicus cattle (Behrends et al., 2009). Both traits potentially provide opportunities for ...
Exploration of fecal microbial transfer and the competitive exclusion concept in broilers as a possible alternative to antibiotic growth promoters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
) 0.9 percent saline solution. Feed was withheld for 2 hrs. after placing the last group of chicks. The rise in public health concerns surrounding antimicrobial resistance triggered the move to ban the use of Antimicrobials (AGPs) in poultry feed...

Zinc ion fluxes on the pathway to mammalian sperm fertilization competency
(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, ...
Comprehensive approach to dietary inclusion of high oleic soybean oil in monogastrics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The banning of partially hydrogenated oils in food processing by the FDA has led to a search for alternative oil sources with a decreased potential for oxidation. While marketed and founded for use in the food industry, ...
Glutamine metabolism and interactions with mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 in porcine preimplantation embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The ability to culture embryos has created opportunities for animal agriculture, including the refined selection of superior genetics, and for the medical field, allowing couples experiencing infertility to have biological ...
