Effects of Artemisia afra and Artemisia absinthium on fertility of male mice exposed to increased ambient temperatures for 24 hours
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Males exposed to elevated temperatures display a decrease in reproductive performance resulting in decreased profit for producers. The use of herbs to alleviate the effects of heat in tropical countries has been documented for centuries. Male mice...
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 of severe population...
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)
, and impact on immunocompetences from hatch to 21 days and hatch to 42 days of age, raised on used litter and wire mesh battery cages. Results in the studies here in showed that FMT treatment had a major effect (P<0.05) on growth performance for the first 7...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
. In one analysis, we showed the relative feed value system did not explain variation in these parameter estimates, underscoring a biological limitation of this system. In a subsequent analysis, we found that ruminal digestibility estimated from mean...
