Genetics in practice : applications of quantitative genetics to environment and educational pursuits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
in consumption was due to a minimum of about 10-12 genes. Such a high number of genes with little information on architecture makes reliable phenotypic selection difficult. Ultimately, we determined the phenotype was lost in LB animals but about six genes were...
Growth, performance and quality attributes of steers supplemented with high oleic soybean oil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Growing concerns with saturated fatty acids on human health has led to research being done to reduce saturated fatty acid levels in animal tissues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of high oleic soybean ...
Role of preovulatory estradiol in uterine and luteal function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
in estrus (Richardson et al., 2016). We hypothesized that increased preovulatory concentrations of estradiol would enhance conceptus elongation in beef heifers. To test the preceding hypothesis conceptus elongation on day 16 (day 0 = GnRH-induced ovulation...
Biology of uterine glands : impact on reproductive function
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pregnancy loss is the most common complication of human gestation, and roughly one-half of conceptions result in pregnancy loss, most frequently in the ...

Comparison of thermoregulatory mechanisms in heat sensitive and tolerant breeds of Bos taurus cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Two Bos taurus breeds with known differences in heat tolerance were tested under controlled conditions to evaluate heat tolerance. Romosinuano (RO) is a tropically adapted breed. Nine Angus (304 [plus or minus] 7 Kg BW; ...
