Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized that these diets would...
The effect of reduced nocturnal temperatures on the performance of broiler chicks and hen turkey poults from 0 to 21 days of age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"The world population has increased over the past century and with this increase in the world population comes an increase in demand of animal protein for consumption. The United States produced 8.78 billion broilers and ...
Increasing land and forage utilization by Missouri cow/calf operations using silvopasture practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
. Two experiments were conducted primarily focusing on methods which allow producers to improve the number of animal grazing days on their operations by implementing silvopastoral systems and increasing forage quality of pastures by applying legumes...
Approaches for alleviating toxic effects of aflatoxin in lactating dairy cows and weanling pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and death in humans and animals, safe, practical and effective strategies for alleviating or preventing the toxic effects of AF are highly desirable. Therefore, two experiments were conducted to evaluate two approaches for reducing the toxic effects...
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 ...
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
(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 ...
Ruminal degradation of protein and carbohydrate in the domestic and wild ruminant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
protein (RUP) for the animal. The first experiment in this study examined the level of feed-grade crystalline amino acids (AA) required in a diet to provide appreciable levels of limiting AA as RUP. The solubility of these AA in a mixed rumen culture...
Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics
(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 ...
Endocrine associations with beef carcass quality and yield
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Serum concentrations of insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and leptin were investigated relative to their association to beef carcass quality and yield grades...
Uterine regulation of preimplantation embryo development in fertility-classified heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, serial embryo transfer (3-4 rounds) was used to classify heifers based on pregnancy success on day 28 as high fertile (HF; 100%), subfertile (SF; 25%), or infertile (IF; 0%). Next, a series of experiments were conducted using the fertility...
Evaluating pig performance, carcass merit and processed pork quality when chestnuts and acorns are fed to Duroc-influenced pig genetics during late finishing
(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 ...
Alleviation of heat stress with Tasco in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The present study determined the impact of Tasco, Ascophyllum nodosum, on heat stress in dairy cows. Thirty-two Holstein cows were utilized in a randomized complete block design, during 63 days in summer 2008. Feed intake, ...
