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...
Comparison of thermoregulatory mechanisms in heat sensitive and tolerant breeds of Bos taurus cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
or minus] 7.5 Kg BW) steers from USDA-ARS, Brooksville, Florida were transported to the Brody Environmental Center at the University of Missouri. Steers were housed for 14 days at thermoneutrality (21C; TN) before 14 days of cyclic heat stress (HS; 26C...
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 ...
Influence of subclinical hypocalcemia on plasma biochemical parameters, liver histologic changes, and common postpartum diseases in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
We hypothesized that cows with subclinical hypocalcemia at calving would have greater elevations in liver associated biochemical parameters and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations compared to normocalcemic cows. ...
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 ...
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...
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, ...
