Effects of heat stress on reproduction and productivity of primiparous sows and their piglets' performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
.75 vs. 3.12 kg; P [less than] 0.001). Total born (11.7 pigs), piglet birth weight (1.46 kg) and total weaned (10.3 pigs) were similar, but weaning weight was greater for TN sows (6.21 vs. 5.76 kg; P [less than] 0.053). Weaning to estrus interval (4.70 d...
Evaluation and development of early pregnancy diagnosis in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
is still not understood. ISG15 expression in peripheral blood leukocytes was greater for pregnant compared with non-pregnant Holstein cows. ISG15 increased in the circulation during early pregnancy and responded to a minimal dose of 10 pg/ml when blood...
Transgenerational effects of in utero heat stress on reproduction in pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Seasonal infertility caused by high ambient temperatures and humidity during the summer months can have negative effects on the reproduction of female swine. These conditions may cause heat stress leading to large economic ...
Characterization of progesterone receptor (PGR) mRNA and protein isoforms in the endometrium of cyclic and pregnant pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
in endometrial tissue from cyclic (days 0, 5, 7.5, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17) and pregnant (days 10, 12, 13, 15, 17) pigs. Isoform PGR-B mRNA had a tendency to be greater on d 0 and d 5 and decreased on d 7.5 and d 15 (P < 0.10). Combined PGR-AB mRNA was constitutively...
