Have a healthy baby
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2010)
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, ...
Potential diagnostic methods and nutritional changes to combat bovine respiratory disease in receiving cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
alike. Experiments were conducted in 2 studies to investigate aspects of nutrition and animal health in receiving cattle. Blood chemistry and immune components of sick and healthy cattle, along with feed intake, growth, and feed efficiency were evaluated...
Graduate catalog, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009-2010
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 2009)
Phenolics in red wine pomace and their potential application in animal and human health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
). In this research, five Missouri red wine pomace samples were evaluated; Chambourcin, Grenache, Michigan, Norton and Vincent varieties. They were analyzed for total phenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay, total condensed tannin content using the Vanillin...
Some factors favoring or opposing fruitfulness in apples
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1918)
Effects of essential oils on the performance, health, and feeding behavior of growing cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
was conducted to evaluate the effects of a blend of EO in a commercially available complete feed (MFA Cattle Charge, MFA Inc., Columbia, MO) on performance, health, and feeding behavior of steers during the backgrounding phase. Eighty beef steers (initial BW...
Factors affecting neonatal beef calf metabolism and vigor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
were investigated in beef cattle. Colostrum volume and weight from nutrient restricted dams was 40 percent less compared with control dams. Although gestational nutrition did not affect gestation length or calf birth weight, calves born to control dams...
Approaches for alleviating toxic effects of aflatoxin in lactating dairy cows and weanling pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Aflatoxin (AF) is a mycotoxin found in feed ingredients used in livestock diets including dairy cattle and pigs. Aflatoxin causes reduced performance, liver damage, increased prevalence of infectious disease, and secretion ...
Forage production and diversification for climate-smart tropical and temperate silvopastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
. We examined three distinct silvopastures, two in the country of Panama and one in the state of Missouri, to better understand how the integration of woody perennial trees and shrubs affects forage productivity, availability, and nutritional value...
Lifestyle treatment in the regression of NASH: insulin resistance, lipid synthesis, and methodological innovation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
(liquid chromatography mass spectrometry) were used to track the synthesis of CERs within hepatic tissues of mice consuming 13C3 15N L-serine dissolved in their water and a high fat (60 percent energy, HFD) or a control (low fat, 20 percentE, CD) diet...

Role of adropin in arterial stiffening associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Adropin is a peptide largely secreted by the liver and known to regulate energy homeostasis; however, it also exerts cardiovascular effects. Herein, I tested the hypothesis that low circulating levels of adropin in obesity ...
Effects of supplemental amino acid and grain processing on nutrient disappearance and nitrogen and energy balance in cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Milk and meat production among cattle fed corn and corn products is often limited by available energy and amino acids absorbed from the diet. Nutrients available from feed to support lactation or growth are a result of ...
Studies of ruminant digestion, ecology, and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
and the fossil record, to demonstrate the pattern of large BW within the Ruminantia is a response to nutritional resource limitations. Our final study recapitulates key points in the ecology and evolution of wild ruminants, then discusses how these points...
Genetic and nutritional effects on reproduction in lactating dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
background but are influenced by maternal nutrition. Study four investigated the association between milk PAG S-N in early gestation with variables related to the dam, sire and gestating fetus. Dam genetic merit for milk production did not have a large effect...
Volatile and sensory analysis of raw soy slurries and aged-bean soymilk produced from novel soybean cultivars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
processing for deodorization; however, the process can affect nutrition and protein functionality. Addressing soy off-flavors from a genetic perspective of the soybean may allow for a reduction in off-flavors with preservation of protein functionality...
The relationship between high school sport participation and subsequent health behaviors of college young adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Researchers have gathered irrefutable evidence substantiating that the increase in childhood obesity rates is primarily due to environmental and lifestyle factors such as (a...
