Cotton seed and cotton-seed products as feeds for live stock
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The purpose of this work was to get together the results of the different experiments with cotton seed and cotton seed products in order that comparisons might be made of the feeding values of the different products with each other and with other...
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 ...
Effects of essential oils on the performance, health, and feeding behavior of growing cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
. Essential oils are reported to alter ruminal fermentation (Hart et al., 2008) and animal performance (Calsamiglia et al., 2007). There is also evidence to suggest that EOs may manipulate feeding behavior in cattle (Tager and Krause, 2011). An experiment...
Silage as a part ration for horses and mules or various ages under varying conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from page 174: This was an initial effort to feed silage as a part ration to horses and mules of various ages and under varying conditions at the Missouri Experiment Station. The data in the 1915-1916 tests are not sufficient to make possible...
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 ...
Determining the efficacy of a biosensor to detect calpastatin, a meat tenderness indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An instrumental tenderness detection system used at the time of grading to sort beef carcasses on their predicted tenderness would be valuable for the beef industry. A biosensor to accurately predict calpastatin, the ...
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...
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...
Factors affecting neonatal beef calf metabolism and vigor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Two studies were conducted to investigate factors affecting neonatal beef calf metabolism and vigor. In the first study, effects of late gestational nutrient restriction on colostrum yield, neonatal vigor, and blood chemistry ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
