Influence of subclinical hypocalcemia on plasma biochemical parameters, liver histologic changes, and common postpartum diseases in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
for measurement of [iCa], NEFA concentrations, and plasma chemistry profiles at days -14, 0 (calving), 3, 7, 14, 21, and 35. On day 0, hypocalcemic cows had lower [iCa] than normocalcemic cows (P [less than] 0.001) and lower total plasma Ca (P [less than] 0...
Comprehensive approach to dietary inclusion of high oleic soybean oil in monogastrics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The banning of partially hydrogenated oils in food processing by the FDA has led to a search for alternative oil sources with a decreased potential for oxidation. While marketed and founded for use in the food industry, ...
Developmental exposure to bisphenol a (BPA) and ethinyl estradiol (EE) and effects on F1 parental care and F2 pup parameters in California mice (Peromyscus californicus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Environmental exposure during the perinatal period can promote health and disease in offspring, otherwise coined developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD). Endocrine...
Genetic and nutritional effects on reproduction in lactating dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Good reproductive performance is a prerequisite for profitable pasture-based seasonal calving systems of milk production. The objective of this dissertation was to elucidate the physiological mechanisms contributing to ...
The role of the mammary gland during heat stress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Disruptive effects of climate change, such as increasing environmental temperature, have direct impacts on economic viability and efficiency of food production. In lactating...
Effects of heat stress on leukocyte function and gene expression in lactating dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The effects of heat stress in animal agriculture are expected to become more serious as global temperatures continue to increase. Negative effects on production, reproduction...
Potential diagnostic methods and nutritional changes to combat bovine respiratory disease in receiving cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) accounts for up to 70 percent of health disruptions and $500 million in associated medical costs and production losses, thus receiving considerable attention from cattle health personnel ...
