Effects of aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) on hepatic gene expression in pigs and turkeys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of curcumin (CMN), an antioxidant supplied by turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder to ameliorate the adverse effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on performance of pigs ...
Determination of allelic expression of H19 in pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
H19 is a maternally-expressed imprinted non-coding RNA with tumor suppressor activity. H19 is located in an imprinted cluster which contains the paternally-expressed fetal growth factor Igf2. Monoallelic expression of H19 ...
Improvement in stored forage utilization during feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Three experiments investigated methods to reduce forage waste during stored forage feeding using large round bale feeders (LRBF). In the first experiment, cone and sheeted LRBF reduced (P < 0.05) fescue hay waste 54 and ...
Modeling EAA requirement and developing low fishmeal diet for yellow perch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Overall, my dissertation research sought to enhance production of yellow perch by developing a low cost, complete diet for juvenile yellow perch by ...
Behavioral and physiological phenotype of the viable yellow mouse (AVY/a)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Epigenetics is the study of how heritable phenotypes are transmitted without changes being made to the DNA sequence. One of the best characterized animal models for epigenetics is the viable yellow (Avy) mouse. These animals ...
Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on tissue lipid composition and bone remodeling in an ovariectomized aged rat model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Dietary fat is known to alter certain characteristics of bone metabolism in rats. CLA has been shown to decrease arachidonic acid and PGE2, thus ...
GGTA-1 targeting efficiency with a xenograft transgene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Gene targeting by homologous recombination was utilized to target the GGTA-1 locus. Two independent enrichment strategies were evaluated to determine if targeting efficiencies at the GGTA-1 locus could be improved. The ...
Quality characteristics of ground round formulated with three fat sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
This research was performed to determine if changing the source of fat for inclusion in ground beef from the round will cause a change in the number of days that the ground beef has a viable shelf-life as influenced by ...
Feedlot cattle response to rumen undegradable protein and diet fiber level of high concentrate diets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Studies were conducted to determine the effects of feeding rumen undegradable protein (RUP) on subsequent feedlot cattle performance. The first experiment was conducted to determine if growth rate and gain to feed ratio ...
Effects of the use of assisted reproduction and high caloric diet consumption on body weight and cardiovascular health of juvenile mouse offspring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Maternal obesity and the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are two suboptimal developmental environments that can lead to offspring obesity and cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that these environments ...
Determining pork fat quality of pigs fed 20% DGS as measured by three methods with a standard industry marketing strategy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Fat quality is important in meat products as it can influence further processing characteristics and pork export potential. The use of non-traditional fat sources such as dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS) changes ...
Effects of reduced protein and diet complexity on performance and cost of nursery pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Two 35-d experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of reducing crude protein by 2.5% and diet complexity with amino acid supplementation on performance and feed cost during the nursery phase. In Exp. 1 and 2, ...
Comparison of long-term CIDR-based protocols to synchronize estrus and ovulation prior to fixed-time artificial insemination in postpartum beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This experiment compared two long-term CIDR-based protocols to synchronize estrus and ovulation prior to fixed-time AI (FTAI) in postpartum beef cows. Cows assigned to the 14-19 d CIDR-PG protocol (n = 196) received CIDR ...
