Effect of high peroxide value fats on performance of broilers in normal and immune challenged states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)A series of trials were conducted in order to determine the effects of high peroxide value fats on performance of broilers in normal and immune challenged states from 0-49 days of age. In the first experiment, birds were ... -
Effects of heat stress on reproduction and productivity of primiparous sows and their piglets' performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Heat stress (HS) produces seasonal infertility in sows and decreases reproductive efficiency. Sows were exposed to HS during a production cycle (gestation [gest], lactation [lact], and breeding) to examine productivity. ... -
Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized ... -
Influence of diet, production traits, blood hormones and metabolites, and mitochondrial complex protein concentrations on residual feed intake in beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Residual feed intake (RFI) is the difference between measured feed intake and predicted feed intake of an animal. Intake prediction is computed from a regression of intake on gain and metabolic body weight. Residual feed ...
