Applying effective energy concept for intake prediction and balancing ruminal nitrogen and post-ruminal amino acid requirements for beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Proper animal nutrition involves balancing nutrient supply to nutrient requirement. Accurate intake prediction is fundamental to diet formulation and appears simple but has historically been challenging to accomplish. ...
Use of simvastatin to inhibit advanced prostate cancer formation in the TRAMP mouse model of prostate cancer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A provocative question currently proposed by the NIH is: do statin medications, which lower serum cholesterol, prevent cancer? We hypothesize that ...
Essential oil effects on rumen fermentation, animal performance, and meat quality of beef steers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Efficiency in ruminants has historically been improved by using antibiotics and ionophores to alter rumen fermentation. Nutritionists, however, have begun searching for alternative rumen modifiers due to the negative ...
Effects of a commercial feed additive on production losses during acute heat stress conditions in mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Heat stress occurs when the environmental temperature exceeds the thermoneutral zone (or comfort zone) of the dairy cow, necessitating the employment of energetically costly cooling mechanisms such as sweating and panting. ...
Effect of endophyte-infected tall fescue on hepatic gene expression in cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Fescue toxicosis may result from the intake of ergot alkaloids found in endophyteinfected (E+) tall fescue. The liver if the major organ involved in ...
The effects of reduced protein diets using the Missouri ideal turkey protein on male turkeys from 0 to 21 weeks of age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Protein is one of the major cost components in turkey diets. When diets are formulated on an ideal protein basis, the levels of crude protein decrease with the use of amino acids (AA); performance is maintained and feed ...
Large offspring syndrome, a bovine model for the human loss-of-imprinting overgrowth syndrome Beckwith-Wiedemann
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a human loss-of-imprinting syndrome primarily characterized by macrosomia, macroglossia, and abdominal wall defects. BWS has been associated with misregulation of two clusters of imprinted ...
Characterization of a transgenic pig model carrying green fluorescent proteasomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) participates in many biological processes involving substrate-specific proteolysis, and can be linked to various pathologies and genetic diseases. Unfortunately, little is known about ...
