Enhancement of long-term CID R-based estrus synchronization protocols to optimize timed artificial insemination results for beef heifers and cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate alterations to long-term progestin-based estrus synchronization protocols that may result in enhanced pregnancy rates to timed artificial insemination (AI). In the first ... -
Evaluation of heat-processed sorghum, high-oleic and low-trypsin inhibitor soybean cultivars as alternatives for corn and conventional soybeans for broilers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Four 21-d experiments were conducted to compare soybean meal (SBM) from high oleic to parent soybean cultivars on growth performance, energy and ileal AA (IAA). Soybean meal was prepared by laboratory-scale mechanical ... -
An investigative study on neutron emissions from titanium- deuterium system under thermal shock
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The purpose of this study is to investigate the titanium-deuterium system under thermal shock, as a potential neutron source. The expected neutron emission is unique, i.e. it is monoenergetic with energy of 2.45 MeV, which ... -
Metabolic programming of a Warburg effect-like phenotype in donor fibroblasts prior to somatic cell nuclear transfer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Gene edited pigs serve as excellent models for biomedicine and agriculture. Currently, the most efficient way to make a reliably-edited transgenic animal is through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) also known as cloning. ... -
Molecular characterization of a congenital overgrowth syndrome induced by assisted reproduction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a congenital overgrowth condition with increased likelihood to develop childhood tumors. Children conceived with the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have an increased ... -
Ruminal degradation of protein and carbohydrate using a batch culture system, and response to roughage removal, rumen modifier inclusion and postruminal amino acid supply in feedlot cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Three main studies were conducted to characterize protein and carbohydrate ruminal degradation using a batch culture system, demonstrate and responses to roughage removal, rumen modifiers inclusion and postruminal amino ...
