Covalent histone modifications constitute a complex network of transcriptional regulation involved in diverse biological processes ranging from stem cell differentiation to immune response. The advent of modern sequencing ...

Reproductive success of the endangered whooping crane (Grus americana) maintained ex situ is suboptimal. The main goals of this multidisciplinary investigation are to advance the understanding of whooping crane reproduction ...

The metabolism of feline follicles has been largely overlooked in reproductive science. The primary objective of this study was to determine differences in metabolite profiles and glucose carbon fluxes in feline follicles ...

The objective was to determine the optimal dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) required to maximize 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM) and feed efficiency (FE; FCM per dry matter intake (DMI)) in lactating dairy cows. When ...

Mechanistic knowledge of urea-N partitioning has the potential to reveal targets that can be manipulated to improve protein efficiency of ruminants, and hence, reduce N excretion to the environment. The objective of this ...

Marek's disease (MD) is a highly contagious lymphomatous disease of chicken caused by Marek's disease virus (MDV). MDV has steadily evolved toward increased resistance and virulence over the past decades. A promising ...

The objective of this research was to determine metabolic adaptations and substrate utilization during chicken embryo development and to determine the influence of breeder age and egg size on embryonic growth and metabolism ...

Neural crest cells are a population of multi-potent progenitor cells in the developing vertebrate embryo that undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migrate extensively to generate diverse derivatives. ...

Several studies have attempted to determine the optimal freezing rate for the cryopreservation of striped bass spermatozoa. In this study, the effects of freezing rate (-10, -15, -20 and -40<super>o</super>C/min) on sperm ...
