This research evaluated the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) intended for in vivo application as direct-fed microbial (DFM) supplements in two experiments during feed processing (Exp. 1) and storage (Exp. 2) and ...

Influenza is a single stranded, negative-sense RNA virus with a segmented genome that can infect avian and mammalian species. Influenza viruses from the avian reservoir do not seem to replicate efficiently in humans upon ...

Several studies have demonstrated that supplementation of rumen-protected choline (RPC) improves milk production in the lactating dairy cow; however, there are an equal number of studies failing to observe production ...

This study investigated bold-shy personality in the budgerigar, <italic> Melopsittacus undulatus </italic>. Adult budgerigars (14 females, 9 males) fed either a control diet, or one supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid ...

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of dietary treatments on the fatty acid composition of striped bass (Marone saxatilis) blood, liver and ovary over the course of the gametogenic cycle. Striped bass ...

This study was designed to determine the effect of rumen degradable protein (RDP) and rumen undegradable protein (RUP) on urea-N recycling and microbial N flow. Eight mid-lactation Holstein cows were assigned to a repeated ...

Most avian influenza viruses do not replicate or transmit efficiently in mammals. The events that lead to interspecies transmission and host adaptation are unknown. Part one of this project set out to establish quail as ...

Insulin sensitivity (SI) in horses is affected by diet, exercise and obesity and has been implicated in metabolic disease. The objectives of this research were to assess the impact of BW gain on SI utilizing two diets ...

Animal agricultural production systems are a major source of nitrogen (N) which may contribute to potential environmental pollution and one way to reduce losses of N to the environment is through feeding protein closer to ...
