FDA-approved mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) clinical therapies have been elusive despite strong evidence of their applications in regenerative medicine due to their poten[...]

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant global health burden as it is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Children are particularly vulnerabl[...]

Beef producers in the U.S. face the Sisyphean challenge of producing more protein using less land requiring fewer of their limited resources. Improving cattle feed effici[...]

Disorders of body composition, specifically obesity and osteoporosis, have emerged in the last decade as major health concerns. The research was conducted to evaluate le[...]

A permanent effect and two random regression models were used to analyze insemination events. In all three cases, longitudinal threshold models were implemented. In the [...]

Experiments were conducted to determine the quantitative requirement of vitamin D3 for the maximum performance of broiler breeder hens and to relate the effects of the [...]

The impact of an immunostimulant, OmniGen-AF, on BRD vaccine response in Holstein heifers was tested. They were fed a standard diet (12 heifers) or also supplemented with[...]

Salmonella remains an important pathogen in recent years effecting both humans and animals. Poultry is the main source of Salmonella infection in humans. Many Salmonella [...]

Two experiments were conducted to improve nutrition in southeast beef cattle production systems. Experiment 1 examined the nutritive value and digestibility of Johnsongra[...]

Myostatin, a negative regulator of muscle cell growth, is highly conserved across species. The loss of functional Myostatin is known to cause the "double-muscled" phenoty[...]

One-hundred and five virgin Holstein heifers were sampled pre-breeding for circulating AMH concentration and transrectal ultrasonography was performed to determine AFC an[...]

The first study estimates variance components for heat stress (HS) for the first three lactations using test day models. Repeatability (MREP) and random regression (MRRM)[...]

Increasing evidence has implicated the incomplete or aberrant reprogramming of donor nuclei as a contributing factor to the observed inefficiencies and outcomes inherent[...]

The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method by Misztal and Rekaya (2007) in the case of binary expression of social dominanc[...]

The starch in waxy corn hybrids is 100% amylopectin which is more digestible than that of normal corn hybrids; the production response to feeding silage produced from the[...]

Anthelmintic resistance became one of the leading problems in parasite management. Cyathostomins, small strongyles, are the most widespread parasite observed in equine fe[...]

Beef cattle are raised in a wide range of environmental conditions in the United States. Producers use calving seasons to help match the cows nutritional needs throughout[...]

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental energy source and forage combination on performance, ruminal fermentation, and apparent nutrient digestib[...]

A series of research trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of botanical additives, bacterial inoculants, and dietary glycerol on high yielding dairy cows during h[...]

The objective of this study was to explore the genetic component of heat stress in U.S. Holsteins using national milk yield data consisting of 57 million first-parity tes[...]

The control of shiga toxin-producing E. coli is of major concern for non-intact beef products such as ground beef. As novel antimicrobials are developed to reduce these p[...]

This research was conducted to segregate Uruguayan beef carcasses by tenderness under commercial conditions and detect sources of its variation (age, sex, end points, chi[...]

The objective of these experiments was to determine if wheat could substitute for corn and if wheat could be used in combination with corn dried distillers grain with and[...]

In Experiment 1, 164 heifers were assigned to two treatment groups. Each received a CIDR insert for 7 days. Treatment 1 received prostaglandin (PGF2 ), 5 mg; i.m., on da[...]
