Feeding pigs supplemental fat to increase caloric density is a common practice in the swine industry and can result in improved feed efficiency. However, high oleic soybean oil (HOSO), a relatively new feed ingredient, has not been extensively researched in pig diets. HOSO differs from conventional soybean oil in that it contains an increased propo...

The animal production industry is presented with the challenge to develop innovative methods to meet future environmental and economic needs. One of the ways through which global animal scientists could combat this onus is to broaden the scope of conventional feed ingredients, most importantly are those feed ingredients that could supply dietary en...

The captive white-tailed deer breeding industry has an estimated economic impact of $1.6 billion, annually. However, nutritional requirements for cervids are determined through previous research based on sheep and goats. The objective of this study was to develop a methodology for harvesting rumen fluid from cervids for in vitro fermentation to ana...

The CowManager (Agis, Harmelen, the Netherlands) ear sensor technology was developed for dairy cows in confinement and has recently been adopted for pastured beef cows. The sensors fit around the ‘840’ RFID button and houses a 3-dimensional accelerometer that registers movement of the cow’s ear. Each sensor stores up to 7 d of internal data at a ti...

Grazing of cool-season cover crops has been shown to be a viable tool in extending the grazing season while mitigating environmental risks associated with row crop farming systems. Grazing cover crops is not novel, but most information available on this practice focuses on soil health as opposed to forage production and animal performance. The obje...

The objective of this experiment was to determine if semen collected from prenatally stressed (PNS) Brahman bulls altered early embryonic development compared to control (CON) bulls. Prenatal stress was achieved by transporting Brahman dams for 2h on d60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 (±5d) of gestation. Semen collected from sexually mature male offspring ...

Rice bran (RICE) and flax (FLAX) oils contain omega-3 fatty acids with the potential to reduce post-exercise muscle damage. This study compared plasma essential fatty acid profiles, creatine kinase (CK) activity, and lactic acid (LA) concentrations in lightly worked young horses undergoing a 16 min incremental exercise test (IET; 16.1, 19.3, 22.5, ...

Horses experience a post-exercise inflammatory response to damaged tissues that is part of the mechanism of recovery and is indicated by heat and muscle soreness (MS). Further, old horses (OH) are at a greater risk of prolonged MS, lameness, and injury than are young horses (YH). Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare heat and MS of ...

The objective was to determine if restricting drinking water affects animal performance and hematological responses in cattle grazing high-moisture-content, fresh wheat pasture. Angus-cross steers (n = 10, 411 kg ± 24.5 kg) were randomly assigned to either 100% or 50% of baseline (d -7 to 0) water intake. The design of this experiment was a complet...

“Sustainable” and “regenerative,” are popular, if misunderstood, terms. Much of what the non-agricultural audience believes those terms represent have been the focus of agricultural research, extension and practice for decades. Agricultural producers are disconnected from food consumers in numerous ways, including a lack of communication and, there...
