COMPARISON OF CHEESE, YOGURT, AND MILK EFFECTS ON GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS AND LIVER LIPID ACCUMULATION IN MICE FED HIGH-FAT DIET
DownloadSpring 2022
Abstract Background: Many human observational studies show an inverse or neutral association between dairy consumption and the risk of diabetes. Our lab’s previous work suggests that both low and high-fat cheese consumption improves glucose homeostasis in insulin-resistant (IR), prediabetic rats....

This research examines Canadian consumer preferences for milk and yogurt products, both those currently available in the marketplace as well as hypothetical products. Self-reported consumption and choice experiments are used to determine consumer preferences for various attributes and how these...

Effect of Consuming Dairy Fats on Obesity-Related Cardiometabolic Perturbations and Immune Function in Low Birthweight Swine
DownloadSpring 2023
Although dairy intake has been shown to have a neutral or some beneficial effect on major cardiometabolic risk factors, the impact of dairy, and especially dairy fat, on immune function remains to be investigated. To understand the effect of consuming dairy fat on cardiometabolic risk factors and...

Effect of source and concentration of supplemental trace minerals on apparent absorption and retention, performance and physiological indicators of trace mineral status in lactating Holstein dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2020
Inorganic sources of trace minerals are commonly supplemented in dairy cow diets; however, there has been an increase in the supplementation of minerals complexed with organic compounds. Organic sources of trace minerals are thought to be protected from antagonistic interactions within the...

Effects of heat-treatment of colostrum on the development of calves in the neonatal and pre-weaned periods
DownloadFall 2014
Calves are born agammaglobulinemic and must ingest vital immunoglobulins via colostrum for protection from infection during the neonatal period. Colostrum also contains many other biologically active factors, such as growth factors, immune cells and antimicrobial peptides, which are important for...

The oil sands landscape in northern Alberta is interspersed with large tailings ponds that hold wastewater from bitumen mining and extraction processes. Recent monitoring results indicate that annually many thousands of birds, mostly migrating waterfowl, land on the ponds associated with this...

Evaluation of a pedometer system for prediction of estrus and parturition in dairy cows housed in a tie-stall barn
DownloadFall 2011
Physiological changes associated with estrus and parturition in dairy cows are manifested by changes in activity and behaviour. Accurate and timely detection of cows in estrus and those approaching parturition is very important. The research objective was to determine the efficiency of the...

Improving Accuracy of Genomic Prediction for Economically Important Traits in Canadian Holstein Dairy Cattle
DownloadSpring 2017
Milk is a valuable source of energy, high quality protein, and several key minerals and vitamins for humans. Selection for milk production in dairy cattle was first based on phenotype and pedigree information and the knowledge of genetic parameters for the trait of interest. However, substantial...

Fall 2023
The calving transition is a challenging period for dairy cows characterized by negative energy balance, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation, each of which may compromise milk production. Despite extensive research in this area, much is still unknown on how to best manage this period. The...

Fall 2013
This thesis research was aimed to develop a residual feed intake (RFI) prediction equation in dairy cattle while accounting for the animals’ multifunctional lactation non-linear energy requirements profiles. The possibility of shortening RFI test period and finding indicator traits for RFI...
