The effects of intermittent suckling protocols on reproductive performance in primiparous sows
DownloadFall 2017
In pig production, sow reproductive efficiency is a key contributor to breeding herd productivity. A major challenge in the implementation of alternative sow housing and piglet management systems is the maintenance of production efficiency. Conventionally, sows are only bred once they come into...

The mechanism of endothelial cell specific gene expression of Von Willebrand Factor in vivo
DownloadSpring 2010
In vivo analyses of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) promoter previously demonstrated that a fragment spanning sequences -487 to +247 targets promoter activation to brain vascular endothelial cells. This fragment is active in all embryonic vessels of transgenic mice but in adult mice its activity...

The role of starch and fiber composition on nutrient flow, site and extent of nutrient digestion, and microbial profiles in pigs
DownloadSpring 2016
Starch is the main energy substrate for monogastrics, including swine. Physico- chemical properties of starch and the cereal grain matrix can change the kinetics of digestion. Objectives of this thesis were to enhance the understanding of how the physico-chemical properties of purified starch and...

The role of water channel proteins in facilitating recovery of leaf hydraulic concutance from water stress in Populus trichocarpa
Download2014
Gas exchange is constrained by the whole-plant hydraulic conductance (Kplant). Leaves account for an important fraction of Kplant and may therefore represent a major determinant of plant productivity. Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) decreases with increasing water stress, which is due to xylem...

Asphyxia is a significant cause of newborn morbidity and mortality. Multiorgan injury and dysfunction is a common finding, mediated in part through an increase in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. We hypothesized administration of doxycycline, a known MMP inhibitor, would improve systemic...

Fall 2016
Recombination between co-infecting poxviruses provides an important mechanism for generating genetic diversity in the face of selection pressures. However, poxviruses replicate in membrane-bound enclosed cytoplasmic structures known as factories or virosomes that could impede DNA mixing between...

Transcriptome profiling of the small intestinal epithelium in germfree versus conventional piglets
Download2007
Beever, Jonathan E., Band, Mark R., Marini, Juan C., Schook, Lawrence B., Chowdhury, Shankar R., Rund, Laurie A., Willing, Benjamin P., Gaskins, H. Rex, King, Dale E., Loor, Juan J., Lane, Adrienne B., Van Kessel, Andrew G.
Background To gain insight into host-microbe interactions in a piglet model, a functional genomics approach was used to address the working hypothesis that transcriptionally regulated genes associated with promoting epithelial barrier function are activated as a defensive response to the...

Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of the lung of influenza-infected pigs: A comparison of different birth weight and Susceptibility groups
Download2015-09-22
Harding, John C.S., Foxcroft, George R., Gunvaldsen, Rayna E., Dyck, Michael K., Plastow, Graham S., Detmer, Susan E., Wilkinson, Jamie M., Dixon, Walter T.
Influenza viruses are a common cause of respiratory disease in swine. Infections range in severity from asymptomatic to causing significant morbidity. The main objective of this study was to compare lung transcriptomic and epigenetic responses to influenza infection in pigs from high or low birth...
