Effects of Ruminal Short-chain Fatty Acids and pH on Gastrointestinal Development of Dairy Calves
DownloadFall 2024
Paez Martins Narciso, Matheus Henrique
While the importance of pH and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) on rumen development in calves is well-known, their impact on the small and large intestines are unclear. This study investigated the effects of ruminal SCFA concentrations ([SCFA]) and pH on performance and hindgut fermentation and...

Quality of Life, Exercise Behaviour and Baseline Dietary Intake of Women Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in the DHA WIN Randomized Controlled Trial
DownloadSpring 2024
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Canada. It is estimated that one in eight Canadian women will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is often prescribed to improve surgical resection outcomes and reduce micrometastases. Achieving a pathological...
