Fall 2024
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity worldwide has raised the alarm for urgently needed preventative strategies to counter the trend of increased risk associated with these conditions, including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD). Energy...

An Investigation of Colostral IgG in the Neonatal Bovine Intestine from Birth to “Gut Closure”
DownloadFall 2024
IgG absorption from colostrum is essential for transfer of passive immunity in the neonatal calf; despite best practices for colostrum feeding – administering 3L of a colostrum with >50 mg/mL IgG content within 6 hrs of life - some calves still have failure of transfer of passive immunity as...

Impact of protein, starch, and dietary fiber on functionality and protein matrix of faba bean and pea Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP)
DownloadSpring 2024
Low moisture extrusion is a complex scalable technology that uses heat, pressure and shear to texturize plant proteins into extrudates called texturized vegetable proteins (TVP) used in the development of meat analogue products. Increasing interest in meat analogues and the rise of new sources of...

Fusarium root rot of canola (Brassica napus): Occurrence, pathogenicity and yield losses in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2024
Root rot is a soilborne disease of canola (Brassica napus) caused by a pathogen complex. Canola crops were surveyed in Alberta, Canada, in 2021 and 2022 to assess the composition and diversity of fungi associated with root rot in this region. Isolates were identified to genus and/or species based...

Improving Verticillium longisporum inoculation protocols and quantifying canola yield losses
DownloadSpring 2024
Verticillium stripe, caused by Verticillium longisporum, is an emerging soilborne disease of the Canadian canola (Brassica napus) crop. This study aimed to refine techniques for inoculating the pathogen on canola and to quantify its impact on hybrid canola yield under greenhouse and field...

Spring 2024
Annual brome grasses are some of the most widespread and problematic weeds in North America and present a challenge in managing rangeland, with control options needed. The herbicide indaziflam has shown promise in long-term annual brome reduction on western U.S. rangeland, though how these...

Impact of carbohydrates and carnocyclin A on growth and gene expression of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadSpring 2024
L. monocytogenes is the foodborne pathogen that causes listeriosis, which has a high fatality rate of 20 to 30%. L. monocytogenes is often associated with ready-to-eat food products. Therefore, techniques to control growth of this organism are needed for the safety of these foods....

Understanding the wettability of different surfaces for the fractionation of complex lipid mixtures using supercritical carbon dioxide
DownloadSpring 2024
Santos Hernandez, Eileen Vanessa
Supercritical fluid fractionation of complex lipid mixtures has emerged as a green alternative for conventional methods. Packed columns have been used to fractionate diverse lipid mixtures using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) under different conditions. However, there is a lack of...

Investigation of Causal Mutations in Livestock and Companion Animals Using Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) and Bioinformatics
DownloadSpring 2024
In this thesis project, three studies were conducted, aimed at identifying the causal variants responsible for phenotypic/genotypic sex discordance in cattle, copper toxicosis in Dalmatian dogs, and low fertility/infertility in cattle. In all three studies, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and...
