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...

Effects of Atmospheric Cold Plasma Treatment on Canola Protein Structural and Functional Properties
DownloadSpring 2024
Canola meal contains a considerable concentration of protein after oil extraction, and it is a potential alternative to other plant proteins because of its functional properties and well-balanced amino acid composition. However, canola meal contains undesirable compounds such as phenolic...

Understanding how barn sanitation practices impact the chicken gut microbiome and the significance of variations in early life gut microbial community structure on microbial functionality
DownloadSpring 2023
Chemical disinfectants are widely used by Canadian broiler producers for barn sanitation, although little is known regarding their effects on chicken performance and the gut microbiome, which had been well recognized to have great importance to the host health. In this thesis, studies were...

The Investigation of Intestinal/Muscle Lipid Metabolism and Meat Quality in Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2023
Metabolic syndrome and obesity-related complications such as insulin resistance (IR), type II diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have remained a critical worldwide health issue. A previously published study by our group revealed that low birth weight (LBW) piglets exhibited IR and...

Evaluating perching biomechanics in commercial and random-bred strains of enriched-housed laying hens
DownloadFall 2023
Housing, including rearing environment and provided enrichments, impact the welfare of laying hens throughout their life. As the Canadian egg layer industry shifted away from conventional cages, an increase in keel bone damage (KBD) has raised welfare and economic concerns. Keel bone damage leads...

Extracellular enzyme activity, greenhouse gas emissions and soil microbial communities responses to drought and defoliation in northern temperate grasslands
DownloadFall 2023
Grassland ecosystems cover more than 40% of the global land area and provide many ecological goods and services, therefore, it is important to sustain these terrestrial ecosystems. One of the ecological services they provide is their potential to act as a carbon (C) sink. However, northern...

Feather Keratin Derived Sustainable Biosorbents for Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions from Water
DownloadSpring 2023
Water is the epicenter of sustainability and has an essential part of the existence and development of the ecosystem and socioeconomic pillars. However, one in every three humans does not have access to clean drinking water around the globe and heavy metal ions pollution is the major contributor....

Soil Microbial, Physical, and Chemical Response to Cattle Grazing Management in the Northern Great Plains
DownloadFall 2023
Globally, 25% of the terrestrial surface is covered by grasslands, 40% of which is used for grazing livestock and is estimated to hold 30% of global soil carbon. Native grasslands in the Canadian prairie cover 12 million hectares and are used extensively for grazing cattle. Livestock grazing...

Introgression of clubroot resistance from B. oleracea into B. napus and study the inheritance of the resistance
DownloadFall 2023
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most devastating threats to Brassica napus canola production worldwide. Growing clubroot-resistant cultivars is considered the most efficient way of managing this disease. All available clubroot-resistant canola cultivars carry...
