The beef industry seeks sustainability through improved feed efficiency, yet the interaction between residual feed intake (RFI) and weather resilience in grazing beef heifers remains underexplored. This thesis evaluated rumen temperature (RT), blood parameters, growth performance, and activity...

Spring triticale is being evaluated as a platform crop for bio-industrial products on the Canadian prairies and may require genetic modification (GM). Seed lost at harvest may persist and result in volunteer GM triticale populations in following crops that could impact co-existence with...

Background: Diabetes and chronic kidney disease are two leading public health concerns. Patients with both diabetes and chronic kidney disease may be at elevated risk for suboptimal nutrient status due to diet restrictions, electrolyte and fluid imbalance, and altered metabolism. Objectives: The...

Vitamin D Supplementation and Bone Health in Adults with Diabetic Nephropathy: Preliminary Findings from a Randomized Controlled Trial
DownloadFall 2013
Vitamin D (vitD) is a nutrient of concern in Canada particularly for those with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participants (18-80y) with diabetes and CKD were randomized to receive either 50mcg/day (n=33) or 1,000mcg/month (n=30) vitD3 for 6-months. Variables studied included:...

Vitamin D Status and Markers of Cardiometabolic and Liver Disease Risk in Childhood Obesity
DownloadSpring 2017
Vitamin D insufficiency is highly prevalent in children (up to 40%), particularly in northern climates such as Alberta, due to reduced sunlight exposure and low intake. Although suboptimal vitamin D status and metabolic dysregulation are commonly observed in obesity, little is known about the...

Vitamin D Status and Health-care Outcomes in an Ambulatory Population of Patients with Diabetes and Chronic Kidney disease: A Five-year Follow-up.
DownloadSpring 2018
Vitamin D (VitD) deficiency is a prevalent condition in Canada, especially in northern latitudes where sunlight exposure is limited. Elderly patients especially those with chronic conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) have a higher risk of developing vitD...

Tan spot is a destructive foliar disease of wheat caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr). Eight races (race 1 to race 8) of Ptr have been identified globally, based on their ability to produce different combinations of three necrotrophic effectors (NE): Ptr ToxA, Ptr ToxB, and...

Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is one of the most important diseases of canola (Brassica napus L.) in western Canada. While the disease is managed most effectively by planting clubroot resistant (CR) canola cultivars, genetic resistance has been overcome in more than 200...
