Trans-11 Vaccenic Acid Favourably Remodels Whole Body Energy and Endocannabinoid Metabolism During Conditions of Dyslipidemia
DownloadFall 2013
Introduction: Trans 11-18:1 (vaccenic acid, VA) is the predominant ruminant-derived trans fatty acid (TFA) in the food chain and is also the precursor to endogenous synthesis of cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Literature documents numerous health benefits associated with CLA,...

Trained panel sensory evaluation of m. longissimus thoracis, m. gluteus medius and m. semimembranosus from Angus crossbred steers: the influence of hormonal growth promotants, ractopamine hydrochloride, and selection for high or low residual feed intake.
DownloadFall 2019
Selection of cattle for residual feed intake (RFI) does not affect rate of weight gain; rather, low RFI cattle consume less feed than high RFI animals to attain a similar final body weight and are thus considered feed efficient. Reducing production costs by selecting low RFI cattle and...

Towards the microbial production of a switchable solvent by using the enzyme indoleamine N-methyltransferase
DownloadSpring 2016
Switchable solvents are a novel class of chemicals that are characterized with the ability to reversibly switch specific properties with the addition/removal of a trigger. For instance, a solution of low ionic strength can become one of high ionic strength, and vice versa. Switchable solvents...

Pea root rot is one of the major diseases of field pea (Pisum sativum) in the Canadian prairies. Field avoidance is one possible approach for reducing yield loss caused by root rot. Current research aimed to investigate the possibility of developing a model to predict root rot. Surveys were...

Spring 2014
There are increasing social and economic pressures to develop renewable alternatives to fossil derived fuels and chemicals as well as renewable and biodegradable industrial and consumer products and materials. This has led to renewed focus on converting agricultural and forestry feedstocks...

Fall 2020
Leaf spot diseases and, to a lesser extent, fusarium head blight (FHB), are a serious threat to wheat production in Alberta. To manage leaf spots, some growers apply fungicides tank-mixed with herbicides or plant growth regulators (PGR) at early growth stages. These practices, however, conflict...

The Use of Infrared Thermography and Behavioural Biometrics for Estrus Detection in Dairy Cattle
DownloadFall 2021
Current Canadian estrus detection rates (< 40%) need to increase to reach optimal reproduction management and economic dairy production sustainability. Therefore, the general objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the use of infrared thermography (IRT) and behaviour biometrics as an estrus...

The use of crude cell extracts of lactic acid bacteria optimized for beta-galactosidase activity to form galactooligosaccharides with lactose, mannose, fucose, and N-acetylglucosamine
DownloadFall 2009
Several lactic acid bacteria contain β-galactosidases. Beta galactosidases catalyze lactose hydrolysis and transfer acceptor sugars onto galactose, producing galactooligosaccharides. The aim of this work was to exploit β-galactosidases of lactic acid bacteria as crude cell extracts to produce...
