Effects of Delayed and Extended Colostrum Feeding Strategies on Small Intestinal Growth in Neonatal Holstein Bull Calves
DownloadFall 2018
Enhancing passive transfer of immunoglobulins (Ig) in calves has been the main focus of colostrum feeding in the dairy industry. Currently, it is not yet clear how the timing and extended duration of colostrum feeding impacts neonatal calf intestinal development. The aim of Study 1 was to...

Effects of heat-treatment of colostrum on the development of calves in the neonatal and pre-weaned periods
DownloadFall 2014
Calves are born agammaglobulinemic and must ingest vital immunoglobulins via colostrum for protection from infection during the neonatal period. Colostrum also contains many other biologically active factors, such as growth factors, immune cells and antimicrobial peptides, which are important for...

High fructose intake during pregnancy adversely affects insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and affects placental gene expression of nutrient transporters and angiogenesis in rat dams and their pregnant offspring
DownloadSpring 2017
Fructose intake has increased over the past several decades due to high consumption of sugary foods and drinks. In non-pregnant humans and animals, high fructose intake results in hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and weight gain, although its effects on metabolic adaptations to pregnancy and on...

Spring 2016
Maintenance of the gut health of calves is vital because enteric infections are associated with high mortality during the pre-weaned period. The small intestine is the primary site of many enteric infections and plays an important role in protecting the host from pathogenic infection through both...

Understanding the role of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on postpartum reproductive function and embryo development in dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2016
The objectives of this work were to investigate the influence of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on feed intake, calf birth weight, maternal and neonatal fatty acid profiles, milk production, postpartum reproductive function, early embryonic development and its transcriptome profile in...
