Effect of Laying Hen Housing Environment and Genetic Strain on Meat Quality and Skeletal Muscle Physicochemical Properties
DownloadFall 2016
Skeletal muscle is an adaptable, multi-faceted tissue that is essential for whole body movement and metabolism. When a production animal is slaughtered, its muscle goes through complex physical and biochemical changes including a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism resulting in the...

Effects of Root Zone pH, Calcium and Phosphorus Supply on Selected Boreal Forest Plant Species
DownloadSpring 2015
Soil pH is among the major environmental factors affecting plant growth. In the reclaimed areas following open-pit oil sands mining in northeastern Alberta, Canada, the pH of reclaimed soil is commonly higher than 8.0. The optimum range of soil pH for growth and the tolerance of pH extremes...

Effects of dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol on growth, production performance, eggshell quality and bone traits of brown egg layers housed under commercial conditions
DownloadFall 2017
The effects of dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25OHD) on growth, production performance, eggshell quality and bone characteristics of laying hens were evaluated in a field trial in Colombia. At day 1 of age, a total of 17,750 Hy-Line Brown pullets were placed on a commercial farm, in 3 houses...

Effects of dietary phosphorus and calcium levels and phytase supplementation on bone metabolism of egg-laying hens
DownloadFall 2018
The importance of this Ph.D. thesis work is to assess the effects of dietary available phosphorus (avP) and calcium (Ca) levels and phytase supplementation in egg-laying hens and broilers. Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of marginal, moderate, and severe reduction in dietary avP...

Effects of phytase in laying hen diets reduced in available phosphorus and calcium on productivity, eggshell quality, and bone mineralization of white egg layers
DownloadSpring 2021
Phosphorus and Ca are essential for maintaining egg production and bone health of laying hens. The effects of marginal or moderate reductions in available P (aP) and Ca in layer diets, with or without phytase supplementation on performance, egg production, apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and...

Fish Assemblages in Subarctic Lakes: Does Fire Affect Fish–Environment Relations in Northern Alberta?
Download2004
Tonn, W. M., Scrimgeour, G. J., Paszkowski, C. A., Aku, P. K. M., Boss, S. M.
In 1995, a wildfire swept through a large area of the Caribou Mountains, a remote subarctic plateau of northern Alberta, Canada, containing numerous unstudied and unexploited small lakes. To assess near-term effects of fire and to establish information on assemblage–environment relations in this...

Interannual variability in trophic status of shallow lakes on the boreal Plain: Is there a climate signal?
Download2008
Devito, K.J., Bayley, S.E., Creed, I.F., Sass, G.Z.
We explored relations between climate and trophic status of shallow lakes (lake area > 5 ha, mean depth < 3.2 m) located on the subhumid western Boreal Plain of Canada. Correlation and regression analyses were used to assess the association between indicators of climate and satellite-based...

Natural disturbances and fish: Local and regional influences on winterkill of fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, in boreal lakes
Download2003
We investigated the population dynamics of fathead minnow Pimephales promelas and the environmental factors of four small lakes in the boreal forest of Alberta, Canada, for 5 years to determine the influence of local and regional factors on the development of hypoxia and the occurrence of fish...
