Effects of dietary starch on ovarian physiology, intra-follicular milieu of the preovulatory follicle, and plasma metabolites in postpartum dairy cows
DownloadFall 2011
Effects of dietary starch content on ovarian dynamics in lactating dairy cows and intrafollicular milieu of preovulatory follicles were studied. Diets containing two levels of starch (29.2% and 19.1%) were fed until 84 d post-calving. Diets had no effect on the interval from calving-to-ovulation,...

Role of starch chemistry in the kinetics of nutrient absorption, endocrine profile, and intestinal health in swine
DownloadFall 2011
Starch is a major source of energy for monogastric species. Although starch digestibility is understood, the role of starch chemistry on nutrient absorption, endocrine function and gut health is not. Therefore, the objective was to characterize the role of starches with a range in amylose content...

Spring 2013
The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of variation in starch morphology and molecular structure among starches isolated from triticale, wheat, corn and barley (normal, waxy, and high-amylose genotypes) on amylolysis. Native starch granules in their unfractionated and...

Spring 2014
Two studies examined the effects of 3 commercial cat diets varying in glycemic index (GI) based on ingredient composition and starch content (34.1, 29.5, and 23.6% NFE for high, medium, and low GI, respectively) on metabolizable energy (ME), indirect calorimetry and blood measurements. In Study...

The role of starch and fiber composition on nutrient flow, site and extent of nutrient digestion, and microbial profiles in pigs
DownloadSpring 2016
Starch is the main energy substrate for monogastrics, including swine. Physico- chemical properties of starch and the cereal grain matrix can change the kinetics of digestion. Objectives of this thesis were to enhance the understanding of how the physico-chemical properties of purified starch and...
