Application of intravaginal lactic acid bacteria to lower uterine infections and improve reproductive performance of postpartum dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2015
Transition dairy cows are susceptible to uterine infections due to the compromised immunity around calving and substantial bacterial contamination in the uterus immediately after calving. Cows with uterine infections are at higher odds of developing other periparturient diseases, resulting in...

Evaluating the Role of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide on Etiology and Pathogenesis of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies
DownloadFall 2014
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or otherwise known as prion diseases are a class of fatal neurodegenerative diseases related to irreversible brain damage. Presently, there is no effective treatment or preventive strategy for this disease because the etiology and biological...

Identification of biomarkers associated with the onset and progression of ketosis in transition dairy cows
DownloadFall 2016
Ketosis is a common metabolic disorder of transition dairy cows during the early lactation period. Cows with ketosis have lower milk yield and reproductive performance, greater risk of other periparturient diseases, and higher culling rate. Although ketosis has been extensively studied, not many...

Studying the effects of mouse prion protein on mice and rat colon antibacterial gene expression profiling
DownloadFall 2013
The objectives of this thesis research are: 1) to evaluate whether there is interspecies translocation of mouse recombinant prion protein (moPrP) through colon tissue of rats; 2) to investigate whether lipopoplysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli influences permeability of moPrP through the...
