Improving Forage Systems Viability for Beef Cow-Calf Pairs in the Southeast US
(2020-07-17)
Improvement of grazing and nutritional management strategies in warm-season perennial forage systems in the Southeast US can lead to more efficient and sustainable cattle operations. Extending the grazing season, improving ...
Investigating the role of inflammation on bovine oocyte health and development
(2020-08-07)
In this study we investigated the effects of inflammation resulting from LPS exposure on oocyte health, maturation and subsequent developmental competence. Inflammation caused by infection in cattle is known to have negative ...
Effect of Diet Complexity and Dietary Fish Peptide Supplementation on Weanling Pigs
(2020-07-08)
Young pigs are subjected to various stressors at weaning, and providing a highly palatable and digestible diet is, obviously, important in preventing or alleviating growth check soon after weaning and also optimizing growth ...
Shelf Life Validation of Marinated and Frozen Chicken Tenderloins
(2020-07-21)
It is immensely important for producers and restaurants to know the shelf life of a meat product. If a consumer eats a product that is rancid it could impact a restaurant’s reputation. The objective of this study is to ...
Cotton Byproduct Assessment for Improving Beef Cattle Feeding Recommendations
(2021-04-12)
Beef cattle producers in the southeastern US have access to byproducts from multiple industries, including the cotton ginning industry. These byproducts, specifically whole cottonseed and cotton gin trash, are subject to ...

A corn-soy diet is the gold standard for feeding pigs, however, such a diet may not be appropriate for weanling pigs. Weanling pigs are subjected to various stressors at weaning, and their digestive system is immature or ...
Evaluation of Warm-Season Annuals for Livestock Production
(2021-04-19)
Warm-season forages are high yielding and can have high nutritive value, providing producers with an ideal option during the months in which cool-season forages are not productive. Two, 2-year small plot studies were ...
Investigating the ability of traditional and molecular methods to differentiate between reproductive potentials in Bos taurus heifers
(2021-07-13)
Within the livestock industry, one of the main problems that a producer faces is infertility. Infertility in cattle can lead to an animal being removed from cow-calf operations earlier in their lifetime. Reproductive ...
Use of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria in Tall Fescue and Bermudagrass Forage Systems
(2021-07-12)
A 2-yr study was conducted evaluating plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as an alternative N source for ‘Russell’ bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and ‘KY 31’ tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) at two locations in ...
