Characterization Of Fiber Intake, The Gut-Brain-Axis, And Glycemic Control In Nh Bhutanese Refugees, Brandy Moser
Master's Theses and Capstones
The gut microbiome has a significant influence on chronic diseases, potentially through mediating inflammation and the gut-brain axis, yet underlying pathways remain unclear. Microbiomes are highly variable and can be influenced by a variety of lifestyle and environmental factors, like diet and medication use. The study of both the composition and function of the gut microbiome is warranted, yet many gaps remain particularly in our knowledge about the gut microbiome function in the context of chronic diseases. Refugee groups in the US, such as the Bhutanese refugee population in New Hampshire, are at higher risk for chronic diseases but underrepresented …

Nutritive Comparison Of Ruminant Feed, Integrating Crab And Lobster Meal, Kelsi L. Devolve
Honors Theses and Capstones
In attempts to increase livestock production and decrease waste products from the seafood industry, crab meal and lobster meal were tested as a potential cattle feed ingredient. Jonah crab waste, Atlantic Red crab waste, soybean meal, and blood meal were collected from various vendors and utilized in an in vitro study, an in situ study, and a nitrogen analyzer to determine crude protein in each feed. After allowing the samples to sit in a DAISY incubator for 48 h, mimicking a rumen environment, degradability for the soybean meal, blood meal, lobster meal, and crab meal were 100.13%, 76.36%, 43.77%, and …
