South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

A recently developed recombinant bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) virus containing the envelope protein gp53 of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 1, BHV-1 (v1V31), was assessed for its ability to protect against BVDV in calves. Four calves were vaccinated intranasally with the recombinant BHV-1-BVDV vaccine and did not exhibit any clinical signs following vaccination. The vaccine virus was recovered from all vaccinated calves on days 8 through 10 and the replication appeared to be restricted to nasal passages. Twenty-eight days after vaccination, the four vaccinated and four control calves were challenged with the type 1 BVDV, strain NY-1. All calves …

Effect Of Calving Time And Weaning Time On Cow And Calf Performace - A Preliminary Report, Dick Pruitt, Ron Haigh, William Epperson, Scott Fausti, Doug Young

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

Cows grazing native range pasture year round in western South Dakota were allotted to 3 management systems: 1) A calving season starting in mid March with calves weaned in late October; 2) A calving season starting in mid March with calves weaned in mid September; and 3) A calving season starting in early May with calves weaned in late October. The effect of management system on pregnancy rate was year dependent. After 4 years of the study, there was no consistent advantage for any particular group. Average weaning weight was consistently higher for the March calving/October weaned group that was …

Gene Family Encoding Hordeum Vulgare Translation Elongation Factor 1 Alpha (Ef-1a): Assignment Based On Bioinformatic Analysis Of Cdna Sequences, Jackson Moeller Jan 2003

Gene Family Encoding Hordeum Vulgare Translation Elongation Factor 1 Alpha (Ef-1a): Assignment Based On Bioinformatic Analysis Of Cdna Sequences, Jackson Moeller

The Journal of Undergraduate Research

Search of international DNA database, Genbank, produced eight barley cDNA EFlα sequences with unique accession numbers. The length of these sequences varied from an incomplete 502 bp to a full length 1646 bp encoding a 447 amino acid protein. The knowledge that there are four EF-lα gene family members in barley led us to query whether all four genes were represented in the group of eight database submitted sequences. Also of great importance was the correct assignment of gene family member to its mRNA and protein expression profiles. Before we could begin to address the expression studies, we undertook the …
