Chemical Repellents For Reducing Blackbird Damage On Mature Sunflowers: The Importance Of Plant Structure And Avian Behavior In Field Applications, Brandon Amberg Kaiser
Chemical Repellents For Reducing Blackbird Damage On Mature Sunflowers: The Importance Of Plant Structure And Avian Behavior In Field Applications, Brandon Amberg Kaiser
Environmental and Conservation Sciences
Across North America, blackbirds (Icteridae) depredate high-energy crops, such as sunflower (Helianthus annuus), placing an economic burden on producers. Chemically-defended crops, in the form of human-applied repellents, may induce birds to forage elsewhere if a learned aversion can be established. However, repellent deployment must be feasible for producers at the scale of commercial agriculture. Thus, my main objective was to evaluate the efficacy of anthraquinone-based repellents applied to ripening sunflower for reducing blackbird damage. I conducted concentration response (no-choice) and preference tests (two-choice) to evaluate repellent efficacy on captive blackbirds using application strategies practical for agricultural producers. I evaluated field …

Physiological Mechanisms Underpinning Growth And Aging In Wild Birds, Aubrey Erin Sirman
Physiological Mechanisms Underpinning Growth And Aging In Wild Birds, Aubrey Erin Sirman
Biological Sciences
Life-history trade-offs have been well-documented within the literature through correlational and experimental studies. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying these trade-offs are less understood. Currently, there is great interest in shared mechanisms, specifically endocrine mechanisms, that might underlie the variation in life-history traits. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) may be one shared mechanism that is particularly important. IGF-1 is a metabolic hormone that is part of a highly conserved insulin-signaling pathway known to influence multiple life-history traits including growth and longevity across taxa, however, little is known about these trade-offs outside of laboratory populations. This dissertation focuses on the role of IGF-1 …

Role Of Politically Linked Agricultural Policy And Trade On The Performance Of Turkish Agriculture, Ekrem Ergun
Agribusiness and Applied Economics
The Republic of Turkey has seen a rise in its gross domestic products (GDP), a fall in the share of agriculture percentage of GDP and a contributive role of politically connected development plans that introduce agricultural policies and trade as regional trade agreements (RTAs). It is necessary to gauge the contribution of policy and trade changes to the performance of the Turkish agriculture sector. The primary objective of this thesis is to estimate the performance of the Turkish agriculture sector between 1961 and 2016 using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of politically connected …
Maternal Nutrition, One-Carbon Metabolites, And Programming Of Fetal Development During Early Gestation, Matthew Scott Pennell Crouse
Maternal Nutrition, One-Carbon Metabolites, And Programming Of Fetal Development During Early Gestation, Matthew Scott Pennell Crouse
Animal Sciences
Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 14) were bred via AI, assigned to nutritional treatment (CON = 100% of requirements for 0.45 kg/d gain and RES = 60% of CON) and ovariohysterectomized on d 50 of gestation. Fetal liver, muscle from the hind limb, and cerebrum were analyzed by RNA-sequencing, and a total of 548, 317, and 151 genes, respectively (P < 0.01) were differentially expressed. Functional categories affected by nutritional treatment included: 1) Liver: metabolic pathways and nucleosome core, 2) Muscle: skeletal muscle and embryogenesis, and 3) Cerebrum: hippocampus and neurogenesis. Bovine embryonic fibroblast cells were cultured in Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium with 1 g/L glucose (LOW) or 4.5 g/L glucose (HIGH). Control medium contained basal concentrations of one-carbon metabolites (Choline, folate, vitamin B12, and methionine). One-carbon metabolites (OCM: methionine, choline, folate, vitamin B12) were supplemented to the media at 2.5, 5, and 10 times (2.5X, 5X, and 10X, respectively) the control media, except for methionine, which was limited to 2X. One-carbon metabolites increased (P < 0.01) basal respiration and Reserve Capacity in HIGH 2.5X and 10X compared with all other treatments. ATP-linked respiration was greater (P < 0.01) in HIGH OCM supplemented cells compared to Control and was greater in LOW 2.5X compared with LOW Control, 5X, and 10X cells. Total growth rate was greater (P < 0.01) for HIGH 2.5X and 10X compared with LOW Control, 2.5X, and 10X. At 24, 36, 48, and 72 h, cell proliferation in HIGH 10X was always greater (P ≤ 0.03) than Low 10X. Therefore, these data are interpreted to imply that a moderate maternal nutrient restriction during the first 50 d of gestation in beef heifers alters the transcript abundance of genes impacting tissue accretion, function, and metabolism suggesting potential alterations to fetal physiology which should be further investigated. Lastly, supplementation of OCM may improve fetal growth and program increased metabolic efficiency in the offspring, and thus should be a focus of future research into the effects of maternal nutrition on postnatal physiology.

The objective of this study was to determine how hot carcass weights affect temperature decline and pH decline of beef carcasses, as well as, tenderness, juiciness and color of beef steaks. Carcasses were selected based on hot carcass weight. Carcasses were separated into either light, medium or heavy weight groups and temperature and pH decline were measured for 24 hours. There were no differences in pH decline, fat thickness, KPH or marbling score, drip loss, cook loss or WBSF among hot carcass weight classes. Light and medium carcasses weight had smaller longissimus areas compared to heavy carcasses. Light weight carcasses …
Biological Abnormalities In The Ruminant Small Intestine And Its Relationship To Carbohydrate Assimilation, Ronald Trotta
Biological Abnormalities In The Ruminant Small Intestine And Its Relationship To Carbohydrate Assimilation, Ronald Trotta
Animal Sciences
Several biological abnormalities exist between the ruminant and nonruminant small intestine and influences carbohydrate assimilation. Two experiments were conducted to identify potential mechanisms to improve carbohydrate utilization in cattle. Experiment 1 evaluated the effects of duodenal starch infusions with casein or glutamic acid on post-ruminal carbohydrase activities. Experiment 2 evaluated the effects of dietary fructose on visceral organ development and expression of nutrient transporters and digestive enzymes involved in carbohydrate assimilation. In experiment 1, the results suggest that small intestinal starch digestion may be improved in cattle with increased small intestinal flow of casein through increases in post-ruminal carbohydrase activities. …
Effects Of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, And Twinning On Plasma Volume, Umbilical Hemodynamics And Placental Characteristics In The Pregnant Adolescent Ewe, Manuel Alexander Vasquez Hidalgo
Effects Of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, And Twinning On Plasma Volume, Umbilical Hemodynamics And Placental Characteristics In The Pregnant Adolescent Ewe, Manuel Alexander Vasquez Hidalgo
Animal Sciences
Reproductive physiology in production animals is a key economic component of longevity and profitability of animal farming. There are several components that can benefit or compromise adequate pregnancy periods. Sheep production is not only a very important economic activity for farmers around the United States, but sheep are also an important medical and surgical model to study human diseases. Our findings suggest that estradiol-17 beta could be involved in acute increased plasma volume early in gestation which can benefit overall gestation. We report that umbilical blood flow decreases upon nutrient restriction in adolescent ewes and does not recover upon realimentation. …
Perceptions Of Modern Meat-Animal Production From Consumers Two To Three Generations Removed From The Farm, Demetris Deon Reed
Perceptions Of Modern Meat-Animal Production From Consumers Two To Three Generations Removed From The Farm, Demetris Deon Reed
Animal Sciences
A consumer is defined as a person who purchases goods and services for personal use or a person or thing that eats or uses something (Merriam-Webster, 2019). Consumers either want or need to eat meat, whether it is for self-gratification or nutritive purposes. The modern consumer definition of “meat” has changed from the original hunter stalking prey to now contemporary livestock production practices that confine and feed sophisticated diets in an effort to achieve outstanding muscle-food quality. Those who produce and supply consumers with food and fiber must achieve a higher level of education in keeping with technological advances. Further, …
Can Hematocrit Levels At Estrus In Dairy Cows And Sheep Be An Indicator For Pregnancy Success?, Khaled Elaraby Kelany
Can Hematocrit Levels At Estrus In Dairy Cows And Sheep Be An Indicator For Pregnancy Success?, Khaled Elaraby Kelany
Animal Sciences
Despite the major reproductive advances in the livestock industry, prenatal embryonic loss is still one of the major issues that causes substantial economic loss. While there are many tests available to determine pregnancy soon after maternal recognition of pregnancy, most of the prenatal losses are undetectable because it occurs before then. Based on previous research we hypothesized that increased plasma volume around the time of estrus will increase the survivability of the embryo at early stages of gestation. However, our findings indicate that hematocrit levels are not a consistent measurement in determining successful pregnancies.
The Role Of Supplemental Beef Vs. Sugar During Pregnancy On Fetal And Offspring Developmental Programming In Swine, Ashley Sabine Hoyle
The Role Of Supplemental Beef Vs. Sugar During Pregnancy On Fetal And Offspring Developmental Programming In Swine, Ashley Sabine Hoyle
Animal Sciences
Sugar intake is linked to developmental programming of obesity and diabetes. We hypothesized that supplementing ground beef in place of sugar during pregnancy would reduce fetal and offspring developmental programming. Gestating sows were fed 1 of 4 isocaloric supplements: control, ground beef, granulated sugar, or beef plus sugar. In the fetal study supplements were fed from d 40 to 110 of gestation and in the offspring study from d 40 until weaning. Gene expression differences in fetal liver and muscle were observed for IGF2 (P = 0.04), FBPase (P = 0.03), and IGF2R (P = 0.02). Differences were also seen …
Fabrication And Characterization Of Antifungal Essential Oil-In-Water Nanoemulsion Delivery System Targeting Fusarium Graminearum In Vitro And During The Malting Process, Jing Wan
Cereal Science
Fusarium mycotoxins represent the most food safety concern for the malting industry. The complete prevention of Fusarium mycotoxins in the grains by limiting toxigenic fungi in the field and during storage is not practical. The common way to control Fusarium mycotoxins in malting industry is to avoid infected grains. However, avoidance is not always possible. To ensure the quality and safety of food products, development of food-grade antifungal strategies that can be applied in food processing, would benefit growers and the food industry. Recently, plant-based essential oils (EOs) have received considerable attentions in the food industry due to broad-spectrum of …

Influences On Fungal Community Composition In Roots And Soil Of Coffee And Other Rubiaceae In Costa Rica, Elizabeth Christine Sternhagen
Environmental and Conservation Sciences
Belowground fungi interact with plants directly as pathogens and mutualists, and indirectly as nutrient cyclers, yet the factors governing fungal community composition are poorly understood. Here I examined root and soil fungi of coffee (Coffea arabica) and eight native species in the coffee family to determine 1.) whether coffee management affects guild structure of fungal communities in coffee roots and 2.) relative importance of microclimate and plant host relatedness in structuring belowground fungal communities of coffee and forest Rubiaceae. Coffee management resulted in differences in the soil environment that were associated with the richness and abundance of several fungal guilds. …
The Effect Of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles On Plants, And On Host-Pathogen Interactions, Priyanka Deka
The Effect Of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles On Plants, And On Host-Pathogen Interactions, Priyanka Deka
Environmental and Conservation Sciences
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are a type of engineered nanomaterial that is currently being explored for use in different aspects of agriculture. So far, research on this area is limited to evaluating the phenotypical responses of plants to a high concentration of the NPs which is realistically not feasible in the actual environment. This research aims to investigate the molecular-level interactions between ZnO NPs and plants, together with another significant component of the environment, a fungal plant pathogen. Prior to studying these molecular-level interactions, the uptake of ZnO NPs in planta was validated using a fluorescent zinc ion sensor, …
Phenolic Bioactive-Linked Antioxidant, Anti-Hyperglycemic, And Anti-Hypertensive Properties Of Serviceberry And Blackberry, Austin Alexander Espe
Phenolic Bioactive-Linked Antioxidant, Anti-Hyperglycemic, And Anti-Hypertensive Properties Of Serviceberry And Blackberry, Austin Alexander Espe
Plant Sciences
Production and consumption of edible berries are increasing rapidly in the United States, mostly due to their superior flavor profile, and popular diet-related value with their human health relevant bioactives and nutritional benefits. However, bioactive and nutritional qualities, especially human health protective phenolic antioxidants and associated non-communicable chronic disease (NCD) relevant health benefits of berries vary widely among accessions/cultivars and due to different production practices (organic vs conventional). Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to screen and select high phenolic and high antioxidant serviceberry and blackberry accessions/cultivars and to investigate the effect of different weed management and fertilization (organic …
Cornus Mas L. Cultivar Selection Based On Hardiness And Propagation, Meredith Swanson
Cornus Mas L. Cultivar Selection Based On Hardiness And Propagation, Meredith Swanson
Plant Sciences
Cornus mas (Cornelian cherry) is a deciduous shrub/small tree native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. It is unique among the Cornaceae (dogwood) family in that the fruit is used for human consumption and is highly nutritious and contains high amounts of antioxidants and anthocyanins. While this plant has many desirable fruiting and ornamental characteristics, it has seen limited use in North America. Several of these desirable characteristics are low disease and pest incidence, fruit qualities, and early yet long-lasting flowers. With limited use in North America, hardiness speculations are based on only a few individual plants. In this document, …

Influence Of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) Seedling Grafting On Plant Growth, Fruit Yield And Quality, And Disease Tolerance, Suman Parajuli
Plant Sciences
Influence of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedling grafting on the plant growth, fruit yield and quality, and disease tolerance were investigated using 3 cultivars (Big Beef, Celebrity, Cannonball) as scions and two Solanum species (B-blocking, Maxifort) as a rootstock in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The grafted plants were statistically higher in values for stem diameter, leaf chlorophyll, and fruit carotenoid contents. Similarly, the scion/rootstock combination ‘Big Beef/Maxifort’ and ‘Big Beef/B-blocking’ had prolonged days to maturity and gives a higher yield than the non-grafted ‘Big Beef’. Grafting seedling on ‘Maxifort’ and ‘B-blocking’ rootstocks improves the fruit quality …
Hammer And Roller Milling Of Yellow Split Pea, Amber Christine Kaiser
Hammer And Roller Milling Of Yellow Split Pea, Amber Christine Kaiser
Plant Sciences
Blending nutrient-rich pulses into cereal-based convenience foods could benefit consumers and the cereal and pulse industries but first requires appropriate milling of raw pulses, for which there is no standardized method. Roller milling is the standard method for wheat flour production, but hammer milling is simpler and more cost-effective. Literature documenting pulse flour quality from either system is limited. The goals of this research were to evaluate (1) the effects of hammer mill setup and seed moisture on quality and flowability and (2) the differences between hammer- and roller-milled quality for yellow split pea. For (1), yellow split pea samples …

Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Effects On Properties Of Beta-Glucan From Oat Groats, Abdulrahman Alahmed
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Effects On Properties Of Beta-Glucan From Oat Groats, Abdulrahman Alahmed
Plant Sciences
Pre-harvest glyphosate is applied to cereal grains to remove weeds. However, it has been claimed that oat compositions are affected by pre-harvest glyphosate. Research was conducted to evaluate differences in properties of β-glucan in the treated versus untreated oat groats. Two oat cultivars (Rockford and Souris) were grown at Minot and Prosper, North Dakota in 2015, and glyphosate was sprayed during the soft dough stage, physiological maturity stage, or not applied. β-Glucan viscosity was not significantly (p > 0:05) affected by treatment at soft dough or physiological maturity stages. Use of glyphosate at the soft dough stage significantly (p < 0:05) reduced the percentages of β-glucan content and solubility versus untreated samples. Treatment at soft dough and physiological maturity stages significantly (p < 0:05) increased β-glucan molecular weights compared to untreated controls. Therefore, glyphosate can be applied at the physiologically mature stage of grain development because β glucan properties from the groats were not negatively affected.
Flavor Modification Of Pea Flour Using Ethanol-Based Deodorization, Madison Taylor Gohl
Flavor Modification Of Pea Flour Using Ethanol-Based Deodorization, Madison Taylor Gohl
Plant Sciences
Peas are rich in protein and dietary fiber and can be used to create specialty products; however, flavor issues are one of the primary concerns regarding utilization. Sensory evaluations indicated the optimal treatment utilized aqueous ethanol at a concentration of 47.5%, extraction time of 63 min, and no pressure. Decreased (P<0.05) moisture and ash content, with no loss of protein or starch, were observed after treatment. Foaming properties were poor, indicating protein modification. Increased water absorption impacted WAI, WSI, setback, and peak time observations. Remaining pasting profile values were unchanged (P<0.05). While some volatiles were released via changes in protein and starch structure, total ppm decreased. Treated pea flour products had significantly (P<0.05) higher flavor acceptance scores. Texture results suggested treated flour imparted softness of baked items. Shelf-life measurements were improved for both cookies and crackers using treated pea flour.

Diabetes Self-Management Education Service At A Rural Minnesota Health Clinic, Samantha Hulst
Diabetes Self-Management Education Service At A Rural Minnesota Health Clinic, Samantha Hulst
Nursing
In 2015, there were an estimated 30.3 million Americans living with diabetes, and 95% of them were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017b). Patients living in rural America have an increased prevalence of diabetes, and their participation rates in preventative care practice are lower (Rutledge, Masalovich, Blacher, & Saunders, 2017). The increased prevalence of the T2D in rural communities does not positively correlate with the number of diabetes self-management education (DSME) services in these areas, which poses a gap in healthcare services (Rutledge et al., 2017). Diabetes self-management education can be defined as …
