Immunopathogenesis Of A Spectrum Of Inflammatory Lung Diseases Induced By Experimental Reovirus Infection, Stephen Clifford Bellum Jan 1998

Immunopathogenesis Of A Spectrum Of Inflammatory Lung Diseases Induced By Experimental Reovirus Infection, Stephen Clifford Bellum

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Inflammatory lung diseases cause a significant amount of morbidity and mortality. However, the mechanisms that control the initiation and resolution of pulmonary inflammatory responses have not been well-elucidated. Histopathological data suggests that the lung responds with a similar pattern of inflammation to diverse range of injurious stimuli. In order to investigate the immunopathogenesis of lung inflammation, a series of in vivo models of lung inflammation were generated in CBA/J and CD-I mice by respiratory reovirus 1/L infection. Using this approach, it was observed in CBA/J mice that a relatively low titer of reovirus 1/L induced a pattern of intraluminal fibrosis …

Calving Difficulty And Calf Response To Stress, Todd Cappel, Andrea Bueno, Edd Clemens Jan 1998

Calving Difficulty And Calf Response To Stress, Todd Cappel, Andrea Bueno, Edd Clemens

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Calving difficulty altered the stress-related capabilities of the calf, placing the newborn in a compromised situation. Calves derived by severe mechanical pull or cesarean section exhibited depressed short-term defensive capabilities, lower cortisol and elevated neutrophil values, necessary for fighting infectious organisms. Of equal concern: when compared to calves born with little or no parturition difficulty, the stressed calves failed to develop effective adaptive mechanisms, having lower thyroid activity and lymphocyte values of principle importance for long-term survival. Neither the heifer’s mothering ability nor her disposition tended to influence her calf’s stress indicators.

Effects Of Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone Antagonist On The Bovine Corpus Luteum, Debra T. Clopton, Jorge Quintal, Freddie Kojima, Karol Fike, Jim Kinder Jan 1998

Effects Of Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone Antagonist On The Bovine Corpus Luteum, Debra T. Clopton, Jorge Quintal, Freddie Kojima, Karol Fike, Jim Kinder

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The size and function of the corpus luteum were examined after administration of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone antagonist. Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone antagonist was administered to three animal groups starting: 1) 2 days before the preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge inducing ovulation; 2) at initiation of the preovulatory surge; and 3) 2 days after the preovulatory surge. Although size and function of the corpus luteum were suppressed in all treated groups, the greatest developmental suppression occurred when luteinizing hormone release was blocked 2 days before the preovulatory surge of LH inducing ovulation. Therefore, optimal pregnancy rates in cattle may depend on …

Observations On Acidosis Through Continual Feed Intake And Ruminal Ph Monitoring, Rob Cooper, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick Stock, Cal Parrott Jan 1998

Observations On Acidosis Through Continual Feed Intake And Ruminal Ph Monitoring, Rob Cooper, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick Stock, Cal Parrott

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

A system of continual data acquisition of feed intake and ruminal pH has been developed for studying subacute acidosis in finishing steers. Feed intake is monitored with feedbunks which are suspended from weigh cells. Ruminal pH is monitored with submersible pH electrodes suspended in the rumen. Numerous anecdotal observations of subacute acidosis have been made throughout the feeding periods of several steers, providing information unlikely to be recognized during a planned trial. Therefore, this model for studying subacute acidosis offers many unique opportunities for enhancing our understanding of the interactions between feed intake and acidosis.

Effects Of Feed Intake Variation On Acidosis And Performance Of Finishing Steers, Rob Cooper, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick Stock, Cal Parrott, Dan Herold Jan 1998

Effects Of Feed Intake Variation On Acidosis And Performance Of Finishing Steers, Rob Cooper, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Rick Stock, Cal Parrott, Dan Herold

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Four metabolism and two finishing trials were conducted to determine the effects of imposed feed intake variation on acidosis and performance of finishing steers. In metabolism trials, intake variation of 3 lb DM/day increased acidosis of limit-fed steers as measured by ruminal pH. However, when steers were fed at ad libitum levels of intake, intake variation of up to 4 lb DM/day did not increase acidosis. In finishing trials, imposed intake variation of 4 lb DM/day neither decreased daily gain nor feed efficiency of steers fed at ad libitum levels of intake.

Effect Of Winter Gain On Summer Rate Of Gain And Finishing Performance Of Yearling Steers, Dale Downs, Galen E. Erickson, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 1998

Effect Of Winter Gain On Summer Rate Of Gain And Finishing Performance Of Yearling Steers, Dale Downs, Galen E. Erickson, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The effect of winter rate of gain on subsequent grazing and finishing performance was evaluated using 80 medium- framed steers. During the winter period, steers were fed to achieve gains of approximately .7 (low gain; 40 head) or 1.7 lb/day (high gain; 40 head). Warm-season Sandhills range was grazed by 20 low-gain and 20 high-gain steers, while the other 40 grazed bromegrass pasture from May to September. Both low- and high-gain cattle grazing brome pasture gained slower than those grazing sandhills range. During summer grazing, low-gain cattle gained faster than high-gain cattle, but compensated for only 19.9% (sandhills) and 18.7% …

Evaluation Of 1996 Nrc For Protein And Phosphorus Requirements Of Finishing Cattle, Galen E. Erickson, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 1998

Evaluation Of 1996 Nrc For Protein And Phosphorus Requirements Of Finishing Cattle, Galen E. Erickson, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two trials were conducted to evaluate the 1996 Beef NRC computer model for protein and phosphorus requirements of feedlot cattle. The control ration was formulated for the same levels of crude protein (13.5%) and phosphorus (0.35%) in both trials; however, supplemental protein was from urea in Trial 1 and urea, feather meal and blood meal in Trial 2. The balanced ration was formulated utilizing the 1996 NRC. The balanced ration was changed to effectively meet the changing requirements for DIP, UIP and P. In Trial 1, gains and efficiencies were similar between treatments; however, DMI was lower with cattle fed …

Nutrient Balance Of Nitrogen, Organic Matter, Phosphorus And Sulfur In The Feedlot, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Daniel T. Walters, Gary Lesoing Jan 1998

Nutrient Balance Of Nitrogen, Organic Matter, Phosphorus And Sulfur In The Feedlot, Galen E. Erickson, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Daniel T. Walters, Gary Lesoing

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Ninety-six crossbred yearling steers (656 lb) were assigned to either control (CON) or balanced (BAL) treatments. Steers were fed for 135 days in 12 waste-management pens with runoff collection basins. Control diet consisted of a DRC, 7.5 % roughage finisher formulated for 13.5 % protein and 0.35 % phosphorus. Balanced diet was formulated using the 1996 NRC model to meet the animal’s protein (11.5%) and phosphorus (0.22%) requirements. Gains were unaffected and feed efficiency tended to improve by feeding the BAL diet. Nitrogen and P excretion were lower with BAL steers compared with CON steers. Consequently, the manure’s N:P ratio …

Phosphorus Requirement Of Finishing Yearlings, Galen E. Erickson, Mark Klemesrud, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 1998

Phosphorus Requirement Of Finishing Yearlings, Galen E. Erickson, Mark Klemesrud, Todd Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Sixty yearling crossbred steers (849 lb) were fed individually either 0.35 or 0.70 % of DM as Ca and 0.14, 0.19, 0.24, 0.29 or 0.34 % P. Ash content was determined on bones from the lower front legs and one rib from each carcass was used to determine breaking strength. Performance and bone characteristics were not affected by dietary P concentration or P intake. Steers fed the 0.70 % Ca diets had lower gains and poorer efficiencies when compared to those fed 0.35 % Ca. These results indicate the requirement for finishing yearlings is 0.14 % P or less and …

A Novel Estrous Synchronization Program For Beef Cattle Using Melengestrol Acetate, Karol Fike, Michael Wehrman, Brad Lindsey, Ellen G. M. Bergfeld, Eric Melvin, Jorge Quintal, Eraldo Zanella, Freddie Kojima, James Kinder Jan 1998

A Novel Estrous Synchronization Program For Beef Cattle Using Melengestrol Acetate, Karol Fike, Michael Wehrman, Brad Lindsey, Ellen G. M. Bergfeld, Eric Melvin, Jorge Quintal, Eraldo Zanella, Freddie Kojima, James Kinder

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Estrous synchronization rate and conception and pregnancy rates to AI were evaluated following three estrous synchronization protocols for beef cattle. During 1995 and 1996, heifers and cows (n = 379) received either: 1) melengestrol acetate (MGA) for 18 days plus an injection of progesterone and estradiol in oil 7 days before end of treatment; 2) MGA for 17 days; or 3) two injections of PGF2&#;&#;&#;10 days apart. The greatest pregnancy rates (number conceived/number treated) among both anestrous and estrual females were achieved following treatment with MGA and an injection of progesterone and estradiol.

Solvent-Extracted Germ Meal, Corn Bran And Steep Liquor Blends For Finishing Steers, Daniel Herold, Mark Klemesrud, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton, Rick Stock Jan 1998

Solvent-Extracted Germ Meal, Corn Bran And Steep Liquor Blends For Finishing Steers, Daniel Herold, Mark Klemesrud, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton, Rick Stock

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Three trials evaluated solvent-extracted germ meal for finishing ruminants. Dry corn bran and steep liquor/ distillers solubles were fed in combination with solvent-extracted germ meal to evaluate interactions of byproduct blends. Byproducts enhanced intake and gain relative to dry-rolled corn diets. Adding tallow to byproduct diets increased efficiency. Feeding solvent-extracted germ meal with steep liquor heightened performance, but the benefit diminished when steep liquor level reached 30% of dry matter. Including solvent-extracted germ meal with wet corn gluten feed influenced neither daily gain nor intake. Results show solvent-extracted germ meal, either alone or blended with steep liquor/distillers solubles and dry …

Prolonged Elevated Concentrations Of Estradiol Do Not Affect Conception Rates In Beef Cattle, Karol Fike, Michael Wehrman, Ellen G. M. Bergfeld, Freddie Kojima, James E. Kinder Jan 1998

Prolonged Elevated Concentrations Of Estradiol Do Not Affect Conception Rates In Beef Cattle, Karol Fike, Michael Wehrman, Ellen G. M. Bergfeld, Freddie Kojima, James E. Kinder

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Following treatments causing either prolonged elevated concentrations of estradiol associated with development of persistent follicles or inhibited elevated concentrations of estradiol and development of persistent follicles, conception rates were compared. Beef females received either four norgestomet implants for 9 days (day 0 = treatment initiation; n=59) or one norgestomet implant for 7 days and three additional norgestomet implants for 2 days (n=60). All implants were removed on day 9 followed by estrous detection and AI for 7 days. Treatment and day interacted to affect estradiol concentrations from day 0 to day 9 with elevated estradiol in females treated with one …

Dietary Calcium And Phosphorous: Relationship To Beef Tenderness And Carcass Maturity, Dana Hanson, Galen E. Erickson, Chris R. Calkins, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton, Mark Klemesrud Jan 1998

Dietary Calcium And Phosphorous: Relationship To Beef Tenderness And Carcass Maturity, Dana Hanson, Galen E. Erickson, Chris R. Calkins, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Todd Milton, Mark Klemesrud

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

The effect of dietary mineral status as related to carcass maturity or meat tenderness was studied. Finishing yearling steers were individually fed varying levels of calcium and phosphorous. Neither mineral was significantly related to overall carcass maturity scores or meat tenderness. When fed at the levels in this trial, it appears there are no adverse effects of dietary calcium and phosphorous on carcass or meat characteristics.

Dried Poultry Waste As A Protein Supplement For Cows Grazing Winter Forages, D. J. Jordon, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Don C. Adams, Jackie Johnson, Mark Klemesrud, James A. Gosey Jan 1998

Dried Poultry Waste As A Protein Supplement For Cows Grazing Winter Forages, D. J. Jordon, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Don C. Adams, Jackie Johnson, Mark Klemesrud, James A. Gosey

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Two trials conducted in 1996-1997 evaluated dried poultry waste relative to soybean meal for cows grazing winter forages. In Trial 1, cows grazing native Sandhills winter range received: 1) no supplement; 2) urea; 3) 22% dried poultry waste+urea; 4) soybean meal; 5) 22% dried poultry waste+soybean meal; or 6) 44% dried poultry waste. Cows receiving supplements gained more weight (P<.001) and maintained greater body condition (P<.001) than unsupplemented cows. Cows receiving urea gained less (P<.10) than cows receiving more natural protein, although body condition remained similar. In Trial 2, cows grazing cornstalks received supplements containing either soybean meal or dried poultry waste; however, gains were not different.

Evaluation Of Feather Meal For Calves Grazing Cornstalks, D. J. Jordon, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Mark Klemesrud Jan 1998

Evaluation Of Feather Meal For Calves Grazing Cornstalks, D. J. Jordon, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Mark Klemesrud

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Three years of cornstalk grazing trials were conducted from 1995-97 to determine the feeding value of a sunflower, feather and blood meal supplement compared to a traditional soybean meal supplement. Analysis revealed no year x treatment interaction in years 1 and 2, so data were pooled. Gains of calves receiving soybean meal (0.97 lb/day) were not significantly different from those consuming sunflower/ feather meal (0.83 lb/day). In year 3, protein sources were evaluated for undegradable intake protein before formulation. Gains were similar between soybean meal (0.19 lb/day) and sunflower/feather meal (0.16 lb/day). A supplement containing sunflower/ feather meal is an …

Feather Meal As A Source Of Sulfur Amino Acids For Growing Steers, Mark Klemesrud, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 1998

Feather Meal As A Source Of Sulfur Amino Acids For Growing Steers, Mark Klemesrud, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

One-hundred twenty individually fed steer calves were used to evaluate feather meal as a source of sulfur amino acids. Treatment proteins included a urea control and meat and bone meal (6.4% of dietary DM) plus 0, 1, or 2% feather meal with incremental levels of rumen protected methionine. Adding feather meal to meat and bone meal resulted in a linear increase in gain. Likewise, rumen-protected methionine also improved gain. These results indicate feather meal can provide a portion of the sulfur amino acids lacking in meat and bone meal. However, additional methionine may further improve performance.

Spring Versus Summer Calving For The Nebraska Sandhills: Production Characteristics, Greg Lardy, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Don C. Adams, Dick Clark, Jackie Johnson, Andy Applegarth Jan 1998

Spring Versus Summer Calving For The Nebraska Sandhills: Production Characteristics, Greg Lardy, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Don C. Adams, Dick Clark, Jackie Johnson, Andy Applegarth

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Effects of summer calving versus traditional spring calving were investigated over three years. Calving dates were: 1) March to April (beginning March 18) for spring calving and 2) mid-June to mid-August (beginning June 18) for summer calving. Spring-born calves were weaned in October, while summer-born calves were weaned in November or January. Summer calving cows were bred either on native range or subirrigated meadow. Birth weights were higher for summer-born calves, although weaning weights were lower. Pregnancy rates for spring-calving cows bred on native range were similar to summer-calving cows bred on subirrigated meadow or native range. Summer calving reduced …

Use Of The Nrc Model For Evaluating Nutrient Balances Of Grazing Beef Cattle, Greg Lardy, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Dennis R. Brink Jan 1998

Use Of The Nrc Model For Evaluating Nutrient Balances Of Grazing Beef Cattle, Greg Lardy, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, Dennis R. Brink

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Research conducted at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory evaluated the National Research Council Beef Cattle Nutrient Requirements Model. Equations describing seasonal variability in CP, IVOMD, escape protein and degradable intake protein of native Sandhills range and subirrigated meadow were developed. Estimates of TDN and protein degradability for feedstuffs commonly used by Nebraska cow-calf producers are given. The NRC Model generally predicted nutrient balances in agreement with research trials. Microbial efficiency is lower for less-digestible forages. The NRC model is useful for evaluating grazed diets when accurate estimates of protein degradability, digestibility and intake are available.

Escape Protein Supplementation And Weaning Effects On Calves Grazing Meadow Regrowth, Greg Lardy, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, June Ueckert, Richard T. Clark Jan 1998

Escape Protein Supplementation And Weaning Effects On Calves Grazing Meadow Regrowth, Greg Lardy, Don C. Adams, Terry J. Klopfenstein, June Ueckert, Richard T. Clark

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Forty spring-born calves grazing subirrigated meadow regrowth were assigned to two weaning and two supplementation treatments in the fall of 1995 and 1996. Weaning treatments were: 1) weaning September 1; or 2) nursing during the trial. Supplementation treatments were 1) no supplemental undegraded intake protein (escape protein); or 2) supplemental undegraded intake protein. No treatment interactions were detected indicating weaning and supplementation affects were independent. Nursing calves had higher weight gains (2.1 versus 1.3 lb/day) and lower forage intakes (5.2 versus 6.5 lb/day) than weaned calves. Supplemental undegraded intake protein increased weight gains of calves (1.94 versus 1.45 lb/day). We …

Use Of The Nrc Model For Predicting Nutrient Balances Of Finishing Cattle, Greg Lardy, Rob Mccoy, Drew Shain, Todd Milton, Dennis R. Brink, Terry J. Klopfenstein Jan 1998

Use Of The Nrc Model For Predicting Nutrient Balances Of Finishing Cattle, Greg Lardy, Rob Mccoy, Drew Shain, Todd Milton, Dennis R. Brink, Terry J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports

Trials conducted at the University of Nebraska’s Research Feedlot were used to validate the NRC Beef Cattle Nutrient Requirements Model. Guidelines were developed for nutrient values for feedstuffs commonly fed in Nebraska feedlots. Generally, the NRC model predicted DIP and MP balances which were in agreement with performance data. The NRC Model generally under-predicted feed intake. The NRC model correctly predicted DIP deficiencies in dry-rolled corn diets which did not contain supplemental degradable protein. The effective NDF level of wet corn gluten feed appears to be higher than that of dry-rolled corn. The NRC model is a useful tool for …
