SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
The short-term objective of this study is to discover genes associated with water restriction expressed in the renal cortex and hypothalamus in beef calves. The long-term goal is to understand genes and pathways important for thirst response in cattle. This knowledge may lead to discovery of genetic variants associated with water intake. Identification of animals with genetic potential to grow and thrive under drought conditions would be an asset to beef producers and communities which rely on beef production for a large part of their livelihoods. Both selected tissue types are known to be involved in response to hypertonicity (e.g., …

Heavy Winter Patch Grazing As An Alternative To Prescribed Burning On The Northern Great Plains, Jameson R. Brennan, Patricia Johnson, Ken Olson, Jennifer Lutze
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Among management systems intended to increase heterogeneity on the landscape, patch burn grazing (PBG) is by far the most prominent and researched method. Though prescribed burning is seen as a healthy disturbance in grassland ecosystems, many landowners in the Northern Great Plains have an aversion to fire. This is due to safety and liability concerns as well as concerns over forage losses and limitations of labor, equipment, and insurance to successfully carry out prescribed burns. Therefore, there is a critical need to evaluate alternative, non-fire management strategies that will encourage rangeland heterogeneity. A study was conducted in 2017-2018 at the …

Epperson, Saulo Menegatti Zoca, Stephanie D. Perkins, Russell F. Daly, Robert A. Cushman, George A. Perry
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Increased estradiol is the primary signal to initiate standing estrus, and cows that exhibit estrus prior to fixed-time artificial insemination have greater pregnancy rates than cows that do not. Therefore, understanding what factors may be present at the ovary that may regulate estradiol production is critical. A previous study reported that bovine follicles with greater follicular fluid concentrations of estradiol had decreased expression of GnRH-I and GnRH-II in granulosa cells (GC). The objective of this study was to characterize relative abundance of GnRH-I and -II mRNA within GC of follicles at specific stages of development. Beef cows were synchronized, and …
