Genetics of feed intake and efficiency in grazing dairy cows : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science [PDF]

, 2017
Feed efficiency in dairy cows is widely acknowledged as a highly desirable characteristic to improve because of its well-documented impact on production costs.

Blood parameters associated with residual feed intake in beef heifers

BMC Research Notes, 2023
AbstractBlood chemistry may provide indicators to greater feed efficient cattle. As a side objective to previous research, 17 Angus heifers approximately two years old underwent a feed efficiency trial to determine residual feed intake (RFI) and identify variation in blood chemistry in beef cattle divergent in feed efficiency.

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Erythropoietin modulates hepatic inflammation, glucose homeostasis, and soluble epoxide hydrolase and epoxides in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...

Differential expression of uncoupling protein gene in feed efficient cattle

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Uncoupling proteins (UCP) are carrier proteins that release protons during respiration dissipitating energy in the form of heat. Expression of these genes plays an important role in feed efficiency through regulation of energy balance.

Relationships Between Income Minus Feed Cost and Residual Feed Consumption in Laying Hens [PDF]

, 2017
Residual feed consumption in laying hens is defined as the difference between observed feed intake and intake estimated from body weight, egg mass produced, and body weight change. Genetic and phenotypic relationships between residual feed consumption in

Effect of dried leaves of Leucaena leucocephala on rumen fermentation, rumen microbial population, and enteric methane production in crossbred heifers [PDF]

, 2020
The effects of dietary inclusion of dried Leucaena leucocephala leaves (DLL) on nutrient digestibility, fermentation parameters, microbial rumen population, and production of enteric methane (CH4) in crossbred heifers were evaluated.

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

Relationship between feed efficiency and resilience in dairy ewes subjected to acute underfeeding

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Selection of dairy sheep based on production levels has caused a loss of rusticity, which might compromise their future resilience to nutritional challenges.

Evidence of residual feed intake reranking in crossbred replacement heifers [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2012
The objective of the study was to examine whether residual feed intake (RFI) reranking exists between 2 consecutive periods in replacement heifers fed the same diet. The study collected feed intake and BW data from 190 crossbred heifers over a 3-yr period (61 in 2007, 68 in 2008, and 61 in 2009) during the winter-spring season.
