Effects of supplemental leucine and lysine on metabolic and inflammatory responses of neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in growing cattle
This study evaluated effects of postruminal leucine and lysine supplementation on hematological variables and ex vivo neutrophil and peripheral mononuclear cell (PBMC) responses in steers. Rumen-cannulated steers (n = 7; BW = 173 kg, 5 m...

Dam parity of origin is associated with lifetime productivity in first parity sows
Sow lifetime productivity is a key driver of productivity and sustainability in pig production systems. While primiparous sow progeny differs from those born to multiparous sows during early growth, less is known about whether dam parity...

Weather Resilience of Hays Converter Beef Heifers with Divergent Residual Feed Intake Across Different Environmental Conditions
This study examines whether efficiency of feed utilization affects heifer resilience in intensively fed Hays Converter beef heifers in Western Canada from 2019 to 2023. A total of 106 heifers were tested in five yearly contemporary group...

Changes in bovine follicular fluid cytokine profile associated with oocyte developmental competence
This work aimed to evaluate the cytokine profile of bovine follicular fluid (FF) enclosing oocytes with contrasting developmental competence (Experiment 1) to identify competence-associated biomarkers. The FF was collected from individua...

Modeling finishing pig growth performance and carcass response to dietary net energy using ingredient nutrient values from four different databases
Data from 91 grow-finish pig experiments with diets differing in net energy (NE) and other nutrients were used in a meta-analysis to model growth performance and carcass characteristics based on the diet's NE, crude protein (CP), standar...

Gestational heat stress alters maternal vaginal microbiome, plasma metabolic markers, and preweaning offspring performance in Bos indicus -influenced cow-calf pairs
This 3-year study evaluated the effects of gestational access to shade on maternal performance, vaginal microbiome composition, and offspring preweaning performance in beef cows. On day 0 of each year (92 ± 20 days prepartum), 176 multip...

An in-feed oral glucose test increases post-prandial high molecular weight adiponectin concentration in horses
Adiponectin is a fat-derived adipocytokine that has been associated with laminitis risk in ponies. Factors that affect sampling timing for measurement of adiponectin concentration have been inadequately investigated. This study aimed to ...

Effect of physically effective fiber on animal growth performance, carcass characteristics, digestibility, and rumination in finishing beef cattle
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of altering dietary peNDF concentration by modifying forage particle size on digestibility, rumination, and performance of finishing beef steers. Forty crossbred beef steers (i...

Postnatal development of bones and related hormonal factors in piglets
Piglets grow considerably in their first weeks of life. However, little information exists about the interplay of hormonal factors that orchestrate bone development. The present study aimed to investigate the development of hormonal fact...

Alterations in the liver phosphoproteome of finishing cattle with divergent dry matter intake
Variation in voluntary dry matter intake (DMI) is an important component of feed efficiency in finishing cattle; however, the molecular processes associated with individual variation in DMI remain poorly understood. The liver contributes...
