The mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) is a common contaminant of swine feed which has been related to wide range reproductive anomalies in swine, such as pelvic organ prolapse, anestrous, and pseudopregnancy. New information needed understand how ZEN metabolites accumulate tissues. We conducted feeding study track the metabolite α-zearalenol (α-ZEL) liver Thirty pubertal gilts were randomly assigned one three treatments, with ten pigs each treatment group: (1) base solvent for 21 days, (2)...
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition characterized by displacement of the vagina from its normal anatomical position leading to symptoms such as incontinence, physical discomfort, and poor self-image. Conservative treatment has shown limited success surgical procedures, including use mesh, often lead severe complications. To improve current methods for prolapse, viscoelastic properties vaginal tissue need be characterized. We determined biaxial stress relaxation response isolated...
The contamination of brewers’ spent grains (BSG) with mycotoxins may pose a significant threat to the health domestic animals that consume BSG as feed. New information is needed regarding presence throughout commercial beer and production. Samples (n = 106) were collected during production single batch beer, including malt 54), mash 6), wort fermentation, 14), 3), 23) analyzed for deoxynivalenol (DON), 3-acetyldeoxnivalenol (3ADON), 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15ADON), zearalenone (ZEN) using...
Consumption of zearalenone (ZEN) detrimentally affects tissues and systems throughout the body, these deleterious effects are especially pronounced in swine. The objectives this project were to determine short-term consumption ZEN (at concentrations that could be found on-farm) on growth, carcass weight, liver reproductive pubertal gilts, if transient or persistent. Cross-bred gilts (107.25 ± 2.69 kg) randomly assigned one three feed treatments: 1) solvent only for 21 d (CON; n = 10), 2) 7...
