The study evaluated the inclusion of protease in diet pigs final phase, analyzing its effects on residues used as organic fertilizer (OF) for corn silage cultivation. Conducted at Federal Institute Education, Science and Technology Goiano, Rio Verde Campus, experiment had three phases: use intensive pig production, production OF—pig slurry (PS), application did not affect weight pigs, with a mean 89.75 kg. PS from this system forage mass (23.64 Mg ha−1). On other hand, short term, without...
Cows experience a significant negative protein balance during the first 30 d of lactation. Given functional effects AA on health, especially in challenging periods such as calving, higher levels and specific diet may act to improve health feed intake. The response dairy cows 3 supplementation strategies transition period through 45 milk was evaluated. final data set had 39 Holstein blocked based parity (primiparous vs. multiparous) expected calving randomly assigned within each block one...
The objective of this study was to investigate changes in protein abundance mTOR and insulin signaling pathway components along with amino acid (AA) transporters bovine s.c. adipose (SAT) explants response increased supply Leu, Ile, or Val. Explants SAT from four lactating Holstein cows were incubated high-glucose serum-free DMEM, which the 10 essential AAs added create following treatments: ideal mix AA (IPAA; Lys:Met 2.9:1; Lys:Thr 1.8:1; Lys:His 2.38:1; Lys:Val 1.23:1; Lys:Ile 1.45:1;...
The objective was to perform a proof-of-principle study evaluate the effects of methionine (Met) and arginine (Arg) supply on protein abundance amino acid, insulin signaling, glutathione metabolism-related proteins in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) explants under ceramide (Ce) challenge. SAT from four lactating Holstein cows incubated with one following media: ideal profile acid as control (IPAA; Lys:Met 2.9:1, Lys:Arg 2:1), increased Met (incMet; 2.5:1), Arg (incArg; 1:1), or incMet plus...
Dairy cows subjected to heat stress can benefit from fat supplementation. We evaluated the response of lactating supplementation a basal diet containing whole cottonseed and roasted soybeans [3.2% DM as ether extract (EE) oilseeds] with 2 palm oil sources (1.1% EE supplements). Thirty were fed standard for 14 d assigned treatment 63 d, in covariate adjusted randomized block design repeated measures over time. Treatments were: Control (CTL), fractionated (F, 73.5% fatty acids C16:0 14.7%...
Enhanced postruminal supply of methionine (Met) during the peripartal period alters protein abundance insulin, AA, and antioxidant signaling pathways in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Whether SAT is directly responsive to Met can induce molecular alterations unknown. Our objective was examine whether enhanced an oxidative stress challenge vitro inflammation, signaling-related networks. Four late-lactation Holstein cows (average 27.0 kg milk per day) were used for collection. Tissue...
The 2015 Production, Management, and Environment symposium titled “Environmental Footprint of Livestock Production – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Climate Change” was held at the Joint Annual Meeting American Society Animal Science Dairy Association Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, FL, on July 15, 2015. organized by program committee composed Scott Radcliffe, Purdue University (committee chair); Trevor DeVries, Guelph; Al Rotz, USDA-ARS, Park, PA; Don Ely, Kentucky; Phil Cardoso, Illinois;...
Abstract Arginine (Arg) and methionine (Met) can elicit anti-inflammatory antioxidant effects in animals. Unlike Met, however, it is unknown if the supply of Arg impact key aspects adipose tissue (AT) function dairy cows. Since Met metabolism are linked through synthesis polyamines, also possible that they have a complementary effect on AT during stress challenge. In this experiment, subcutaneous was harvested from four lactating multiparous Holstein cows (~27.0 kg milk per day, body...
