Habitat Relations of Mule Deer in the Texas Panhandle.
(1985-11-27)Telemetric observations of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) does were used to determine seasonal relationships between deer use and availability of habitats on two study areas in the Panhandle region of west Texas. Juniper ... -
Protein Supplementation and 48-Hour Calf Removal Effects on Range Cows
(1992-03)In 1984, 99 Angus × Hereford cows (4- to 6-yr-olds) were assigned randomly to a 4-yr, 2 × 2 factorial study. Treatment assignment was permanent, and no new cows were added during the study. By 1987, 71 cows remained, and ... -
Application of Feeding Behaviour to Predict Morbidity of Newly Received Calves in a Commercial Feedlot.
(2001-09)The objective of this study was to use feeding behavior of newly received steers (average initial weight 191 kg) to detect morbidity in animals in a commercial feedlot. Two separate 32 d feeding trials were conducted in ... -
Horses and Cattle Grazing on the Wyoming Red Desert, III.
(1984-03)Vegetative cover losses due to trampling near watering sites in the summer and winter are compared for horses grazed alone, cattle grazed alone and horses and cattle grazed in combination. There were significant differences ... -
Horses and Cattle Grazing in the Wyoming Red Desert, II. Dietary Quality.
(1984-05)Botanical composition of horse and cattle diets from fecal analysis and nutrient quality of hand-harvested forages used by these herbivores were evaluated to assess dietary quality during the summer and winter seasons of ... -
Estimating Digestibility and Faecal Output in Lambs Using Internal and External Markers.
(1988-08-01)Twenty fine-wool, ruminally cannulated lambs (average weight 45–9 kg) were used in a completely random design to evaluate the ability of three internal markers to predict dry matter digestibility and two external markers ... -
Horses and Cattle Grazing in the Wyoming Red Desert
(1984-01)The sagebrush-grass range in southcentral Wyoming presently supports large numbers of feral horses and domestic livestock. Diets of feral horses and cattle during summer and winter grazing were evaluated using fecal analysis ... -
Influence of Ruminally Dispensed Monensin and Forage Maturity on Intake and Digestion.
(1993-05)Eight ruminally cannulated crossbred steers (average weight 336 kg) grazing native blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis [H.B.K.]) rangeland were used in a repeated measures design to evaluate effects of monensin ruminal delivery ... -
Liquid supplementation for ruminants fed low-quality forage diets: a review
(1995-09)Forty-three studies involving liquid supplementation of cattle and sheep consuming low-quality forages were identified, summarized in tabular form and reviewed. All studies that could be found containing animal gain, forage ... -
Restoration of spotted knapweed infested grasslands in Glacier National Park
(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 2003)There is an immediate and on-going need in Glacier National Park (GNP), and other public and private lands, to determine effective methods to re-establish and sustain native plant populations following control treatments ... -
Compositional tracking of dissolved organic matter in semiarid wheat-based cropping systems using fluorescence EEMs-PARAFAC and absorbance spectroscopy
(2019-08)We conducted this study to quantify long-term cropping related changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and characterize the optical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) after a decadal on-farm experiment in ... -
Struvite Stone Formation by Ureolytic Biofilms
(2019)This chapter describes the role ureolytic biofilms (communities of microbes attached to surfaces) play in struvite stone formation in the urinary tract. The formation of struvite stones (MgNH4PO4·6H2O), commonly known as ... -
Measuring Antimicrobial Efficacy against Biofilms: A MetaAnalysis
(2019-05)Through a statistical meta-analysis of published data on antimicrobial efficacy against biofilms formed by two common bacterial species, it was concluded that the particular experimental method used is the most important ... -
Holistic Management of Textile Odor Using Novel Silver-Polymeric Complexes
(2018-08)Odor poses a growing concern in clothing and apparel applications due to laundering limitations at managing odor-causing microorganisms. Herein, a novel silver-polymer complex was applied to textile materials and studied ... -
The exchange of water and energy between a tropical peat forest and the atmosphere: Seasonal trends and comparison against other tropical rainforests.
(2019-09)Tropical rainforests control the exchange of water and energy between the land surface and the atmosphere near the equator and thus play an important role in the global climate system. Measurements of latent (LE) and ... -
Simulation model suggests that fire promotes lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) invasion in Patagonia
(2019-07)To best understand plant invasions and predict unexpected outcomes it is necessary to integrate information on disturbance, the local environment, and demography. Disturbance by fire has been shown to promote invasions ... -
International expansion of retailers: the role of technical expertise, alliances and allocation of resources in economic crises
(2019-05)Economic downturns are often viewed as threats to prosperity and the challenges they can pose for international retailers are well documented. However, the potential opportunities of economic downturns are less well ... -
Identifying and clarifying arguments in a recent debate regarding measures based on memory-based methods
(2019-04)Two recent commentaries published in this journal argued against the usefulness of memory-based dietary assessment methods (M-BMs). A pair of responding commentaries disputed those negative claims regarding M-BMs and ... -
Zeolite-Templated Carbon as the Cathode for a High Energy Density Dual-Ion Battery
(2019-04)Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are electrochemical energy storage devices that operate by the simultaneous participation of two different ion species at the anode and cathode and rely on the use of an electrolyte that can ... -
Synthetic secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (LGM2605) inhibits Libby amphibole fiber-induced acute inflammation in mice
(2019-07)Background Exposure to the Libby amphibole (LA) asbestos-like fibers found in Libby, Montana, is associated with inflammatory responses in mice and humans, and an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, asbestosis, ...
