No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; Two experiments compared body parameters and serum concentrations of GH, IGF-I, and leptin in Bos indicus females based on their pregnancy status to fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI). In Exp. 1, 226 nulliparous heifers were assigned to a puberty induction protocol (d -35 to d -23), followed by a...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-06-01; Excitable temperament disrupts physiological events required for reproductive development in cattle, but no research has investigated the impacts of temperament on growth and puberty attainment in Bos indicus females. Hence, this experiment evaluated the effects of temperament on growth, plasma cortisol...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; Expression of estrus (EST) near the time of fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) increases pregnancy success in beef females. This outcome has been associated with improved pregnancy establishment and maintenance, although research is still warranted to validate this theory. Hence, this experiment ...
A two-year study was conducted with the objective to compare the effects of a traditional 48-h calf withdrawal to early-weaning and repeated 48-h calf withdrawals on postpartum interval and measures of performance of first-calf cows. A total of 112 primiparous, Brahman×British cow–calf pairs were randomly allotted to three treatments over two consecutive years: early weaning (EW; permanent cow and calf separati...
