Graduate Student Research Poster Competition

Thirty selected sides (from 30 whole carcasses) received high voltage (500 V, 60 Hz, 90s: HV) electrical stimulation (ES) within 45 min postmortem and the opposite sides served as controls (NES). Twelve unsplit whole carcasses received low voltage (50 V, 60 Hz, 15s: LV) ES within 3 min after stunning. Following stimulation, each side received one of three temperature conditioning treatments: (A...

J. Anim. Sci. Vol. 87, E-Suppl. 2/J. Dairy Sci. Vol. 92, E-Suppl. 1 NDMI. The correlation between DMI and NDMI was 0.52 (P<0.001) and were most strongly associated during the first 10 weeks of lactation, after which point DMI was less than NDMI. The correlation between FCM and DMI across all herds was 0.23 (P<0.001). However, there was considerable variation among herds, with correlations betwe...

Graduate Student Paper Competition: National ADSA Production PhD Oral

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of concentrations of forages and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on production of lactating dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows were assigned randomly to replicated 4 × 4 Latin squares in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Diets were formulated containing low forage (LF; 41% of diet DM) or high forage (HF; 60% of die...
