Thesis title "Impact of supplementing rumen-protected arginine on blood flow parameters and luteinizing hormone concentration in cyclic beef cows consuming endophyte-infected tall fescue seed".Ĭurrent job: Eastern US Regional Manager for Life Products GRADUATE COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES AS A FACULTY MEMBER.Animal Science 430 – Nutrient Evaluation and Ration Formulation – Spring 2014."Nutrient Requirements of Grazing Livestock" Plant Science 435/535 – Field and Forage Crops – Fall 2013 & 2015.Animal Science 515 – Advanced Animal Nutrition – Spring 2015.Animal Science 511 – Advanced Cow-calf Nutrition – Spring 2013.influence of genetic potential for milk production on feed efficiency measured.endophyte-infected fescue effects on peripheral blood flow with Doppler ultrasound.strategic supplementation of limiting amino acids in heifers.factors affecting beef cow efficiency – sub cellular and production management.system management to increase range beef herd reproductive and production efficiency.calf preconditioning programs focused on calf health and economic returns.
impact of prenatal nutrition on calf development and health from birth through the finishing phase.predicting range cow reproductive status with nutritional assessments.influence of body condition score on reproduction in young range cows.variation in mineral water and water quality for livestock in rangelands.increasing reproduction and economic returns in young range cows with supplementing propionate salts.range beef cow mineral nutrition and intake.decreasing winter feed cost and improving range cow productivity with strategic supplementation.beef heifer development methods and longevity.Previous and current research has been focused on the grazing beef cow and beef production systems including:.This objective is based on the hypothesis that interaction of strategies such as: 1) application of nutritional technologies (supplements that minimize metabolic limitations) 2) use of quick methods to detect metabolic dysfunction and 3) improved rangeland and pasture use practices when applied simultaneously with items 1 and 2, will foster high impact technologies that will be adopted by clientele. The focus of my research objectives are to create cost-effective, innovative rich, simple to implement rangeland/forage and animal management practices and systems that promote ecological stewardship, grazing animal efficiency, and economic sustainability. Utilized extensive, interdisciplinary approach in collaborations with range and forage ecologists, reproductive physiologists, chemists, soil scientists, wildlife ecologists, agriculture economists, geneticist, genomics/bioinformatics, rumen microbiologist, animal behaviorist, fire ecologist, immunologist, and other dairy, beef, and human nutritionists. Ruminant nutrition, metabolism, and physiologyīeef cattle management utilizing semi-arid rangelands (New Mexico, Montana, and Nebraska), introduced and native pasture-based systems, (Tennessee), and feed efficiency with GrowSafe technology.
