Blood characteristics as predictors of reproductive success in quail species exposed to DDT
Present sampling techniques are not capable of assessing both contamination with an organochlorine chemical and reproductive success without the need for removing individuals from that population. Experiments were performed to evaluate vitellogenin, vitamin A, and vitamin E as biomarkers of …

Effect of neonatal heat stress on growth, mortality and blood characteristics of juvenile broilers exposed to high ambient temperature
Previous studies indicated that exposure of broiler cockerels to acute heat for 24 hr at five days of age increased their survivability when exposed to high ambient temperature prior to market. Since they were conducted at low relative humidity, the aims of the present study were to determine if …

The time-course of physiological variation in rate function and acid-base disturbance in the domestic pig subjected to thermal stress
Basic physiological rates and blood characteristics were time-course measured during three 48 hour heat-stress (35 $\pm$ 2$\sp\circ$C) periods (HS). Function variation was also monitored during a 48 hour thermoneutral recovery (25 $\pm$ 2$\sp\circ$C) period (TN).

Evaluation of high-protein canola meals fed to growing chicks and weanling pigs
… growth performance, organ weights, bone ash, and blood characteristics of weanling pigs. Results indicated that ADFI was linearly (P < 0.05) decreased if inclusion of CMA, CMB, or CM-CV increased. Average daily gain of pigs fed CMA tended to increase quadratically, with the maximum response …

Reducing crude protein levels in diets fed to young pigs to optimize growth performance and intestinal health
… growth performance, post-weaning diarrhea (PWD), blood characteristics, gut morphology, and products of protein fermentation. Both experiments used the same formulation of 3 corn-soybean diets to generate 3 experimental treatments: 3 diets contained 22% and 19% CP that provided amino acids (AA) at …

Copper from copper hydroxychloride in diets for growing pigs increases feed efficiency, improves energy utilization and changes intestinal microbial activity
… ether extract (AEE), diarrhea frequency, blood characteristics, and growth performance of nursery pigs (initial body weight: 6.80 ± 1.69 kg) fed a diet based on corn and soybean meal (SBM). Results indicated that supplementation of 150 mg Cu/kg from Cu hydroxychloride improved (P < 0.05) …

Ecology and physiology of a black bear (Ursus americanus) population in the Great Dismal Swamp and reproduction physiology in the captive female black bear
… in ether extract. Condition indices and several blood characteristics (e.g. total protein, albumin, HCT, hemoglobin, and RBC) were at peaks in spring and late fall and at a low during summer. Serum creatinine concentrations also varied seasonally (<u>P</u><0.001), with a peak during denning and …
