Metabolome and proteome changes in skeletal muscle and blood of pre-weaning calves fed leucine and threonine supplemented diets
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
In pre-weaning calves, both leucine and threonine play important roles in growth and muscle metabolism. In this study, metabolomics, proteomics and clinical chemistry were used to assess the effects of ...
Evaluating the potential role of tryptophan in calf milk replacers to facilitate weaning
(Elsevier, 2020-05-29)
Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that participates in the control of the affective state of an animal. We hypothesized that Trp supplementation could help dairy calves to cope ...
Prediction of tissue composition of live dairy calves and carcasses by computed tomography
(Elsevier, 2020-12-13)
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique, based on X-rays, that has been used in several livestock species to evaluate carcass composition. The objective of this study was to construct ...
