Past Events

Livestock Research and Innovation invites faculty and students for a workshop on how to improve getting research into practice.  Speakers will emphasize how we are at a critical moment, how GRIP currently works and how to make it better. An industry panel will discuss their experience, sharing their first-hand knowledge on how they implement research. The afternoon session will feature a workshop to help build skills and explore possibilities. The Alda Communication Program will work to help everyone build a plan to take the next steps.

Title: The effects of natural monthly variations in environmental conditions on select serum and plasma electrolyte concentrations in healthy adult outdoor housed dogs and horses at rest.

  Good morning CGIL, This week we are happy to have Dr. Luciana Regitano, Research at Embrapa Southeast Livestock, presenting for us on Friday, April 14th, 2023. The seminar will begin at 1:30 PM EDT/EST on the virtual platform Microsoft Teams. The title of the presentation is: "Could the Bos indicus hologenome be considered for breeding purposes?".

Domestic chicken are bipedal birds that are capable of terrestrial and aerial locomotion. As flapping flight is energetically costly, chickens may use a combination of their hindlimbs and wings to loco-mote; however, little is known about the relationship between the keel bone, the flight muscles that anchor to it and the chickens’ ability to navigate their environment. Therefore, this thesis investigat-ed the effects of feather loss (Chapter 2) and exercise using inclines on flight muscle architecture, keel bone fractures (Chapter 3) and flight kinematics (Chapter 4).
