- This $224,852 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund a study at Michigan State University to investigate the impact of sow stress resilience during gestation on the performance of their daughters. The study aims to determine how a gestating sow's ability to regulate stress impacts the longevity, behavior, physiology, and production outcomes of her...
- The Michigan State University was awarded a $650,000 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant will fund research over a four-year period from July 2022 through June 2026 to evaluate social stress resilience in pigs. The research aims to characterize stress responses in pigs at weaning and estimate effects on future stress response. It will also...
- This three-year, $650,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at North Carolina State University to quantify the role of microbiota maturation in sows at high or low risk of producing offspring displaying in utero heat stress (IUHS) phenotypes. It will also develop a trans-generational multi-omics approach to identify...
- This federal Project Grant award of $237,204.00 from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), will fund research into using gut microbiome modulation as an alternative approach to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) in swine. The key objectives of this 18-month project, led by the Regents of the University of Minnesota, are to investigate the effects of microbiome...
- This three-year, $630,000 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) supports research under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The grant funds a study at Michigan State University investigating the role of histamine in causing increased gut permeability and inflammation in weaned pigs. Early weaning is stressful for piglets and can result in long-term inefficiencies. The project...
- This federal Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $300,000 in funding to the University of Delaware to conduct research on how stress affects nutrient absorption in pigs. The research aims to investigate how weaning pigs at different ages disrupts their digestive system, including the nerves and hormone-producing cells in their guts, and impacts their ability to absorb...
- This $298,832 Project Grant award to Utah State University (USU) from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund a series of studies investigating the interactive effects of diet and psychological stress on gut health in mice. The research will leverage Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to develop a novel, cost-effective approach for measuring gut inflammation. Specifically, the grant will support...
- This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The project aims to gain a high-resolution characterization of the rumen microbiome in dairy cattle under heat-stressed and heat-stress-relieved conditions, and to uncover heat-stress-related neuroactive substances derived from the rumen microbiota and host. The research objectives are to explore the...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $650,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA No. 10.310) to North Dakota State University for a project titled "Diverse and Dynamic Microbial Communities in Cattle." The four-year project, running from June 2022 to May 2026, will evaluate the impact of altering maternal microbiota in beef cattle via high forage or high concentrate diets on offspring...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, will fund a $143,956 sabbatical project at the University of Massachusetts Lowell to enhance the technical and data analytic skills of the investigator to perform cutting-edge microbiome research. The project aims to help the investigator master new analytical techniques related to strain and viral analyses in the lab of Dr. Huttenhower, a leading...
