- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $299,998 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to Oklahoma State University on August 1, 2025. The project focuses on establishing traceable molecular indicators in meat that can be used to assess meat discoloration and quality. The research will involve conducting experiments using various meat extracts to identify and understand the relevant molecular...
- This $650,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant aims to investigate the impact of poor maternal nutrition during gestation on mitochondrial function and growth in offspring using a sheep model. Key objectives are to assess the ability of liver and muscle mitochondria to produce ATP, identify metabolic signals of...
- This $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support research at Utah State University to assess the impacts of hormone-based anabolic implants commonly used in beef production systems. The project aims to improve understanding of how these implants influence skeletal muscle growth, metabolism, and meat quality in beef cattle. Utilizing...
- This $650,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), supports research to investigate the metabolic changes in poultry during the transition from embryonic to post-hatch development. The project aims to determine the role of specific macronutrients in regulating this metabolic switch, focusing on evaluating changes in mitochondrial function and nutrient metabolism...
- This $150,000 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research to define the mechanism by which the fatty acid oleic acid enhances lipid accumulation and improves mitochondrial function in bovine adipocytes (fat cells) of dairy cows. The research aims to determine if this mechanism reduces oxidative damage during lipolysis (fat breakdown) in the transition period, when dairy cows...

- This $6.8 million 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 the development of "Smart Foodscapes" as a transformative paradigm for beef production in the Western U.S. Awarded to Utah State University on September 1, 2021 for a five-year period concluding August 31, 2026, the grant will support research, extension, and education...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $300,000 to Utah State University (USU) to advance gene editing and genetic engineering technologies for improving livestock health and welfare. The research focuses on using prime editing, a precise genome-editing tool, to introduce beneficial traits like disease resistance and hornlessness in sheep...
- This $650,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA program supports research to address issues with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) in high-altitude beef cattle. The University of Connecticut (UConn) will use the funding to evaluate the effects of supplemental vitamin E on feed efficiency and meat quality for cattle with high PAP. This work aims to provide immediate guidance...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research at the University of Wyoming to evaluate the relationships between beef steer activity levels, feed efficiency, and meat quality. The project aims to determine if accelerometer data on total steps and mounting behavior correlates with feed efficiency, flight speed, and meat quality...
