- 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 $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) supports research at Texas Tech University to study how ketosis affects fat tissue in dairy cows. The key objectives are to: (1) analyze changes in the genetics of fat cells in different body areas during ketosis, (2) investigate how ketosis alters the structure of fat tissue, and (3) define how these changes impact...
- This three-year, $650,000 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Texas Tech University to better understand the cellular mechanisms that determine marbling and fat accumulation in beef cattle. The university will study the genetics and function of fat cell progenitors in different fat tissue types, including intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT),...
- This $120,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The award to Texas A&M AgriLife Research will fund a 2-year research project to investigate the impacts of heat stress and the reproductive tract microbiome on early pregnancy loss in dairy cattle. The research aims to gain a better understanding of the relationships between reproductive microbiome...
- This $650,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support research by South Dakota State University (SDSU) to elucidate the impact of chronic low-grade systemic inflammation on mammary gland immune responses in postpartum dairy cattle. The research aims to 1) study the role of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation on mammary gland immune responses during an intramammary...
- This $650,000 federal grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports a research project at the University of Wisconsin - Madison to improve livestock feed efficiency. The key objectives are to: Determine if nutrient metabolism is coordinated across tissues to contribute to whole-body feed efficiency in dairy cows. Evaluate the fatty acid composition and metabolic activity of different adipose...
- This $800,000 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 support research by Texas A&M AgriLife Research to (1) identify enhancers from whole blood for the two bovine subspecies, and (2) quantify the effect of bovine enhancer variation on gene expression. The research aims to better understand gene regulation at enhancer sites in the two cattle...
- This four-year, $650,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Cornell University to understand how dairy cow intake, inflammation, and immune system activation impact calcium regulation and milk production. Specifically, the researchers aim to critically assess the long-held belief that all mild hypocalcemia experienced by dairy cows...
- This $650,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), aims to improve the reproductive success of high-producing dairy cows. The research project has two main objectives: 1) understanding the nutritional needs of dairy cow embryos, particularly differences between lactating cows and younger heifers, in order to identify ways to better support embryo development; and 2) examining how oxygen and...
- This $642,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will fund research at Michigan State University from July 2022 to June 2026 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant aims to explore the use of isoprostanes as biomarkers for oxidative stress in dairy cattle around calving to better understand disease susceptibility. Manipulating isoprostane production through nutritional...
