- This $220,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), will support a 2-year study at Purdue University on the effects of colostrum consumption by neonatal piglets. The project aims to investigate the systemic metabolic impacts, including potential mitochondrial dysregulation, resulting from inadequate colostrum intake. Using stable isotope tracing and transcriptomic analysis of liver tissue,...
- This Project Grant award of $263,819.39 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant aims to examine how dietary fiber can improve small intestinal nutrient sensing mechanisms that regulate food intake via a gut-brain axis, which is dependent on changes in the small intestinal microbiome. The research will identify specific small intestinal bacteria...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded $575,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program to Texas A&M Agrilife Research. The goal of this five-year Project Grant is to better understand how glucose and fructose nutrients released by the uterus are utilized by embryos in pigs, a species where 20-40% of embryos die during the first 20 days of pregnancy due to the low-oxygen uterine cavity environment....
