Accomplishments
Note that the principal participants are indicated in relation to the stated accomplishment and subsequent impact. However, in almost all cases these are multi-state collaborative projects that involve one or more W-173 participants.
Objective I: Identify appropriate measures of animal stress and well-being and
characterize factors affecting the biology of the stress response
*Accomplishment: NE-USDA-MARC Results of a study of relative heat tolerance among cattle of different genetics indicated dark-hided cattle were more stressed than light-hided cattle. Heat stress more than doubled drinking behavior, increased standing, and decreased eating, lying, and agonistic behaviors. Impact: It was found that dark-hided cattle with higher condition scores were more adversely affected by heat stress.
*Accomplishment: TN Studies showed the free cortisol index can be used as a surrogate marker for plasma free cortisol in the pigs since it correlates well with plasma free cortisol, which is the biologically active component. Impact: The free cortisol index provides a simple, less time consuming assessment of situations resulting in significant changes in plasma total cortisol levels by taking into account shifts in CBG concentration.
*Accomplishment: NE The bi-logistic model followed the dynamics of the handling process. The predictions for time to reach maximum body temperature were closer to the observed value than either the or hormetic estimates and the prediction of maximum body temperature was better than the bi-logistic and as good as the hormetic estimate. Moreover, the segmented model was robust to different definitions of recovery time. Impact: Results of this work will improve our ability to characterize thermal stress in livestock and enable us to compare breeds, management strategies and to identify cattle that are resistant or sensitive to thermal stress.
*Accomplishment: AL and KS collaborated on a study designed to evaluate gene expression in various immune and endocrine tissues at 6 and 24 hr after i.p. LPS injection. Tissues were collected at sacrifice and total RNA was later extracted for evaluation utilizing differential display PCR. Differential display procedures are currently in progress. Additionally, KS evaluated expression of toll-like receptors (TLR) and chemokines in cultured porcine jejunal epithelial cells infected with Salmonella serovars. Salmonella infection increased TLR-2 and ?5, as well as CCL-20 and IL-8. Impact: Results suggest the gastrointestinal epithelium is an important regulator of immune cell function.
*Accomplishment: AZ Heat shock proteins (HSP) were assessed by western blot analysis in semen samples from normal and cryptorchid stallions. HSP?s were not detected in any semen samples indicating that ejaculated sperm do not express HSP?s. Samples to testicular tissue from normal and crytorchid stallions were then assessed for HSP profiles. HSP40 and HSP70 were detected in both normal and retained testes. However, HSP 70 expression levels were 2-fold higher in retained than normal testes tissue. Impact: Results suggest a possible association of HSP70 in sperm from abdominally retained (heated) stallion testes.
*Accomplishment: MO-USDA Investigated the immunological and physiological responses of young pigs to a live bacterial challenge by determining the acute immune response in pigs challenged with E. coli. Impact: An understanding of the immunological and physiological responses associated with live bacterial challenges is necessary before novel approaches for preventing E. coli outbreaks in swine herds can be effectively implemented.
*Accomplishment: MO conducted an experiment to determine the effect of successively higher levels of heat challenge on thermal status of cattle. Hysteresis loops for Tcore showed distinct time-of-day differences in response to air temperature change. These loops were different for low and high heat stress periods. Likewise, these loops showed downward shifts during the first week of adaptation, with little change after this time. Impact: These results show that hysteresis loops can be used to characterize core body temperature response of cattle to heat stress in the field. It appears that cattle adapt to heat in this environment by delaying the change in core body temperature with the daily shift in air temperature.
Objective II: Evaluate management strategies that minimize the detrimental effects
of animal stress
*Accomplishment: UF completed additional studies aimed at characterizing the influence of copper nutrition on the health and productivity of beef cattle. Impact: These findings indicate that copper nutrition is an important contributor to early responses to inflammatory signals. Applications for improving copper nutrition will likely increase the effectiveness of vaccines containing adjuvant carriers.
*Accomplishment: UF completed a transportation stress/feedlot receiving study to investigate the effects of early calf weaning on the stressors associated with weaning and transportation. Impact: These findings indicate that early calf weaning has a significant effect on lessening physiological characteristics associated with the stress of calf weaning. This effect translated into nearly a 25% improvement in feed efficiency during the feedlot receiving and growing period.
*Accomplishment: NY, MS and HI tested a vaginal temperature logger for dairy cows and determined it can effectively measure body temperature. The logger is comprised of a commercial waterproof temperature logger encased in a specially constructed, soft plastic anchor with 8 fingerlike projections to keep it from being discharged from the vagina. Impact: Taking spot measurements of body temperature with a rectal thermometer cannot be done frequently enough to explore the dynamics of thermoregulation and it disrupts the behavior of the cows. The vaginal temperature logger overcomes these limitations with an easy to use, non-disruptive, low cost, continuous record of body temperature.
*Accomplishment: NY, HI and MS observed the thermoregulatory responses of heat-stressed dairy cows in a freestall barn in a hot-humid environment. When cows are laying in freestalls, their body temperatures rises under fan cooling. Spray cooling reduces the rate of this rise by one-half. When their body temperature reaches about 39°C, the cows stand up in their stalls. Upon standing cows can cool with fans alone. They cool twice as fast when fans are supplemented with feedline spray. Impact: Heat-stress in dairy cows causes great economic losses to the dairy industry as well as adversely affecting the well-being of cows, where successful management requires an understanding the dynamics thermal responses within a freestall barn.
*Accomplishment: NY, HI and AZ compared the evaporation rates of black and white heat-stressed dairy cows under simulated direct solar radiation in a hot-dry environment. Black hair coats absorb more solar radiation and are warmer and have higher sweating rates than white hair coats. Impact: Solar radiation imposes a severe thermal load on cows where the impact of black hair coats and high sweating rates must be included in management strategies.
*Accomplishment: MO-USDA assessed endocrine and tissue responses to 72 h feed deprivation in weaned pigs and also determined the effects of exogenous ghrelin on endocrine, behavioral, feed intake and weight gain responses in pigs that are undergoing the post-weaning transition to a solid diet. Impact: This work on appetite regulation as it relates to the weaning process will be valuable in the search for methods which can be utilized to prevent weigh loss associated with the naturally occurring feed deprivation during this period. Decreasing the time pigs go without feed during the postweaning period will enhance growth and performance, as well as reduce the incidence of early postweaning morbidity and mortality.
*Accomplishment: MO-USDA determined the effects of an estrogenic compound (Ralgro; R) on maternal and piglet performance and components of the somatotrophic axis. Impact: This work supports theory that prenatal and perinatal treatments can be utilized to enhance pig productivity during the postnatal period.
*Accomplishment: MO Further evaluation of the effect of fescue toxicosis on cattle performance showed that a dietary seaweed product will produce a temporary reduction in core body temperature during heat stress in both chamber and field environments. A higher level of dietary iodide is not responsible for this reduction. Impact: Seaweed-derived feed additives can be used to reduce heat strain in cattle.
*Accomplishment: KY showed air temperatures within the trailer during transport were
significantly higher than the ambient air temperatures, and varied with position in the trailer. The air temperature was lowest at the rear of the trailer, and was significantly higher at the front stall. Impact: Determining the ventilation rate within the trailer will allow for better understanding of the thermal environment horses are subjected to during transport.
*Accomplishment: KY and IA developed and tested algorithms for determining individual bird feeding statistics and stereotyped pecking behavior from time-series recordings of feed weight. Impact: By scientifically characterizing the feeding behavior of laying hens, baseline information will result that may help better quantify the welfare of birds.
*Accomplishment: NE-USDA-MARC Heat stress response of cattle to climate variables of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation have been collected and an algorithm developed to represent animal response in the form of RR. The response was then compared to response of animals in various categories of stress: alert, danger, and emergency. Impact: This tool uses current weather measurements at the feedlot and will assist feedlot operators and cattle producers in management decisions involving heat waves.
