INVITED REVIEW: Animal science departments of the future

[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 86(11), 3235–3244.

By: J. Britt* , E. Aberle*, K. Esbenshade n & J. Males*

author keywords: animal science department; contemporary food animal production; funding; land-grant college; university
MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / education; Animal Husbandry / trends; Animals; Food Industry / education; Food Industry / trends; Humans; Universities / trends
TL;DR: The future portends significant changes in departments of animal science in response to shifts in how public higher education is financed and how society views the roles of animals in providing food and companionship. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

Role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone pulse frequency in differential regulation of gonadotropins in the gilt

BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION, 56(4), 1012–1019.

By: F. Jayes n, J. Britt n  & K. Esbenshade n

MeSH headings : Activity Cycles; Animals; Antibody Formation; Drug Administration Schedule; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / blood; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / metabolism; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / administration & dosage; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / analogs & derivatives; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / immunology; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / pharmacology; Luteinizing Hormone / blood; Luteinizing Hormone / metabolism; Ovariectomy; Radioimmunoassay; Swine
TL;DR: The results of this study imply that the LH surge is terminated because the pituitary gland becomes incapable of responding to an otherwise adequate stimulus, and not because of exhaustion of releasable LH pools. (via Semantic Scholar)

1991 journal article

PASSIVE-IMMUNIZATION OF THE PIG AGAINST GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING-HORMONE DURING THE FOLLICULAR PHASE OF THE ESTROUS-CYCLE

THERIOGENOLOGY, 35(5), 869–881.

By: K. Esbenshade*

author keywords: PIG; GNRH; IMMUNIZATION; ESTROUS CYCLE
TL;DR: The results indicate that passive immunization of pigs against GnRH before initiation of or during the early part of the follicular phase of the estrous cycle retards follicular development, whereas administration of GnRH antibodies during the latter stages of follicularDevelopment does not have an affect.

ENCAPSULATION OF PORCINE SPERMATOZOA IN POLYLYSINE MICROSPHERES

THERIOGENOLOGY, 33(2), 499–508.

By: K. Esbenshade n & R. Nebel*

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that porcine spermatozoa can be encapsulated in microspheres and that these capsules can be inseminated into estrous females, but the sperm undergo an accelerated loss of motility in vitro and in vivo. (via Semantic Scholar)

1986 journal article

BODY CONDITION OF SOWS ACROSS PARITIES AND RELATIONSHIP TO REPRODUCTIVE-PERFORMANCE

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 62(5), 1187–1193.

By: K. Esbenshade n, J. Britt n, J. Armstrong n, V. Toelle n & C. Stanislaw n

MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue / anatomy & histology; Animals; Body Composition; Body Weight; Female; Parity; Pregnancy; Pregnancy, Animal; Swine / anatomy & histology
TL;DR: The results suggest that changes in body condition typically observed in sows housed in commercial production units may be too subtle to have an effect on reproductive performance. (via Semantic Scholar)

CLEARANCE RATE OF LUTEINIZING-HORMONE AND FOLLICLE-STIMULATING-HORMONE FROM PERIPHERAL-CIRCULATION IN THE PIG

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 62(6), 1649–1653.

By: K. Esbenshade n, M. Vogel n & G. Traywick n

MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies / physiology; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / blood; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / metabolism; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / immunology; Immunization, Passive; Luteinizing Hormone / blood; Luteinizing Hormone / metabolism; Metabolic Clearance Rate; Swine / metabolism
TL;DR: The results show that the half-life of LH is similar following immunoneutralization of GnRH or administration of a bolus of LH in immunized gilts and a difference in clearance rates of LH and FSH after initial passive immunization and suggest that secretion of FSH in the ovariectomized gilt is controlled by factors in addition to hypothalamic GnRH.

ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION OF GIFTS AGAINST GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE - EFFECTS ON SECRETION OF GONADOTROPINS, REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION, AND RESPONSES TO AGONISTS OF GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE

BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION, 33(3), 569–577.

By: K. Esbenshade n & J. Britt n

MeSH headings : Animals; Autoantibodies / analysis; Buserelin / analogs & derivatives; Buserelin / pharmacology; Estrus / drug effects; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / blood; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / analogs & derivatives; Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone / pharmacology; Goserelin; Immunity, Active; Immunization, Secondary; Luteinizing Hormone / blood; Ovariectomy; Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones / immunology; Prolactin / blood; Swine
TL;DR: It is concluded that cyclic gilts can be actively immunized against GnRH and that this causes cessation of estrous cycles and inhibits secretion of LH, FSH, and gonadal steroids. (via Semantic Scholar)
