Twenty-four 3-year-old Angus cows (512.2±21.6 kg) and six ruminally cannulated beef heifers (523.1±16.9 kg) were used to determine the impact of feeding oilseeds starting at the beginning of estrous synchronization until maternal recognition of pregnancy on plasma fatty acid composition. Starting ~60 days postpartum cows were synchronized with the Select Synch+controlled internal drug-release (...

Crossbred ewe lambs initially weighing approximately 90 lb (41 kg) were fed rations varying in roughage level prior to breeding to examine the influence of level of dietary energy upon subsequent reproductive performance when bred as lambs. In the two trials conducted over a 2-year period 200 spring-born Iambs were placed in four lots of 25 lambs each year and received rations containing 12% cr...

Allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) were transplanted after immunoselection of CD34+ cells. Two patient groups were studied: group I patients received immunoselected blood CD34+ cells and unmanipulated marrow cells from the same donor. Group II patients were given immunoselected blood and bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cells. One to 6 weeks before bone marrow transplantation (BMT), PBP...
