Human Nutrition
A Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Trial to Assess the Effects of a Lean Pork-containing, High-protein Breakfast on Indices of Satiety and Metabolic Health In Men and Women with
Experimental studies in humans designed to test the impact of pork consumption on glucose homeostasis and other elements of the cardiometabolic risk factor profile are limited. Previous research on...
Evaluation of cross-protective immunity induced by porcine intestinal mesenchymal stromal cell-adapted PEDV
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) which was isolated in 2013 in the US is causing huge economic losses to Pork Industry. PEDV causes an acute enteric infection in pigs of all ages but infection...
Pork Quality
National Pork Retail Benchmarking Study
The primary objective of this project was to benchmark fresh pork quality at the retail store level. A great deal of variation in pork quality exists in the retail marketplace, leaving consumers with...

Prediction of Pork Quality using Raman Spectroscopy
The objective of the project was to develop an approach to use Raman spectroscopy to predict sensory quality of fresh pork loins. Pork loins (n=200) were selected during fabrication on seven...
Animal Science - Swine Nutrition
Novel feed processing methods of cold pelleting and fine ground corn segregation to maximize feed efficiency, nutrient utilization and economic return
Swine producers continue to grind to extremely fine particle sizes, which inherently produces a significant portion of the diet that is fine powder. The fine particles (< 150 microns) create...
