During the Fall 2021 semester, Dr. White’s Lab had two undergraduate Bio152 students and they presented their research at the Bio152 Symposium on Dec 14, 2021.
Sophia Edwards‘s project titled “Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and cholesterol are affected by the transition period in dairy cows, but nutritional interventions do not improve metabolic health” gave her the opportunity to explore the patterns of minerals and cholesterol in transition dairy cows duirng the transition period when cows had nutritional interventions given to them or not.
Sara Johnson‘s project titled “The effects of intrauterine choline exposure on beef x dairy calves” gave her the opportunity to learn about in-utero nutritional interventions and how these interventions may or may not affect the growth of the newborn calf through its growth into a heifer.
Well done Sophia and Sara!
