People are considering this short, fine-leaved prairie grass for an ecologically sound and energy efficient turf.
G92-1112 Lice Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
G92-1112 Lice Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Identifying and controlling lice on cattle both are covered here.
Cattle lice may be the most underestimated livestock insect in terms of economic losses. The USDA estimates that U.S. livestock producers lose $125 million a year to cattle lice.
Heavy louse populations cause lowered milk production, loss of flesh, stunted growth, general unthriftiness and anemia. "Chronic" or "carrier" cows may abort due to louse-induced anemia. During severe winters, louse-infested animals are more susceptible to respiratory diseases.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Participation in the National Poultry Improvement Plan to prevent egg-transmitted diseases to small flocks, game birds, hobby, and exhibition flock owners is explained in this NebGuide.
The National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a cooperative state/federal program that was established in 1935 to reduce and eventually eliminate several diseases transmitted primarily through infected breeder flocks and theirs eggs. The plan's widespread acceptance among the commercial industry has almost completely eliminated Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum from commercial breeding stocks. Participation in the plan has saved the commercial industry and small flock owners millions of dollars due to improved health and …
Ec92-270 Conducting Pig Feed Trials On The Farm, Duane Reese, Walter W. Stroup
Ec92-270 Conducting Pig Feed Trials On The Farm, Duane Reese, Walter W. Stroup
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The purpose of this publication is to provide fundamental information that must be understood before attempting to conduct a feed trial. The concepts and procedures described here are valid for most situations involving a comparison of two feeds. Any trial involving more than two feeds raises issues that are beyond the scope of this publication. Those issues are covered in university statistics courses on design and analysis of experiments.
We suggest that pork producers adopt a "best cost" feeding program tailored to the operation and based on sound nutritional principles. Feed cost per pound of gain is a major item …

Description
Thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) are common throughout the Great Plains. They have many common names such as "thirteen-liner" or "striped gopher." "Gopher" is a misnomer because true (pocket) gophers (Geomys bursarius and Thomomys talpoides) belong to another family of rodents.
Nf92-54 Let's Talk About Handling Stress, Pat Steffens
Nf92-54 Let's Talk About Handling Stress, Pat Steffens
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
You need stress in your life! Does that surprise you? Perhaps so, but it is true. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. Too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in this stress-filled world of today is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.
G92-1098 Cultivators For Conservation Tillage, Robert D. Grisso, Paul J. Jasa
G92-1098 Cultivators For Conservation Tillage, Robert D. Grisso, Paul J. Jasa
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Cultivating residue-covered fields and ridge-till considerations are among the topics covered here.
In any conventional, conservation or no-tillage planting system, crop cultivation can be an excellent method of weed control. Cultivators used in residue-covered fields must allow residue to flow through the implement without clogging.
Extra penetration force may be required to cultivate no-till fields as compared to tilled fields. While many high-clearance cultivators are designed to handle conservation tillage conditions, some older cultivators can be modified to work in residue-covered fields when residue flow and soil penetration are maintained.
Combining mechanical and chemical weed control is economical and effective …

G92-1107 Elm Leaf Beetle, David L. Keith, Frederick P. Baxendale, James A. Kalisch
G92-1107 Elm Leaf Beetle, David L. Keith, Frederick P. Baxendale, James A. Kalisch
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
History, identification, and indoor and outdoor control of the elm leaf beetle are discussed.
The elm leaf beetle is an imported pest, first found in the United States in 1834. Common throughout Nebraska, it is almost exclusively a pest of elms, including the American, Siberian and other varieties. Japanese Zelkova is also readily attacked. Adults (beetles) vary in color from yellow to olive green, and have a black stripe near the outside of each wing cover. They can be confused with other beetles of similar appearance (western corn rootworm, striped cucumber beetle), but they are distinctive in that they occur …
G92-1095 Equine Internal Parasites, Don Hudson, Dale Grotelueschen, Duane Rice
G92-1095 Equine Internal Parasites, Don Hudson, Dale Grotelueschen, Duane Rice
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Effective control programs for equine internal parasites.
All horses have internal parasites. Ninety percent of all the colic cases may be related to blood vessel damage caused by the migrating larvae of Strongylus vulgaris (blood worms). Fifty percent of the deaths in horses may be related to internal parasites.
Internal parasites have adapted themselves to the internal environment of their host animal and have become host-specific. Horse parasites can only exist in horses and cattle parasites only in cattle. If a cow eats the eggs or larvae of a horse parasite (or vice versa), the life cycle of the parasite …

Hog Lice and Mange Mites
External parasites of swine include the hog louse and two species of mange mites (the common itch mite and the less common hog follicle mite). Excessive scratching and rubbing by pigs nearly always indicate an infestation of hog lice or mange mites.
Hog lice and mange mites infest a high percentage of swine slaughtered at Midwest slaughter plants.
