University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses feeding management of the dry cow for optimum performance during the next lactation.
Dry Cow Management Goals
Every dairy producer's goal for the milking herd should be to maximize feed intake and milk production -- profitably. Proper dry cow management provides the foundation for a successful lactation.
G94-1207 Scab Of Wheat, John E. Watkins, Ben Doupnik, Jr.
G94-1207 Scab Of Wheat, John E. Watkins, Ben Doupnik, Jr.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The identification of and disease cycle of wheat scab is described along with its management. Guidelines for using wheat contaminated with vomitoxin also are included.
Scab or Fusarium head blight is an important disease of wheat, barley, oats, rye and wheatgrasses. Scab manifests itself by the premature death or blighting of spikelets in the wheat head. Direct yield losses are often minor, but can be higher than 50 percent in severely infected fields. The economic significance is magnified by the possibility that the low quality, shriveled grain also can become contaminated by mycotoxins (e.g. vomitoxin, zearalenone).

G94-1206 Biosecurity And Disease Prevention For The Ratite Grower, Eva Wallner-Pendleton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide acquaints the ratite grower with management techniques that can help reduce the likelihood of disease introduction and spread on the farm.
Introduction
Infectious diseases always concern people who raise animals, including ratite and poultry producers. In general, the larger the number of animals concentrated in a given area, the more potential there is for diseases to occur. This potential is greatly increased if new animals are frequently introduced. Other ways diseases are spread include allowing visitors near the animals, raising multiple ages close to each other or allowing contact with other species.
As the ratite industry matures, farms …
G4-1228 Wintering And Backgrounding Beef Calves, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, Rick Stock
G4-1228 Wintering And Backgrounding Beef Calves, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, Rick Stock
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses feeding and management practices and possible feeding rations for summer grazing programs or for calves that are weaned and backgrounded before entering a feedlot for finishing.
Reasons for Backgrounding Calves
Backgrounding programs allow calves to grow and develop bone and muscle without becoming fleshy. Reasons for backgrounding weaned calves include:
Calves can be retained rather than sold at weaning when prices are typically low.
Developing replacement heifers.
Allows producers to use inexpensive home-grown feeds, crop residues, and/or pasture to put weight on calves economically.
Can add weight on small to medium framed calves or lightweight calves born …
Ec94-805 Existing Business Retention And Expansion Handbook, Duane A. Olsen, Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel
Ec94-805 Existing Business Retention And Expansion Handbook, Duane A. Olsen, Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Since the mid 1980s more than a dozen communities in Nebraska have carried out the Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) program that is outlined in this handbook. Without exception both the communities and the businesses involved have reported positive results. The BRE program is a stuctured, locally implemented, action oriented economic development project aimed at stimulating local economic development ard growth by helping existing business. This handbook is designed as a guide for community leaders planning to carry out a Business Retention and Expansion program. Due to variations in local needs and resources, communities are encouraged to customize these tools.
Ec95-744 Design And Management Of Storage Containment Of Fertilizer And Pesticides, Robert D. Grisso, Delynn Hay, Gerald R. Bodman
Ec95-744 Design And Management Of Storage Containment Of Fertilizer And Pesticides, Robert D. Grisso, Delynn Hay, Gerald R. Bodman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Storage, handling and disposal of pesticides and fertilizers have been identified by state and federal agencies as practices that create high risks to surface and groundwater quality. This circular is to assist those who need secondary containment for fertilizers and pesticides. This will help develop a construction plan that should meet the State of Nebraska Containment Regulations and assess facility needs, construction materials, size requirements and management needs.

G94-1208 Managing The Alfalfa Weevil, Stephen D. Danielson, Thomas E. Hunt, Keith J. Jarvi
G94-1208 Managing The Alfalfa Weevil, Stephen D. Danielson, Thomas E. Hunt, Keith J. Jarvi
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The identification and life cycle of the alfalfa weevil are discussed along with scouting techniques, economic thresholds, and other integrated pest management tactics.
The alfalfa weevil is the primary insect pest of alfalfa in Nebraska. Management is essential to reduce crop losses, particularly during years when weevil infestation is high. Because there also are years when weevil damage is economically unimportant, it is necessary for growers to become familiar with sampling procedures, management guidelines, and control recommendations so control techniques are not used unnecessarily.
