G92-1111 Mineral And Vitamin Nutrition Of Dairy Cattle, Rick J. Grant
G92-1111 Mineral And Vitamin Nutrition Of Dairy Cattle, Rick J. Grant
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide focuses on the best sources of minerals and vitamins, current requirements for production, and feeding practices to best meet these requirements and promote health and productivity of dairy cattle. Dairy cattle require at least 17 minerals and three vitamins in their diet for optimal milk production, reproductive performance, and herd health. Although classical mineral or vitamin deficiency symptoms are rare, in many cases under- and overfeeding of certain minerals and vitamins does occur. Even small imbalances or deficiencies can develop into reproductive, health, and milk production problems. As herd milk production averages in Nebraska climb, it will become …
G92-1070 Feeding Dairy Cattle For Proper Body Condition Score, Rick Grant, Jeffrey F. Keown
G92-1070 Feeding Dairy Cattle For Proper Body Condition Score, Rick Grant, Jeffrey F. Keown
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes feeding and management practices that allow the producer to control body condition throughout lactation and the dry period.
Body condition score is a critical measure of a dairy feeding system's effectiveness. Adequate body fat reserves promote milk production, reproductive efficiency, and herd longevity. Excessively fat cows or overly thin cows run much greater risks of metabolic problems, lower milk yield, poor conception rates, and dystocia (difficult calving). Failure to attain proper body condition or rapid changes in body condition score during early lactation may indicate problems in herd health or feeding management.
G92-1118 Forage Allocation System For Dairy Producers -- Using A Forage Inventory And Allocation Worksheet, Rick J. Grant
G92-1118 Forage Allocation System For Dairy Producers -- Using A Forage Inventory And Allocation Worksheet, Rick J. Grant
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides a worksheet to organize your forage inventory and properly allocate forages of different qualities to various groups of cows.
Importance of Forage Quality
Properly feeding high quality forage to the dairy herd improves the profitability of the dairy enterprise. A dairy herd demonstration program involving 28 herds in Nebraska illustrated the importance of feeding high quality forage. Herds which improved forage quality over the two-year program produced 30 percent more milk yearly, with over 8 percent less feed cost compared with those herds that failed to feed high quality forage. University of Wisconsin research indicates maximum milk …

G92-1065 How Is Your Family's Well-Being?, Herbert G. Lingren
G92-1065 How Is Your Family's Well-Being?, Herbert G. Lingren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Whether or not the family is a healthy, cohesive, and nourishing unit depends on the individual family members and the ways in which they contribute to it.
Being in good health has become a growing concern throughout our society. Great emphasis is placed on nutrition and exercise to keep our bodies slim, trim, and healthy. Unfortunately, somewhere between the sit-ups and the natural foods, we've forgotten that our family's "well-being" may also need a "checkup" and a "workout."
It takes much more than exercise and a balanced diet to keep a family "fit." Whether or not the family is a …

How often have you heard these statements? "You're not listening to me!"... "Why don't you let me finish what I'm saying?"... "If you only let me, I'll tell you!"... "I may as well be talking to a brick wall!... "You just don't understand!"... "But that's not what I said!"
If you hear any of these comments coming from your partner, children, friends, or co-workers, perhaps it's true that "you're not listening"--really …
G92-1078 Work And Family: Today's Juggling Act, Hrebert G. Lingren
G92-1078 Work And Family: Today's Juggling Act, Hrebert G. Lingren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Working families are under stress as they try to balance demands of job, children and spouse. Strategies are needed to prevent stress overload and burnout.
Over the past 25 years, women's and men's roles have changed dramatically. Today's women are better educated, have better paying jobs and are having fewer children. Women represent 45 percent of the labor force, nearly 80 percent work outside the home and 75 percent of mothers of young children are employed.
As women have entered and stayed in the work force in ever-increasing numbers, the dual-earner family has emerged. Married couple earners comprise more than …

A quarter of the flora consists of non-native species. Taxa not previously reported in Iowa include: Amsinckia intermedia, Brassica kaber, Cardaria chalapensis, Callirhoe bushii, Carex mesochorea, Eleocharis xyridiformis, Euphorbia prostrata, Lactuca saligna, Leontodon autumnalis, Scirpus mucronatus, Sclerochloa dura, and Vernonia arkansana.
The Distribution Of Amphipods In Southeastern Minnesota And Their Relation To Water Quality And Land Use, James A. Muck, Raymond M. Newman
The Distribution Of Amphipods In Southeastern Minnesota And Their Relation To Water Quality And Land Use, James A. Muck, Raymond M. Newman
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
The distribution of the amphipods Gammarus pseudolimnaeus and Hyalella azteca was determined from 97 designated trout streams in Minnesota, along with temperature, conductivity, and nitrate levels. Streams were classified into 4 land use/geology groups. G. pseudolimnaeus was found in 11 counties and at 123 of 168 sites in 83 of the 97 streams sampled. Hyalella azteca was found in 7 counties at 26 sites m 21 streams. Spearman rank correlations showed a high degree of correlation between nitrate (range: 0-11 mg N/L), conductivity (range: 325-870 μS/cm), and geology. The relative abundance of G. pseudolimnaeus was negatively correlated with nitrate, geology …

Geology Of Iowa Fens, C. A. Thompson, E. A. Bettis Iii, R. G. Baker
Geology Of Iowa Fens, C. A. Thompson, E. A. Bettis Iii, R. G. Baker
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
Fens are peatlands which are dependent on groundwater discharge to provide nutrient enrichment. Fens are found in a variety of landscape positions and in most Iowa landform regions. This paper presents a classification system for Iowa fens based on landscape position, stratigraphy, and hydrologic factors. Iowa fens can be separated into six categories: 1) fens along valley wall slopes; the groundwater source for these fens is sand and gravel buried between glacial tills (inter-till); 2) fens in hummocky topography on the northwestern margin of the Des Moines Lobe landform region; the water source is sand and gravel buried within glacial …
Necklace Radio Transmitter Attachment For Pheasants, Terry Z. Riley, Bruce A. Fistler
Necklace Radio Transmitter Attachment For Pheasants, Terry Z. Riley, Bruce A. Fistler
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
We tested a pre-assembled, necklace-radio-transmitter-attachment design on female ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) in northern Iowa. Birds were captured by nightlighting and bait trapping between September 1989 and March 1990. Radio transmitters were attached to 128 using a wire necklace. Two birds had problems adapting to the necklace, and 3 birds removed them. Twenty-three birds were still alive and wearing necklaces at the end of the study, for an average of 318 (SD= ± 52) days. Ease of attachment, long durability, light weight, and minimal bulk make the necklace an effective alternative to harness and poncho mounts.

More papers will follow in future issues, and new contributors are welcome.
History Of Mammal Study In Iowa, John B. Bowles
History Of Mammal Study In Iowa, John B. Bowles
Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS
The first records of mammals in Iowa were from explorers, survey parties heading westward and early seeders. Generation of checklists of state mammals began in 1840 and culminated with the annotated list by Scott (1937) and biogeographic analysis by Bowles (1975). Recent focus has been on rare species status and mammalian ecology, e.g., Loess Hills, riparian habitat, agricultural practices, and reestablished grasslands.
