G95-1262 Feeding The Beef Cow Herd--Part Ii Managing The Feeding Program, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, Don C. Adams

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Feed costs are the cow/calf producer's greatest expense in producing a weaned calf. To remain competitive, cow/calf operators must use economical feeding programs. It is important to match the available feed resources with the nutrient requirements of the first-calf-heifer and cow. Both over- and underfeeding the cow herd can lead to high production costs.

Nutrient requirements for heifers calving as 2-year-olds and cows calving as 3-year-olds and older are shown in Table I. Beef cows are seldom fed complete rations where ingredients are weighed daily. Generally, most of a cow's ration is forages such as: 1) summer and winter range, …

Rp489 Impacting Private Sector Policy For Families, Georgia L. Stevens

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Who is caring for families(*) these days? Historically, we've had the notion that families needed to be self-sufficient. But, today, dramatic changes in family structure and family member's employment have shifted this thinking. As family policy educator and researcher Shirley Zimmerman (personal communication, April 26, 1993) states,

"increasingly it is recognized that the well-being of families is dependent on the functioning of other societal institutions, such as government and business. For this reason, government is taking an expanding interest in the role of the private sector, namely business and industry, for ensuring the health and economic security of workers and …

G95-1269 Creating Sustainable Families, Herbert G. Lingren

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses strategies for strengthening interpersonal family relationships.

As the 20th century draws to a close, there has been increasing concern about the family's ability to cope with the multiple stressors and demands placed upon it. Is the family still capable of providing a safe, nurturing, and wholesome place where children can grow up to become competent, productive adults? The current divorce rate claims one in two first marriages. Alcoholism among adults and youth is a major social and family problem. Reports of domestic violence and child abuse have increased 500 - 700 percent in the past 25 years. …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication describes efficiency and design factors to consider when selecting a ventilation fan. Basic maintenance procedures needed for efficient operation are also discussed.

G95-1242 Ventilation Fans: Performance, Gerald R. Bodman, David P. Shelton

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication describes how to use fan performance and system resistance data to achieve the desired effect and efficiency of a ventilation system.

Many people perceive ventilation simply as a fan. However, effective ventilation of a livestock building or the aeration of stored grain requires a complete ventilation system.

A simple ventilation system may consist of fans to move the air, inlets or outlets for air distribution, and manual controls. More complex systems may include ducts, perforated floors, automatic controls, and other components. Regardless, all components must be carefully designed, selected, installed, managed, and maintained to achieve satisfactory results.
