Evaluation And Practical Use Of Research Results For Developing Grazing Strategies, Patrick Reese
Evaluation And Practical Use Of Research Results For Developing Grazing Strategies, Patrick Reese
Range Beef Cow Symposium
Given the diversity of potential objectives and production environments there are many types of research beyond grazing studies that can be used to design grazing strategies. Management perception and awareness of information are important factors in the development of creative and efficient grazing strategies. Well thought out and clearly documented goals and objectives will help to identify the kind of information that is needed. Grazing strategies should be financially and ecologically sound in respect to management objectives, but most importantly, they should be as simple and risk free as possible. The relative value of any information must be based upon …

Making Riparian Area Protection A Workable Part Of Grazing Management, Quentin D. Skinner
Range Beef Cow Symposium
Riparian areas are recognized as the green area immediately adjacent to water, such as streams, springs, rivers, ponds, and lakes. They are identified by the presence of vegetation that requires large amounts of water during plant growing seasons (Figure 1). These narrow zones of green vegetation make up only a small proportion of the total area of the lower mountain elevations, foothills, and basin areas of the western United States. They serve as a transition zone between the more plentiful surrounding drier land or (upland) vegetation types and aquatic ecosystems supported by a particular source of water. Because of the …
Increase Profit: Feeding Cows By Body Condition And Production Potential, Ivan G. Rush
Increase Profit: Feeding Cows By Body Condition And Production Potential, Ivan G. Rush
Range Beef Cow Symposium
For the last several years cattlemen have stressed high production, especially weaning weight in their cow calf operations. It was felt, m order to be profitable output from the cow herd must be maximized. As a result, of selection for both growth and milking ability of the cow has markedly increased weaning weights and in most herds mature cow size has also increased. Compared to 10-12 years ago, today we are producing 90-95% of the beef with 2/3 of the cows.
As we expect more from the cow, nutrient intake must also increase. In many cases producers have been able …
Managing Cow Calf Resources, Bob Taylor
Managing Cow Calf Resources, Bob Taylor
Range Beef Cow Symposium
Effective management involves the decision-making process whereby success can be achieved. Success is the progressive realization of worthwhile goals.
A realistic management goal for profit-oriented cow-calf producers is as follows:
Manage the available resource (optimum combination) for maximum continuing net profit while conserving and improving the resources.
Cow-calf operations have several resource areas that must be profitably managed. These resources are land (forage), cattle, markets, equipment, human (hired labor, management and family) and possibly others. Biological and economical relationships within and between these resource areas that affect productivity and profitability must be understood and managed.
Without question, the human resource …

How Do Resources Influence Time Of Calving: “Why We Calve Early”, John N. Price
Range Beef Cow Symposium
When I was asked to give this presentation on “WHY WE CALVE EARLY” I said this is easy “because it works for us.” Now that I sit down and think about why it works I find myself going over five generations of inspirations, frustrations, work, sleepless nights, and determination to understand why “IT WORKS FOR US”.

Evaluating Profitability Of The Cow Herd: Basics Of Financial Record Keeping, Norman L. Dalsted, Paul H. Gutierrez
Range Beef Cow Symposium
It has often been said, “The only certain thing in this world is change.” This is, without a doubt, quite true in production agriculture. Changes in the beef cattle industry come in the form of technology, markets, weather, consumer preferences, etc. These changes present challenges and hardship to some and to others opportunities and profits. Another interesting thing about change is that we and/or the industry are, for whatever reason, often slow to adapt and adopt.
In this presentation, we will talk about some of the changes that are being suggested in beef production and financial records; and the analytical …
Prevention And Control Of Trichomoniasis, William G. Kvasnicka
Prevention And Control Of Trichomoniasis, William G. Kvasnicka
Range Beef Cow Symposium
Weather, nutrition, public land policy, marketing options, and diseases all influence the sustainability and profitability of cow-calf enterprises in the United States. One of the diseases is trichomoniasis. It is a venereal disease of cattle causing reproductive failure and considerable economic loss in areas of the world where natural breeding is used.(1,2) The disease is one of the most common infectious diseases causing decreased reproductive efficiency in beef cattle in the western United States.(1)

Are Your Range Cattle Wormy: Does It Make “Cents” To De-Worm?, William R. Jolley
Range Beef Cow Symposium
Range cattle provide room and board for a large variety of flatworm and roundworm parasites. A parasite is by definition an agent that inflicts a degree of harm to a host, and the damage caused depends on the innate abilities, size of the population, duration of infection and other factors tied to the parasite. Host-related factors are also important, including breed, age, sex and condition. The damage to animals may be obvious, with clinical signs including diarrhea, loss of weight, “bottle jaw” (swelling under the jaw), rough hair coat, reproductive/breeding dysfunction and, in severe cases, feed waste due to an …

Hepatic Microsomal N-Hydroxylation Of Aniline And 4-Chloroaniline By Rainbow Trout (Onchorhyncus Mykiss), Steven P. Bradbury, J. M. Dady, A. D. Hoffman, M. M. Voit, D. L. Olson
Hepatic Microsomal N-Hydroxylation Of Aniline And 4-Chloroaniline By Rainbow Trout (Onchorhyncus Mykiss), Steven P. Bradbury, J. M. Dady, A. D. Hoffman, M. M. Voit, D. L. Olson
Steven P. Bradbury
N-Hydroxylation of aniline and 4-chloroaniline was quantified in rainbow trout microsomal preparations using h.p.l.c.-liquid scintillation methods. Radioactive phenylhydroxylamine and 4-chlorophenylhydroxylamine metabolites were identified by co-elution with non-labelled standards. The method provided resolution of metabolite standards, and quantification of both N-hydroxylated metabolites was achieved without derivatization. The maximum velocities at 25 degrees C were 33.8 +/- 1.40 and 22.0 +/- 0.98 pmol/min per mg for aniline and 4-chloroaniline N-hydroxylation, respectively. The Km values were 1.0 +/- 0.11 and 0.8 +/- 0.11 mM for aniline and 4-chloroaniline N-hydroxylation, respectively. These activities were not induced by treatment of the trout with Aroclor 1254 …

The 1991 Census Of Least Terns And Piping Plovers In Nebraska, John G. Sidle, Erika C. Wilson, John Dinan, Jeanine Lackey, Greg Wingfield, Barbara K. Good
Nebraska Bird Review
We counted least terns (Sterna antillarum) and piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) in Nebraska during June and July, 1991. This undertaking was part of an international effort to census the threatened piping plover throughout Canada and the United States. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (1988) has called for the censusing of piping plovers every five years to monitor the status of the species and to gage the effectiveness of recovery efforts. This first international census of the piping plover has been organized by the USFWS's Great Lakes/Northern Great Plains Piping Plover recovery team. The census …

Estimates Of Genetic Parameters For Direct And Maternal Effects On Embryonic Survival In Swine, Luis T. Gama, Keith G. Boldman, Rodger K. Johnson
Estimates Of Genetic Parameters For Direct And Maternal Effects On Embryonic Survival In Swine, Luis T. Gama, Keith G. Boldman, Rodger K. Johnson
Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications
Survival of 16,838 potential embryos was determined by counting corpora lutea and fetuses at 50 d of gestation for 1,081 litters by 225 sires. These data, coded as 1 or 0 depending on whether an ovulation was represented by a fetus, were used to estimate direct and maternal additive genetic variances and their covariance for embryonic survival. Data were from fist-parity gilts of a Large White-Landrace composite population subdivided into two lines, one selected for an index of ovulation rate and embryonic survival for seven generations and a contemporary control line. Variance components were obtained by ANOVA and expectations of …

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications
Components of variance due to average effects of genes (σ g2), environmental effects common to littermates (σ c2), and environmental effects peculiar to individual pigs (σ e2 )were estimated (ˆ) by the Pseudo Expectation Approach (PE). Data were litter size (LS), backfat (BF; centimeter) and ADG (kilograms/day) collected from the Nebraska Gene Pool swine population between 1967 and 1986. Mean square errors (MSE) for ĥ2 and ĉ2 (ôg2 and ôc2 divided by phenotypic variance) by PE and nested ANOVA and h2 estimated by offspring on parent regression (REGOP) …

Effects Of Selection Of Data On Estimates Of Breeding Values By Three Methods For Litter Size, Backfat, And Average Daily Gain In Swine, T. E. Long, R. K. Johnson, J. W. Keele
Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications
Estimated breeding value was calculated based on individual phenotype (SP), an index of individual phenotype and full- and half-sib family averages (SI), or Best Linear Unbiased Rediction (BLUP). Traits considered were litter size (LS), backfat (BF), and ADG. Estimated breeding values were calculated using all data and after deletion of the poorest 5, 10, 15, or 20% of the records for BF and ADG, or 4.8, 8, 13, or 21% of the records for LS. When ail data were used, expected genetic gain from BLUP was greater than for SP by 22,7, and 31% and greater than for SI by …
