Life Cycle And Development Of Prosthorhynchus Formosus (Van Cleave, 1918) Travassos, 1926, An Acanthocephalan Parasite Of Birds, Gerald D. Schmidt, O. Wilford Olsen

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications

The life cycle of Prosthorhynchus formosus (Van Cleave, 1918) Travassos, 1926 is presented. The terrestrial isopods Armadillidium vulgare, Porcellio laevis, and P. scaber served as experimental intermediate hosts, and chickens and turkeys as experimental definitive hosts. After ingestion of the eggs by the isopod, the acanthor emerges from its shells within 15 minutes to 2 hours, enters the gut wall of its host, and remains there 15 to 25 days. It then migrates to the hemocoel and develops through the acanthella stage to the infective cystacanth by the 60th to 65th day of infection.

Field Corn Production For Grain Or Silage In Northern Utah 1962 Costs And Returns, Earnest M. Morrison

Utah Resources Series

Field corn for grain, silage, or pasturing has been produced in Utah since its settlement by the Mormon Pioneers. Those reporting data, however, have made no division of production and value of the different uses of corn until recent years. Previous to 1959 all field corn was reported in grain equivalents for the state as a whole. No county data are reported in Utah except by the Agricultural Census and, hence, only at 5 year intervals. While there has always been some corn harvested for grain each year, the bulk of the corn grown in Utah has been for silage. …

Comparison Of Two Fractionation Methods In The Study Of Muscle Lipids From Grain- And Grass-Finished Beef, Laura Elizabeth Taylor

Masters Theses

Possible differences in composition of fat from grain- and grass-finished beef have been of interest at the University of Tennessee since Meyer et al. (1960) reported the fat of grain-finished beef to be superior in flavor to that of grass-finished beef. In later work the fat from animals of these two types of finish differed chiefly in the proportion of phospholipids and in the degree of saturation of the phospholipids (Cook, 1963; Nutt, 1963).

Observations of other workers also have focused attention on lipid fractions. Early studies showed a correlation between muscle activity and phospholipid content (Bloor, 1927; Bloor …

Tb12: Preliminary Fresh And Dry Weight Tables For Seven Tree Species In Maine, Harold E. Young, Lars Strand, Russell Altenberger

Technical Bulletins

The studies on which the tables in this publication were based establish that data on the complete tree can be obtained by employing modern harvesting equipment thus eliminating a problem of measurement that has been impossible or difficult for hundreds of years. The tables in this publication are based on a limited amount of data obtained in a small area. However, these indicate the method and they can be useful guides for professional foresters and helpful to research workers who are seeking improved techniques for biological investigations such as site productivity. They are a beginning in an approach to a …

Tb13: The Use Of Aerial Photographs In Studies Of Marsh Vegetation, David P. Olson

Technical Bulletins

B633: The Production Of Specific Pathogen Free Broilers In Maine, H. L. Chute, D. R. Stauffer, D. C. O'Meara

Bulletins

This bulletin describes the methods used and results obtained in the production of broiler chickens free of the common poultry diseases. It is hoped that this study may serve as a guide to those wishing to eradicate or control some of the common disease problems in broiler production.

Preserve And Use Tobacco Stalks, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

When Kentucky's 1964 tobacco crop is stripped , there will be about 176,000 tons of stalks in and around stripping barns. There will be more than $2 million worth of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in them.

If these stalks are left outside the barn and exposed to winter rains, 61 percent of the nitrogen, 38 percent of the phosphorus, 83 percent of the potassium and 41 percent of the organic matter may be lost.

Forestry Bulletin No. 6: Point-Sampling From Two Angles, Ellis V. Hunt Jr, Robert D. Baker, Lloyd A. Biskamp

The Effect Of Variables On The Penetration Of Starch Applied At The Size Press, John Hartman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The literature from 1925 until the present was searched as it related to the above topic. It was organized into three areas. The first relates the reasons for surface sizing a sheet and how penetration affects them. The second topic states the beliefs as to which variables affect penetration and how they are believed to affect it. The last area concerns the work that has been done in this field. This work has been looking due to a lack of good procedure. Some work has been done on starch coating adhesives and this was searched for useable technique.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xli. Observations On Cestodes Of The Genus Diplogonoporus Lönnberg, 1892 (Diphyllobothriidae), Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications

The study of a collection of cestodes assigned to the genus Diplogonoporus Lönnberg, 1892 disclosed but two species, D. balaenopterae Lönnberg, 1892, and D. tetrapterus (von Siebold, 1848) (provis.). These cestodes occur characteristically in marine mammals but occasionally are found in terrestrial hosts; D. balaenopterae is recorded for the first time from the domestic dog, and it is concluded that D. grandis (Blanchard, 1894), from man, is conspecific with D. balaenopterae. The latter species is recorded for the first time from the humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae (Borowski). The relatively small D. tetrapterus, a common parasite of the Steller …

The Specific Status Of The Narrow-Skulled Vole (Subgenus Stenocranius Kashchenko) In North America, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications

On morphological and zoogeographical grounds, discussed in the present paper, it is concluded that the narrow-skulled vole in North America, previously designated Microtus (Stenocranius) miurus Osgood, is conspecific with the Eurasian M. (Stenocranius) gregalis Pallas. Fourteen subspecies in Eurasia and 5 in North America are now recognized, but it is probable that the number in Eurasia will be reduced through future investigation. The Eurasian subspecies of this vole comprise two major groups, of which one occupies the tundra zone and the other occurs across central Asia below latitude 60° N; their geographic ranges are largely separate …

Preliminary Fresh And Dry Weight Tables For Seven Tree Species In Maine, Harold E. Young, Lars Strand, Russell Altenberger

Aspen Bibliography

Long range forecasts of the use of wood, independently prepared by the Forestry and Forest Products Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome and the Standard Research Institute in California, concluded that in the foreseeable future there will be only a slight increase in the consumption of lumber but a rapidly increasing use of products made from wood fiber such as paper and paperboard.

Since 1955 the use of weight as a basic unit of measurement for roundwood and chips has increased more rapidly than the consumption of products made from such material. In some portions of the …

Use Of Phosphate Fertilizers And Bedding To Preserve Manures, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

Superphosphate fertilizers added to farm manures as they accumulate in barns, feed lots, and loafing areas will reduce the loss of nitrogen as gaseous ammonia.

Effects Of River Flow Regulation By Salem Church Dam On Marine Organisms, J. D. Andrews

Reports

This report is concernen primarily with the effects on oysters and some of their associates of hydrographic changes that would be caused by the dam. Other marine organisms are certain to be affected in ways only vaguely preceived at present. The distribution and activity of oyster drills and certain diseases of oysters, such as those caused by MSX and Dermocystidium, are regulated annually or at intervals of several years by low spring salinities and high summer and fall salinities.

Farm Manures, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

More than 16 million tons of farm manures valued at more than $47 million are produced on Kentucky farms each year.

Almost half of these manures accumulate in barns, feedlots, and loafing areas. A large part of this will accumulate in these areas between now and pasture time next spring. These manures must be removed from time to time and the cost of handling is unavoidable. Preserving their value and using them wisely on crops and soils that benefit from them will give a fair return on handling costs.

Tb10: A Comparison Of Arch-Yarding And Ground-Skidding Of Pine Sawlogs In The University Of Maine Forest, Henry A. Plummer, Roger F. Taylor

Technical Bulletins

The decision whether to use a trailing-arch or operate by ground-skidding methods may face many sawlog producers. This case study attempted to determine statistically whether there existed significant differences between the two methods of operation by examining the various activities performed by a crawler-type tractor within the arch-yarding and ground-skidding phases of a harvesting system.
