Structure And Trophic Ecology Of A Low Latitude Midwater Decapod And Mysid Assemblage, Thomas L. Hopkins, Mark E. Flock, John V. Gartner Jr, Joseph J. Torres

Marine Science Faculty Publications

The micronektonic crustacean assemblage in the eastern Gulf of Mexico is an extension of the low latitude Atlantic and Caribbean faunas. Species showed highly varying diel distribution patterns ranging from a strong vertical migration to the epipelagic zone to absence of any migration resulting in a permanent residence deep in the mesopelagic zone. As in other low latitude areas, decapod species with variegated pigment patterns centered above 650 m during the day, whereas 'all-red' species centered below this depth. Standing stocks were estimated at 0.18 g dry wt m-2 and 3 ind. m-2 in the upper 1000 m. Diet analysis …

Effect Of Morning, Evening Or Twice Daily Feeding On Yearling Steer Performance, J. S. Knutsen, J. J. Vetos, R. H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 1994

The impact of morning (0730), evening (1 600), and twice daily (0730/1600) feeding on feedlot performance was evaluated in yearling steers fed high grain diets. Exp. 1 was conducted from July 20 to October 12, 1993. The 92% concentrate diets were based on dry whole shelled corn. There were four pen replicates per treatment. Exp. 2 was conducted from January 6 to May 10, 1994. The 93% concentrate diets were based on a 50/50 blend of dry whole shelled corn and high moisture corn. There were six pen replicates per treatment. In Exp. 1 evening feeding increased (P<.06) average daily gain and improved (P< .06) feed/gain over morning feeding. The most pronounced effects were during the initial 28 days of the 84-day experiment. Performance of steers fed twice daily was intermediate to evening and morning treatments. Twice daily feeding improved performance over morning feeding (average daily gain, P<.10; feed/gain P<.01). Most of this response occurred during the final 28 days of the experiment. During Exp. 2 there were treatment effects on interim period performance but no responses (P>.10) occurred …

Rp94-374 A Parent's Guide To Children's Weight

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Weight is one of the many personal characteristics that distinguish children from each other. It has implications for both the physical and mental health of the child. Unfortunately, it also has the potential for causing many parent-child disagreements about what is or is not eaten and in what amounts.

This research publication answers the following questions:

What is the "right" weight for my child?

What can parents do to help a child who is medically defined as overweight or obese?

How can parents help an underweight child?

What can parents do to help children reach and maintain their best weight? …

G94-1192 Feeding Dairy Cows With Limited High Quality Forage, Rick J. Grant

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

During excessively wet or dry years, there is a wide range of forage quality with most dairy producers forced to feed at least some moderate to poor quality forage. This NebGuide discusses basic alterations in the feeding strategy to help cope with minimal reductions in milk yield.

G94-1201 Feeding The Dry Cow, Rick J. Grant

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.

Goats - Nutrition And Feeding, Andrew C. Dunlop

Bulletins 4000 -

The nutritional needs of goats are similar to those of sheep. They both require energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and water to survive and be productive. For optimum performance these nutrients should be supplied constantly and in relatively fixed proportions. An excess of protein, vitamins or minerals will not make up for a shortfall in energy, nor will a shortfall in protein, vitamins or minerals be made up by an excess of energy. Goats' nutrient requirements depend on their size, whether the goat is pregnant, lactating, growing or just maintaining body functions.
