Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments In 1978-79, Bruce Johnson, Ronald J. Hanson

Nebraska Farm Real Estate Reports

Farm real estate values in Nebraska have trended upward for several decades with only a few interruptions. In Nebraska as well as most of the Nation, dramatic increases have occurred within the last six years. The year 1978-79 was no exception.

Data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for February 1, 1979 showed a 22 percent increase in the average value of Nebraska farmland from a year earlier. This was certainly in contrast to the 4 percent drop in land values reported for 1977-78.

Results of the second annual Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Survey conducted by the Department …

Bulletin 3967 - Cyanogenetic Plants Of Western Australia, T E H Aplin

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

This article deals with those native, naturalized and cultivated plants, which by virtue of contained cyanogenetic glycosides, are known to be poisonous or potentially poisonous to livestock in Western Australia.

Cyanogenetic glycosides are chemical compounds which contain a cyanogen (cyanide) radical combined with a sugar molecule. The sugar moiety may differ in glycosides obtained from different plants, and as a consequence glycosides from different plants, containing different sugar moieties, may be given different names.

When a cyanogenetic glycoside is broken down by enzyme action, through injury to the plant or by microbial action in the digestive system of the animal, …

Flowering Vegetation Of South Texas As An Aggregation Site For Screwworm Flies, Cochliomyia Hominivorax (Coquerel), Geral Lenford Long

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

Flowering vegetation was investigated to determine its potential as an aggregation site for the mating of screwworm flies, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel). Fly activity was observed at vegetation on a typical south Texas shrub community. Noted were the species of vegetation present and the phenology of their flowering. Screwworm flies were found to be attracted to specific species of brush; however, in the absence of the most attractive species, the flies responded to secondary species. Both feeding and mating behavior were observed on vegetation.

Olfaction and visual mechanisms of aggregation were investigated. Results from an olfactometer showed the attractancy of some …

Bulletin 3992 - Nitrogenous Fertilisers For Cereal Production, M. G. Mason

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

Because fertiliser prices continue to rise, it is becoming increasingly important to understand what affects the response to fertilisers by crops.

Among the many factors influencing crop response to nitrogen applications, the most important are the season, soil type, paddock history, time of application and source of nitrogen. Before deciding whether to use nitrogen on a cereal crop, which source to use and at what rate, the farmer needs some understanding of how these factors work.

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This bulletin reports on a practical multi-period linear programming procedure as a management tool for decisions on placements and marketings for a beef feedlot operating over time under market uncertainty. Although the conclusions were based on application to an individual firm with uniqueness in time and space, the model should be equally appropriate for any firm's production and marketing decisions through time.

G79-476 Composition Of Feeds In Relation To Cattle Nutrition, Paul Q. Guyer, Foster G. Owen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide examines the major nutritional components of cattle feed. Plants serve as the major source of feed for livestock. Nutrients required for maintenance and production are provided by various plants and plant derived feeds along with small amounts from non-plant sources. The major constituents of plants are water, carbohydrates, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Both plants and animals contain these nutrients, but the relative proportions vary more in plants.

G79-465 Urinary Calculi (Waterbelly) In Cattle And Sheep, Ivan G. Rush, Dale Grotelueschen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication discusses the symptoms, management and treatment of various types of urinary calculi diseases in cattle and sheep.

The term "urinary calculi" refers to deposits in the urinary tract. These deposits may block the flow of urine, particularly in male cattle and sheep. Prolonged blockage generally results in rupture of the urinary bladder or urethra, releasing urine into the surrounding tissues. This produces the condition commonly referred to as "waterbelly."

Two types of urinary calculi, both mineral in nature, predominate in cattle and sheep: (1) the phosphatic type formed principally under feedlot conditions and (2) the siliceous type occurring …

G79-467 Livestock Water Quality, Paul Q. Guyer

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The purpose of this report is to discuss what is involved in livestock water quality and how one goes about getting an analysis that will help in determining this quality, and to assist in the interpretation of such an analysis.

A successful livestock enterprise requires a good water supply, both in terms of quantity and quality. While shortage is obvious to the stockowner, he sometimes needs the help of a laboratory in evaluating the quality of a supply. The purpose of this report is to discuss what is involved in livestock water quality and how one goes about getting an …

G79-434 Feeding Guides For The Ewes, Ted Doane

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

In utilizing the information in this publication, the sheepman and those advising him must keep in mind the ultimate objectives of the production program in question.

The major problem in nutrition is the definition of the desired animal function. Maintenance of the ewe, for example, is generally thought of in terms of the dry ewe. Yet maintenance of productive functions is a constant cost in ewe nutrition, whether she is pregnant, lactating, dry, or in the process of being bred for another year.

In utilizing the information in this publication, the sheepman and those advising him must keep in mind …

Wheat Straw And Sodium Hydroxide Treatment In Beef Cow Rations, C. W. Acock, J. K. Ward, Ivan G. Rush, T. J. Klopfenstein

Panhandle Research and Extension Center

Two cow drylot wintering trials and a lamb digestion trial were conducted to evaluate wheat straw in maintenance diets for gestating beef cows. Wheat straw or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treated wheat straw, when fed ad libiturn with one-third alfalfa hay, supported gestating cow weight gains equivalent to a limitfed alfalfa-bromegrass diet. Cows fed NaOH treated wheat straw supplemented with soybean meal and minerals gained less weight (P<.01) than cows on the other treatments. Calf birth weights, calving difficulty and subsequent reproductive performance of the cows were similar for all treatments. Apparent digestibility of wheat straw was increased (P<.01) by 4% NaOH treatment in a lamb digestion trial but was not altered by balancing the sodium intake with other specific minerals. The increase in digestibility of wheat straw due to NaOH treatment was greater in vitro than in vivo.

Evaluation Of Body Size Parameters In Elite Angus Cattle, Wilson Stone

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The cattle shown at the prestigious All-American Angus Futurity were studied in order to evaluate the relationship between various body measurements. The measurements taken included wither height, hip height, body length, fat thickness,and weight. Also, these measurements were analyzed in order to determine if Angus cattle had gained in genetic frame size. Data were collected for the 805 animals shown in the years 1974 through 1978.

The cattle were grouped into classes based upon sex and age prior to any statistical procedures being performed. Means of classes were used in order to evaluate sex differences and bulls were found to …
