Rapeseed Cultivation And Usage, M. Dolores Ahles

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Rapeseed, an oil-producing crop that was cultivated in pre-Christian times in India and the Orient but was generally given up, has again become an important source of protein oil and meal. In Canada, now the leading export producer, rapeseed output is surpassed only by wheat, oats, and barley. Cultivation and processing as well as the history of this crop are discussed.

G76-324 Limiting Feed Intake With Salt, T.D. Rich, Steve Armbruster, D.R. Gill

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Cattlemen are aware of the impact high cost labor has on profit; thus, management procedures which reduce labor requirements are important. One management tool frequently used is regulating feed intake with salt.

In addition, self-feeding supplements tend to allow timid, slow-eating cows to get their share and it is an easy method of providing Vitamin A, phosphorus and other feed additives. However, there are disadvantages to feeding salt-concentrate mixes. Salt is not a precise regulator of intake since certain individuals will tolerate more salt than others and abundant water is essential.

Daily salt requirement for mature cattle is less than …

G76-321 Use Of Energy Values In Ration Formulation, Paul Q. Guyer

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide contains information on the use of high energy values in ration formulation.

Ruminants digest feedstuffs primarily by fermentation in the rumen. This allows ruminant animals to use both roughages and grains as sources of carbohydrates for energy. Part of the carbohydrates pass through the rumen and are digested in the abomasum and small intestine. Most carbohydrates in feeds are converted to either acetic, propionic or butyric acid by rumen bacteria and protozoa. These short chain fatty acids are then absorbed through the rumen wall into the blood stream and eventually are used for energy in body tissue.

Evaluation Of Beef Cattle Range Supplements Containing Urea And Biuret, Ivan G. Rush, R. R. Johnson, Robert Totusek

Panhandle Research and Extension Center

Two winter trials were conducted with 304 lactating range cows on dry grass to evaluate non-protein-nitrogen (NPN) in 30% protein supplements containing biuret (pure and feed grade), urea and extruded grain-urea. The NPN sources contributed one-half of the supplemental nitrogen with natural 15 and 30% protein supplements serving as negative and positive controls.
Winter weight loss of cows was greater (P~.02) on the negative than on the positive control in both trials. The apparent utilization of all NPN sources was low and the utilization of urea and extruded grain-urea was less than pure or feed grade biuret. Rumen biuretolytic activity …

580 Extension Plan: 5 Year Plan For Extension & Research By 1980 For Southeast Nebraska, Loyd L. Young, Elizabeth A. Birnstihl

Southeast Research and Extension Center: Reports and Administration

The purpose of this document is to present a series of guide-lines to assist the Extension District V (Southeast Extension District) administrators and staff, the Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and other University administration in moving the District to a high level of 0fficiency in meeting the needs of the people of the District in those areas in which the Extension Service has the legal obligation to serve.

Planning is a continuous process and these planning suggestions are not ends, but steps that can be used in decision making …

A Comparison Of Hay Conservation Systems, E E. Rowley

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

The high cost an dshortage of farm labour in the Esperance District is posing serious problems for farmers using traditional hay conservation systems. Author Ted Rowley, then an advisor with the Esperance District office of the Department of Agriculture surveyed a number of farms to study the economics of varoius alternatives. This article is a summary of his report presented to a 1976 Fodder Conservation Workshop.

Low Protein Rations Halve Bacon Pig Profits, N W. Godfrey

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

For many years the department of agriculture has recommended that pig producers include meat meal or other protein concentrate in pig rations based on cereal grains. However, it is still common for pigs to be raised on cereal grains with little or no protein added.

Recent trials at the Department of Agriculture's Medina Pig Research Station have demonstrated the losses which can result from feeding pigs on low-protein cereal rations.

Bulletin 3955 - The Sheep Skin Industry In W.A., H. E. Fels

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

The sheep skin industry is larger than most people realise. Its importance is shown by F.O.B. values of sheep skin exports from Australia in 1972/73, compared with sheep meats, wheat and iron ore,

F.O.B, values of exports - Australia, 1972/73

Sheep skins, with and without wool on $110 million

Mutton and lamb Exports $119 million

Wheat $274 million

Iron ore and concentrates $439 million

Reevaluation Of Common Wheats From The Usda World Wheat Collection For Protein And Lysine Content, K. P. Vogel, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The protein and lysine content of wheat can be altered by breeding only if genetic variability exists for these traits. Lysine is a nutritionally limiting amino acid in wheat protein. Protein and lysine analyses of the common wheats of the USDA World Wheat Collection indicated that variability does exist for these traits. Some of the variability for protein and lysine among wheats of the World Collection may not be genetic in origin, because all the 12,000 wheats analyzed were not grown in the same environment. The purpose of this study was to reevaluate selected lines from the World Wheat Collection …

Physical And Chemical Properties Of Outdoor Beef Cattle Feedlot Runoff, C. B. Gilbertson, J. R. Ellis, J. A. Nienaber, T. M. Mccalla, T. J. Klopfenstein

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Within the past decade, emphasis has been placed on the quality of our environment. Beef cattle feedlots have been singled out as a significant source of environmental pollution. Environmental protection provided by control facilities requires basic knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of feedlot runoff. This bulletin summarizes studies of physical and chemical properties of beef cattle feedlot runoff completed from August, 1968 through December, 1972.

Trials With Trickle Irrigation Equipment At Morogoro Preliminary Report, M.E. Parkes, M. E. Madata

Tanzania Journal of Science

The use of trickle irrigation is discussed with reference to Tanzania. A split-split plot design experiment is described in which yields of tomato, onion, and cabbage are compared for trickle and hand-irrigated plots, with different levels of fertiliser treatment. Yields for trickle-irrigated plots were significantly greater only for tomatoes. These results were achieved during July to October and a second attempt to grow the same vegetables during December to March was unsuccessful. Further trials are required to obtain a suitable rotation of vegetable crops from both a nutritional and agronomic point of view. Experience with the trickle irrigation equipment is …
