Classifying Livestock Grazing Behavior With The Use Of A Low Cost Gps And Accelerometer, Jameson Brennan, Ken Olson, Patricia Johnson, Janna Block, Chris Schauer
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
The ability to remotely track livestock through the use of GPS technology has tremendous potential to study livestock use patterns on the landscape. The use of high frequency accelerometers may give researchers and managers the ability to accurately partition GPS points into differing behaviors, giving further insight into livestock grazing selection, pasture use, and changes in forage preference through time. The objectives of this study were to 1) develop a classification algorithm to discriminate between graze and non-graze behaviors using a combination of metrics derived from a high frequency accelerometer motion sensor and a GPS data logger and 2) assess …

Estimating The Effects Weather, Dry Matter Intake, And Body Weight On Daily Water Intake In Weaned Calves, Z. S. Mcdaniel, M. G. Gonda, C. L. Wright
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Water is an essential nutrient and is required for growth, metabolism, lactation, and reproduction. However, water requirements for beef cattle have not been studied extensively since the 1950’s. The genetic potential for beef cattle has changed considerably since then. With the change in genetics, beef producers have observed increases in average daily gain and final body weight. The need for updated water requirements for beef cattle has also been exacerbated by global climate variability, drought conditions, and the need for efficient use of water resources. Given the increased productivity of cattle today relative to those of decades ago, increased water …

Sdsu Beef 2020 Increases Beef Industry Knowledge For Participants, C. Bakker, K. Underwood, J. K. Grubbs, J. Walker, C. Wright, K. Olson, W. Rusche, A. Blair
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the SDSU Beef 2020 program on increasing participant knowledge and impacting production practices. Unlike the pork or poultry industries, the US beef industry is not vertically integrated, and as a result the beef supply is managed by producers in a variety of roles. While these producers are knowledgeable about their specific sector, some may not be as familiar with the other aspects of beef production. South Dakota State University hosts an Extension program entitled Beef 2020 with the goal of bridging this knowledge gap.

Grazing Behavior, Forage Quality, And Intake Rates Of Livestock Grazing Pastures Occupied By Prairie Dogs, Jameson R. Brennan, Ken Olson, Patricia Johnson, Janna Block, Chris Schauer
SDSU Beef Day 2020 Summary Publication
Prairie dogs can reduce the carrying capacity on rangelands by up to 50% through direct consumption of vegetation and by clipping plants to improve predator detection. Studies have shown that forage quality and digestibility are greater on prairie dog towns than off-town, however research is lacking that quantifies rates of forage and nutrition intake by cattle grazing pastures occupied by prairie dogs. The objectives of this study were to 1) evaluate relationships between on- and off-town plant communities and cattle grazing locations to identify trends in livestock grazing behavior throughout the growing season, 2) evaluate diet nutrient composition and intake …

Conservation Status Of The Recently Described Ecuadorian Amazon Parrot Amazona Lilacina, Rebecca Biddle, Ivette Solis Ponce, Paul Cun, Simon Tollington, Martin Jones, Stuart Marsden, Christian Devenish, Eric Horstman, Karl S. Berg, Mark Pilgrim
School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences (Formerly Dept. of Biology)
Amazona lilacina is a threatened species endemic to Ecuador, existing across a patchwork of mangroves, lowland coastal forests, agricultural and community owned land. The species was described in 2014 and listed as ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List, however, full assessment of the population was lacking. Using a combination of field observations, roost surveys and community questionnaires, conducted over the last 20 years, we provide up-to-date information on the species’ Extent of Occurrence, estimate its global population size, and evaluate its level of threat. Our results suggest the species occurs across an area of 19,890 km2 in three distinct geographically …

Anaplasmosis In Dogs, Department Of Primary Industries And Regional Development, Western Australia
Biosecurity factsheets
Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease that occurs in dogs, caused by either the bacteria Anaplasma platys or A. phagocytophila. Illness caused by A. platys and other tick-borne parasites such as Babesia canis vogeli may be colloquially referred to as ‘tick fever’. The disease is thought to be transmitted by the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and possibly lice.
Maturation And Culture Media Effects On In Vitro Bovine Embryo Developmental Competence, Ciara M. Helland
Maturation And Culture Media Effects On In Vitro Bovine Embryo Developmental Competence, Ciara M. Helland
Master's Theses
In vitro produced bovine embryos are critical to the cattle industry. However, these embryos have altered morphology, epigenetics, and metabolism when compared to their in vivo counterparts. The aim of this thesis was to alter maturation and culture media to improve the developmental competence of in vitro bovine embryos. This thesis is comprised of three experiments and one proof of concept study. Each experiment followed the same general layout: oocyte aspiration from Jersey or Holstein ovaries, oocyte maturation for 24 hours, fertilization with bull semen for 24 hours, then embryo culture for 7-8 days in 38.5 °C in 5% O …
Reduction Of Fat Content In Processed Meats Using Hot-Boning And Cold-Batter Mincing Technology, Morgan P. Wonderly
Reduction Of Fat Content In Processed Meats Using Hot-Boning And Cold-Batter Mincing Technology, Morgan P. Wonderly
Master's Theses
Processed meats have received negative publicity due to high fat contents that have been linked to adverse effects on human health. Fat is an essential ingredient in many processed meat products, so reducing this all while maintaining the desired characteristics of the product is a challenge. The purpose of this study was to generate low-fat meat products using a combination of hot-boning/crust-freeze-air-chilling (HB-CFAC) and cold-batter mincing (CBM) technologies. Pork hams were subjected to HB-CFAC or chill-boning/crust-freeze-air-chilling (CB-CFAC) prior to 3 min pre-mincing and 6 min mincing for control gels with back-fat addition or low-fat gels with water addition instead of …

Integrated Management Of Aphis Craccivora In Cowpea Using Intercropping And Entomopathogenic Fungi Under Field Conditions, Allan Mweke, Komivi Senyo Akutse, Christian Ulrichs, Komi Kouma Mokpokpo Fiaboe, Nguya Kalemba Maniania, Sunday Ekesi
All Peer-Reviewed Publications
Cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora, is a major cowpea pest. Cowpea–cereal intercrop alone does not effectively manage the pest. Use of pesticides in intercrop leads to health and environmental risks. Fungal-based biopesticides offer a better option because they are environment-and consumer-friendly. This study assessed the combined effect of Metarhizium anisopliae ICIPE 62 and cowpea–maize intercrop against A. craccivora under six treatments: (1) untreated cowpea monocrop, (2) untreated cowpea–maize intercrop, (3) cowpea monocrop + ICIPE 62, (4) cowpea–maize intercrop + ICIPE 62, (5) cowpea monocrop + Duduthrin insecticide, and (6) cowpea–maize intercrop + Duduthrin during three seasons (long rainy/cold and dry/short rainy). …

Journal of Bioresource Management
Rescue 1122 emergency services in Punjab (Pakistan) also responds to calls when residents feel threatened from wild animals. Emergency calls received between August 2015 and July 2016 recorded 16 arthropod, 25 mammal, 156 bird, 816 reptile and 264 un-identified cases from different parts of the Punjab, which were safely handled and in majority of cases animals were safely released back in nature.
