Bulletin No. 325 - An Economic Study Of Sheep Production In Southwestern Utah, Dee A. Broadbent, George T. Blanch, W. Preston Thomas

UAES Bulletins

Range sheep production has been one of the major agricultural enterprises in Utah, particularly in the southwestern part of the state, since these areas were first settled. Stock sheep numbers in Utah were about 2,100,000 by 1890, which is approximately the present number in the state. Since 1890 the numbers have fluctuated between 2,000,000 and 2,775,000.

This important industry has, from the time of its introduction, been closely associated with the use of public range lands. The unrestricted grazing of public range lands resulted in damage to a considerable area and was one of the important factors that led to …

Vitamins For Poultry, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Vitamins are chemical substances essential for the maintenance of life, growth, and reproduction. Their effects are out of proportion to the relatively small amounts required. Fortunately, most of these essentials are widely distributed in nature, and an adequate ration can nearly always be provided by using logical combinations of common feedstuffs. Under certain conditions, however, the use of vitamin-containing concentrates may be desirable. In planning practical rations, it should be recognized that the plant leaf is the source of most vitamins. Milk and meat products make important vitamin contributions to the diet in addition to their proteins and minerals. Direct …

A Comparison Of The Autonomic Nervous System Of The Cat And The Pigeon, William P. Mccarthy

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to describe the autonomic nervous system of the cat and pigeon and to compare them as to their structure. This comparison will consist in noting the differences and points of similarity between the two animals. The autonomic nervous system of the cat is more complex than that of the pigeon and for that reason the comparison will consist in pointing out the parts of the autonomic nervous system present in the cat, but which are not found in the pigeon. In noting the points of similarity only the most important will be treated.

Bulletin No. 324 - Some Physical And Chemical Responses Of Agropyron Spicatum To Herbage Removal At Various Seasons, L. A. Stoddart

UAES Bulletins

Management of arid western ranges must be based upon the physiology of the individual plants which constitute the range. Too little is known of the ability of range plants to continue normal functioning under stress of grazing. Grazing doubtless has some beneficial influences in arid climates because it reduces transpiring surface. Possibly "pruning" has some stimulating effect, especially upon shrubs, and also, grazing animals plant seeds through trampling action. Despite these possible benefits, both trampling and removal of herbage by grazing must be .regarded as fundamentally detrimental to the welfare of plants, especially in arid climates. Trampling, especially on wet …

Studies On The Validity Of Swine Erysipelas Culture-Vaccines, L. Van Es, J. F. Olney, I. C. Blore

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

In countries where vaccination against swine erysipelas has been practiced during the last half century, there is a consensus among veterinarians that the best results are obtained when the live culture-vaccine is not only fresh and highly virulent but is endowed also with a good capacity for growth on artificial culture media. Apparently avirulent culture-vaccines are apt to engender only a transitory immunity or fail altogether. The problem presented by undesirable culture-vaccines was deemed to be of such importance to the swine industry that this Station undertook a series of experiments, to determine what influences might be accountable for the …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Xi. A Comparison Of Ground Wheat And Ground Rye In Rations For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The effect of replacing the shorts and bran of a standard ration by ground wheat or ground rye was studied with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. Comparisons were made on the basis of equal intakes of dry matter and nitrogen by all chicks. 3. The wheat-fed lot made a significantly greater gain than the rye-fed lot. 4. Several cases of curled-toe paralysis occurred in the two lots, and a tendency to cannibalism appeared in the rye-fed lot.

The Effects Of Various Concentrations Of Vitamin B1 On The Growth Of Amoeba Proteus, Walter J. Bo

A Survey Of The Native Rabbits Of Utah With Reference To Their Classification, Distribution, Life Histories And Ecology, Reuel G. Janson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Rabbits and hares, both popularly referred to as rabbits, occupy a very prominent position in the wildlife of Utah. Over much of the state, they form the most conspicuous faunal group, and between the lowest portion of the state to above timberline on the highest mountains there are very few areas entirely devoid or their presence. There is great variation, however, in their abundance, both between localities and times. In some areas, rabbit populations often attain amazingly high numbers to the delight of sportsmen and the dismay of farmers.

A Study Of The Renal Vascular Supply In The Domestic Cat, Elizabeth Rosen

Bachelors’ Theses

Studies on the normal and abnormal vascularization of the renal vessels in the domestic cat (felis domestica) indicate the frequency of anomalies that occur, but in most of the studies it is the inferior vena cava that is most often recorded. Among the occasional references to several renal veins or arteries we have Huntington and McClure, Elmer Butler, Gaylord Bates, William Darrach, and C.H. Fortune. Yet no study seems to have been made of individuals of any particular class. A superficial observation seems to indicate a large number of cats used in the laboratory had multiple renal veins. Hence a …

Mirid-Bug Injury As A Factor In Declining Alfalfa-Seed Yields, Charles J. Sorenson

Faculty Honor Lectures

During the forty or more millions of years that insects have inhabited the earth they have developed remarkable adaptations and great powers of reproduction that have enabled them to spread over most of the world and occupy all of its habitable environments. In cultivating the land and in growing crops, man has disturbed the balance in nature which formerly prevailed. By doing this he has unwittingly assisted many insect species to multiply in unprecedented numbers by providing them with more delectable food in abundance and by transporting them from place to place and from continent to continent in his migrations …

The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. X. A Comparison Of Open-Pollinated And Hybrid Corn In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

1. The effect of replacing the open-pollinated corn with hybrid corn in an otherwise complete ration was studied in a growth and body analysis experiment with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. The pelleted rations were consumed in identical amounts by all chicks of both lots. 3. There were significant differences in the growth rate of the chicks at the end of a six-weeks feeding trial in favor of the lot fed open-pollinated corn.

Length Of Life Of Roots Of Ten Species Of Perennial Range And Pasture Grasses, J. E. Weaver, Ellen Zink

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

It is well known that death of the tops of practically all prairie grasses occurs each fall in temperate grasslands where the soil is regularly frozen. Year after year new shoots replace the old ones in this vegetation of long- lived perennials. But as to what portion of the root system is retained and over what period of time, we are almost without information. This maintains despite the fact that much work has been done to increase our knowledge of the root systems of prairie grasses. Since the early studies of Weaver (6, 7) on their depth and lateral extent, …

Distillers' By-Products And Soybean Meal In Dry Calf Starters For Calves On Limited Quantities Of Milk, H. P. Davis, G. W. Trimberger

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Whole milk is recognized to be very satisfactory as the principal source of nutrients for young growing calves. But the price of milk and its importance as food for human beings has tended to introduce the use of substitutes. Skim milk has been demonstrated to be a satisfactory substitute when fed with grain after the first few weeks of feeding; but since skim milk, too, has become of increased usefulness for human nutrition, this experiment, one of a series, was designed to determine whether or not combinations of various grains, when fortified with vitamins, could be substituted for the solids …

A Discussion Of Ddt Through Questions And Answers, H.C. Severin

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

DDT received and is still receiving more publicity than any insecticide ever enjoyed in the history of man's war with insects. Newspapers, farm journals, cattle magazines, horticultural publications, women's magazines, the radio, motion pictures and every other conceivable means of advertising have lauded DDT to the skies. Much of this publicity was released v1hile DDT was still not available to the civilian but only to our Armed Forces. This avalanche of publicity created hundreds of thousands of potential buyers, many of whom began to clamor for the new marvelous insecticide. Press releases were then made from the State Experiment Stations …
