G95-1268 Lettuce And Other Salad Greens, Susan D. Schoneweis

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses different salad greens, their uses and nutritional value.

Lettuce has been an important part of human diets since ancient times. It was customary for the Romans to precede their gargantuan banquets with refreshing lettuce salads in the belief that lettuce enhanced the appetite and relaxed the alimentary canal. It had other uses, too. Dried lettuce juice was used to aid sleep in Elizabethan times and through World War II lactucarium, a sedative made from wild lettuce extracts, was used in hospitals¹. Today, lettuce is used as the main ingredient in most salads and it is joined by …

Ec95-272 Nutrition Management Of Pregnant And Lactating Mares, Kathleen P. Anderson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Serious horse producers are concerned about their mares' reproductive performance and ability to mother strong, healthy foals. Economic survival often hinges on mares foaling early in the year, rebreeding quickly and nursing a growing foal that develops soundly. While achieving these goals in a herd of brood mares is dependent upon many factors, nutritional well-being is one important part of an effective brood mare operation.

Brood mares have specific nutritional requirments that differ from other classes of horses. There are differences both in the amount of feed mares need and in the nutrient concentration needed in taht feed. Therefore, the …

G95-1239 Managing To Prevent Equine Developmental Orthopedic Diseases, Kathleen P. Anderson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes and discusses management techniques to prevent orthopedic disease in horses.

Equine Developmental Orthopedic Disease (DOD) is a significant problem facing today's horse breeders. A serious case of DOD can render a young horse essentially worthless due to crippling lameness. There is continuous debate as to the interplay of nutrition, management, genetics and exercise on the incidence of bone disease in young, growing horses. In the early stages, growing horses may appear unaffected by the disease, but may later develop lameness and eventually chronic arthritis. Recent research has identified many factors which will aid breeders to minimize the …

G95-1237 Feeding And Care Of Orphaned Foals, Kathleen P. Anderson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication stresses the importance of care and feeding when foals are orphaned.

Feeding and raising orphaned foals can be an extreme challenge particularly if the foal was orphaned at birth. Losing a mare is never expected and being left with a motherless orphan can turn into an unexpected nightmare. Intensive management will optimize the foal's survival chances.

G95-1235 Growth Implants On Beef Heifer Reproduction, Gene H. Deutscher

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This guide discusses the benefits and concerns in the use of growth implants with beef heifers. Growth promoting implants are used extensively in beef cattle finishing programs and in suckling and growing steer programs. Implants are one of the most economical means of improving performance. However, producers are concerned with implanting suckling and growing heifers because of the possible negative effects on subsequent reproduction of heifers selected as replacements. Replacement heifers need to grow rapidly, reach puberty early, conceive early, and increase in skeletal structure to reduce calving difficulty. If implants could be used to increase growth and skeletal structure …

Ec95-273 Swine Nutrition Guide, Duane Reese, Robert C. Thaler, Mike Brumm, Austin J. Lewis, Philip S. Miller, George W. Libal

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication is a revision of the previous swine nutrition publication prepared by the Universityof Nebraska and South DakotaState University. The focus of the publication continues to be on nutrient recommendations for swine. Specific factors (nutritional, environmental and managerial) that affect nutrient recommendations have been considered and discussed. We believe that the identification and description of the factors provide the framework for the nutrient recommendations presented inTables 11 to 16. Industry advisors representing various facets of the pork industry were recruited to review and challenge the concepts incorporated in this publication. Also, in situations where “gray areas” existed, these industry …

Utilization Of Twin Screw Cold Extrusion To Manufacture Restructured Chops From Lower-Valued Pork, Wesley Osburn, Roger W. Mandigo, Paul Kuber

Nebraska Swine Reports

Restructured meat products are commonly manufactured by using lower-valued meat trimmings reduced in size by comminution (flaking, chunking, grinding, chopping or slicing). The comminuted meat mixture is mixed with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins. These extracted proteins are critical to produce a “glue” which binds muscle pieces together. These muscle pieces may then be reformed to produce a “meat log” of specific form or shape. The log is then cut into steaks or chops which, when cooked, are similar in appearance and texture to their intact muscle counterparts.

Inorganic Nitrogen Determined By Laboratory And Field Extractions Of Two Forest Soils, H. Van Miegroet

Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications

To assess the effect of a delay in soil processing on inorganic N levels in N-rich soils, field and laboratory extractions were compared at two forested sites with high N mineralization and nitrification potential. At eight sampling dates in 1989 and 1990, five mineral soil cores per site were taken between 0- and 10-cm depth and transported on ice to the laboratory for KCl extraction and NH4-N and NO3-N analysis. At three sampling dates in 1990, soil extractions were performed in the field immediately following sampling, and inorganic N concentrations were compared between extractions. Nitrate-N increased four- to sevenfold (net …

Estimating Predatory Efficiency Of Episyrphus Balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) In Cereal Fields, Brigitte Tenhumberg

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

A model was developed to estimate the effect of predation by Episyrphus balteatus larvae on aphid populations in fields of winter wheat. Feeding rate of syrphid larvae was estimated from experiments in field cages using a Holling type-III function. During larval development, syrphids consumed a maximum of 396 aphids, which is only half the potential feeding rate reported from laboratory experiments. The lower consumption rate in the field may be attributed to the additional time required by the predators to find prey. Isoclines derived from the model were used to estimate the abundance of syrphid larvae necessary to prevent further …

Population Processes, Kathleen H. Keeler, Anthony Joern

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Within the prairies, myriad populations of plants, insects, small mammals, and other organisms form distinct levels of organization. The physical forces of weather and fire and the complex networks of species interactions control each species’s structure and dynamics and determine its abundance or rarity. Variation in population dynamics and interactions over time and space determine the distribution and abundance of species, and ultimately the composition and dynamics of entire prairie communities.

To the casual observer, plant populations on prairies may seem quite static, like museums containing a diverse collection of specimens that can be seen again and again on repeated …

Sodium In Pasture Species And Grazing Livestock, C. T. Dougherty, Kenneth L. Wells, G. E. Mitchell

Agronomy Notes

Concern among some dairy nutritionists has recently been expressed that "high potassium" content of hay and silage is reducing milk production in some high-producing dairy herds. Alfalfa and grass hay and com and grass silage, which have been heavily fertilized, are the objects of this concern. The nutritional question being considered in this article is whether an animal diet excessively high in potassium (1

Rice Pests Of Shifting Cultivation In Côte D'Ivoire, West Africa, E. A. Heinrichs, D. E. Johnson, J. K. Afun, D. J. Robison

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Traditional shifting cultivatiOn appears to be sustainable if fallow periods are sufficient to restore soil fertility, maintain soil structure and suppress pests. These traditional systems are threatened in West Africa because of increasing land pressure resulting in shorter fallow periods. Studies were conducted on farmers' fields in Côte d’lvoire to determine how fallow length affects populations of insect pests and their natural enemies and weed growth and yield losses due to weeds. Length of fallow influenced the abundance of certain arthropod species as indicated by sweep-net sampling. Populations of the stalk-eyed flies Diopsis spp., leaf·feeding beetles, and leafhoppers/spittlebugs were significantly …
