Methods Of Accelerating The Removal Of Moisture From Duckweed And Their Effect On The Crude Protein Content, Thomas Booker Lawson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The two major objectives were to investigate methods for drying duckweed and to determine the effect of the methods on the crude protein content of the plant. The drying methods were oven drying, sun drying, pressing with heat, pressing without heat, pressing combined with oven drying, parboiling combined with oven drying and drying in a spouted bed. A series of drying curves were developed for each drying method. Due to the high moisture content of duckweed (92.9 to 94.0% wet basis), the drying curves exhibited a long constant rate drying period as opposed to grain crops and hay. Equations were …

Relationship Of Patterns Of Use Of Ddt And Its Residues In Animal Feeds And Food Products, John Wayne Impson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A study was undertaken to determine why DDT residue levels in milk produced on dairies in Northeast Louisiana was much higher than from dairies in other areas of Louisiana. The intensive agricultural practices and interrelationship of dairies and cotton farms in this area were thought to contribute to the contamination of milk.

A relationship expressed as a time/DDT-milk residue effect due to the seasonal application of DDT on cotton was examined. The relationship between milk contaminated with DDT and feed ingredients contaminated with DDT was also investigated.

Four dairies were selected for study. Herd milk samples from these four dairies …

The Home Range And Habitat Preferences Of Swamp Rabbits Along A Shell Road In The Intermediate Marsh Of Southwestern Louisiana, Arthur Benjamin Gould Jr.

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The objective of this study was to determine the home range and habitat preferences of swamp rabbits in the intermediate (between brackish and fresh) marsh of southwestern Louisiana. A total of 12 instrumented rabbits provided data for home range estimates. Four rabbits were fol lowed during the falI, winter and spring. Average home range for males was 10.60 acres and 5.14 acres for females on an area which had a population density of 7.74 rabbits per acre The most preferred habitat components were wiregrass with baccharis Iess than four feet taII IightIy interspersed. Baccharis over four feet tall with moderately …

Ultimobranchial Thyroid Neoplasms In Bulls. A Syndrome Resembling Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma In Man, Hugh E. Black, Charles C. Capen, David M. Young

Faculty Publications

A syndrome of ultimobranchial thyroid neoplasms which shares many similarities with medullary thyroid carcinoma in man occurs frequently in populations of adult bulls. The results of this investigation demonstrated that ultimobranchial neoplasms were composed of poorly differentiated parafollicular (C—) cells with extensive aggregations of microfilaments, clusters of ribosomes, and prominent Golgi apparatuses. Secretion granules often were interspersed between microfilaments. Other more columnar neoplastic cells assumed a ductal pattern. The prominent stroma contained amyloid fibrils and collagen fibers. By comparison, cells comprising medullary thyroid carcinoma were more differentiated parafollicular cells with well developed cytoplasmic organelles and numerous membrane‐limited secretion granules. Calcitonin …
