Flock Record Summary, Phillip E. Plumart, Boyd J. Bonzer Nov 1975

Flock Record Summary, Phillip E. Plumart, Boyd J. Bonzer

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

A computerized flock record keeping system has been in use at South Dakota State University since 1965. A report is computed and published monthly from data received from flockowners. We have usually had 50 to 60 flockowners reporting data. However, in the spring of 1975, participation dropped to about 30 flockowners. The records of those flocks completing their laying cycle during the calendar years of 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and through June of 1975 are summarized in table 1.

Summary Of Costs And Income Of Layer Flocks On The Sdsu Record Program, Phillip E. Plumart

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Summaries of the income and flock performance of all 19 flocks closed on the program for this year are included in A.S. Series No. 75-40 entitled "Flock Record Summary." Only those flocks for which additional records were received will be covered in this report. Eight flockowners cooperating in the South Dakota State University Computerized Flock Record Keeping Program submitted operating costs, fixed costs and hired labor figures after their flocks were closed between July 1, 1974, and June 30, 1975.


Our Studies On Egg Shell Fragility, O. E. Olson, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson Nov 1975

Our Studies On Egg Shell Fragility, O. E. Olson, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Thin or Improperly formed egg shells cause serious losses to our poultry Industry, and the problem becomes progressively greater during aging of the laying flock. Therefore, the Animal Science and Chemistry Departments are undertaking work to attempt to understand the causes for greater fragility of the eggs of older laying hens and to reduce the problem by removing or alleviating the causes. Since the work has just begun, no results are yet available. The studies to be under taken are outlined below.


Egg Yolk Pigmentation With Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Pro-Xan And Xanthophyll-Free Freeze Dried Alfalfa Juice, E. Guenthner, O. E. Olson, C. W. Carlson Nov 1975

Egg Yolk Pigmentation With Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Pro-Xan And Xanthophyll-Free Freeze Dried Alfalfa Juice, E. Guenthner, O. E. Olson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

This study concludes a series of tests in which natural and synthetic materials were used to produce deeply pigmented egg yolk. The most efficient pigmenter used was B-apo 8' carotenoic acid ethyl ester followed by 6-apo 8' carotenal, alfalfa concentrates and meals of alfalfa, corn gluten and marigold petals. In this test pure lutein, dehydrated alfalfa meal and Pro-Xan, an alfalfa concentrate, were used as sources of pigments^. The freeze dried alfalfa juice was tested for its possible effect in enhancing the utilization of pure lutein. Caged hens were depleted of body stored pigments by feeding an essentially pigment free, …


Low Protein Pullet Grower Diets And Their Effects On Subseuqnet Reproductive Performance, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson Nov 1975

Low Protein Pullet Grower Diets And Their Effects On Subseuqnet Reproductive Performance, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Numerous studies, including several at this station, have shown that layer-type pullets can utilize diets as low as 10 or 12/i protein during the growing stage without affecting their subsequent reproductive performance. Past grower studies had been conducted using floor pens with corn-cob litter. A cage growing system was installed in the brooder building during the past year. Since commercial growing of layer-type pullets in cages is now becoming quite common, it was felt that the low protein diets should be tested under these conditions.


Feed Restriction With High And Low Energy And Protein Layer Diets, E. Guenthner, C. W. Carlson Nov 1975

Feed Restriction With High And Low Energy And Protein Layer Diets, E. Guenthner, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Current reports in the literature Indicate that the feed cost of producing eggs can be reduced by limiting feed Intake. This is true when laying diets of high nutrient density are used and the feed restriction is applied after the flock peaks in production. Previous tests at this station have shown that, under some feed cost situations, lower density diets also can reduce the feed cost of eggs. This experiment tested the effects of restricting both low and high density diets on hen performance.


Mercury-Selentium Interrelationships In Layers, R. J. Emerick, I. S. Palmer, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson Nov 1975

Mercury-Selentium Interrelationships In Layers, R. J. Emerick, I. S. Palmer, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Results presented in previous Poultry Field Day reports (A.S. Series 73-18, 74-19) have shown 5 to 10 ppm mercury as methylmercury to lower production and reproductive efficiency of hens. Reports from other stations have indicated the existence of a mercury-selenium interrelationship whereby the toxicity of one is reduced by the presence of elevated dietary levels of the other. The studies reported herein were for the purpose of determining the extent that this inter relationship may serve to reduce the detrimental effects of methylmercury or selenium in layers.

Low Vs. High Protein Diets For Turkeys, E. Guenthner, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Two series of corn-soy diets, one high in protein and energy (HPE) and the other low in protein and intermediate in energy (LPE), were fed to 600 male and 300 female Large White poults. The high protein diets, with supplemental methionine, started at 32% crude protein (CP) and were stepped down at 4-week intervals to 16% CP. The energy values of the HPE diets started at 3150 Cal M.E. per kg and were stepped up to 3525 Cal. The LPE diets, supplemented with methionine and lysine, started with 23% CP and were stepped down to 12% CP. The energy values …

Some Effects Of Source And Amount Of Fat On Serum Cholesterol In Rats, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Helping people live longer and healthier lives is the goal of many nutritionists. Indicators have shown that the average American life span increased until 1960 and since then has remained on a plateau. There are even predictions for a decrease between 1975 and 1985, blamed primarily on inactivity, smoking, suboptimal nutrition and pollution.

The Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Syndrome (Flhs), R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Fatty liver hemorrhaglc syndrome (FLHS) has become a major cause of mortality among caged laying hens. It was second (14%) to lymphold leukosls as the cause of death In 1974 among those hens submitted to the diagnostic laboratory from this research station. The problem seems to be Increasing with the Increased use of high energy-low protein layer diets.

Amino Acid Additions To A Low Protein Corn-Soy Diet For Egg Production, A. B. Kashani, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

The study to be reported here was conducted to determine if the protein level of layer diets could be lowered from the commonly used 16% level to 12% without reducing the performance of hens. Thirty-six 24-week-old Babcock 300 pullets in groups of six were placed in cages and randomly assigned to each dietary treatment. The formulas for the basal diets are shown in table 1. The first treatment consisted of the 11.8% protein diet with the second treatment containing an additional 0.15% methionine hydroxy analogue. Treatments 3, 4 and 5 were obtained by cumulatively supplementing the diet of the second …

Injectable Famphur For Control Of Grubs In Cattle, P. H. Kohler, R. N. Gates, L. B. Embry, L. B. Embry Oct 1975

Injectable Famphur For Control Of Grubs In Cattle, P. H. Kohler, R. N. Gates, L. B. Embry, L. B. Embry

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Grubs are a major pest of cattle and cause considerable economic loss to the cattle industry. Running of cattle and standing in available water sources during heel fly strikes no doubt are reflected in lighter weaning weights of claves because of reduced grazing time and cows becoming separated from their calves. Other losses to producers and feeders include possible reduced feedlot performance by grub infested animals, weight loss and down grading of carcasses that are trimmed to remove areas damaged by grubs and a lower value for hides due to grub holes. Several effective products and methods of treatment are …

Marketing Margins For Beef And Related Considerations, Bruce A. Ginn Oct 1975

Marketing Margins For Beef And Related Considerations, Bruce A. Ginn

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

In an environment where inflation has become a way of life, rising prices are a natural accomplice. High prices are fine--for the seller. But those of us who wear the hat of the consumer (and that's all of us) greet escalating costs with a less than joyful attitude. The question is, Can consumers, longshoremen, producers, shippers, and the Russians find happiness together? In some respects the interests of the producer and the consumer may not be significantly different and could form the basis of an alliance in which marketing innovations could take place.

Soybean Meal Or Urea During Feedlot Adaptation And Growing Of Calves, R. N. Gates, L. B. Embry

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

This experiment investigated the response by calves to different levels of protein during the first four weeks of feedlot adaptation using soybean meal, urea or a combination of the two sources. Following the adaptation period, the calves were continued on experiment for a growing phase to compare soybean meal and urea as supplements to corn silage.


Energy Level In Ration, Market Weight And Types Of Cattle, L. B. Embry, W. J. Costello, W. S. Swan Oct 1975

Energy Level In Ration, Market Weight And Types Of Cattle, L. B. Embry, W. J. Costello, W. S. Swan

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

The effect of body size on feed efficiency has been the subject of research for several years. Evidence was presented from some of the early research that body weight is unrelated to feed efficiency. Recent research has also shown that current recommended net energy requirements, such as those by the National Research Council, for growing and finishing beef cattle are valid for various sizes and types of beef animals. Large-bodied cattle gaining at a faster rate require more feed and should be fed ro heavier weights to reach best market grade.


Acid-Treated Vs. Dried Corn With And Without Zeranol Implants For Finishing Cattle, L. B. Embry, R. C. Ward Oct 1975

Acid-Treated Vs. Dried Corn With And Without Zeranol Implants For Finishing Cattle, L. B. Embry, R. C. Ward

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Corn grain is frequently harvested at a moisture content too high for safe keeping under conventional grain storage conditions. While this may be a desirable or necessary practice, the grain must be dried, stored under oxygen-limiting conditions, stored to produce ensiled grain or treated with an effective preservative to prevent spoilage during storage. Each of these methods is being used for preservation and storage of corn when harvested at a high-moisture content (20 to 30%) and used for feeding livestock. Total costs including storage structures, losses in processing and storage and comparative feeding value are factors involved in choice of …

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Direct comparisons between DES, zeranol and Synovex implants and a non-implanted control under various conditions and are more limited. In the experiment reported here, implants of the three products were compared to a nonimplanted control when steers were fed finishing rations with and without roughage.


Factors Affecting The Cattle Industry Outlook Situation, Gene E. Murra Oct 1975

Factors Affecting The Cattle Industry Outlook Situation, Gene E. Murra

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1975

Historically, many of the demand and supply relationships which impact on the cattle industry in the United States and South Dakota have been rather easy to analyze. This is not true today--many of the old, simple relationships have become complex. The purpose of this paper will be to present some of the demand and supply relationships as they pertain to outlook.
