Economic Impacts Of Alternative Sized Dairies In South Dakota, Erik Gerlach Jan 2005

Economic Impacts Of Alternative Sized Dairies In South Dakota, Erik Gerlach

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota dairy production is declining in terms of number of dairy farms, number of dairy cows and volume of milk production. To reverse the decline, state policy makers and local action groups have worked to encourage dairy development, which has emerged primarily in South Dakota’s Interstate-29 (I-29) corridor. The milk production industry is trending towards larger units leading to a struggle between producers, local policy makers, and residents regarding locating larger dairy operations in eastern South Dakota. Therefore, it is important to know the economic impact of the dairy industry within South Dakota so informed decisions regarding the future …

Response Of Vegetation And Endangered Waterbirds To Habitat Management Techniques At Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, James Andrew Rader Jan 2005

Response Of Vegetation And Endangered Waterbirds To Habitat Management Techniques At Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, James Andrew Rader

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Habitat selection, reproductive effort, and habitat utilization of Hawai’ian stilts (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) and Hawai’ian coots (Fulica alai) was studied on Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge in Mau’i, Hawai’i. Nesting behavior was confirmed following management treatments on the northern shore of Kealia Pond. Nests were dispersed or randomly spaced within vegetation patches or newly created mudflat habitat. Pickleweed and makai were the dominant vegetation surrounding the nest setting and utilized for nest substrate by Hawai’ian stilts and Hawai’ian coots respectively. Mechanical control treatments were implemented through monotypic stands of pickleweed to increase interspersion of open water and promote native vegetation. …

Determination Of Trifluoroacetate By Ion Chromatography For Snow And Ice Analysis, Jon Hanson Jan 2005

Determination Of Trifluoroacetate By Ion Chromatography For Snow And Ice Analysis, Jon Hanson

The Journal of Undergraduate Research

Trifluoroacetic acid (TEA) is a product of the atmospheric degradation of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HCFCs and HFCs are widely used substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that have been found to contribute to the loss of stratospheric ozone. Deposits of TEA with precipitation (rain and snow) can lead to its presence and accumulation in the aquatic and cryosphere environments, with unknown long-term environmental consequences. Investigation on TEA impact and its fate in the environment requires sensitive, accurate, and fast analytical methods. The determination of trace concentrations of TEA using the technique of ion chromatography (IC) is investigated in this study, …

Economic Analysis Prepared For The Environmental Impact Statement On Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Conservation And Management On The Nebraska National Forest And Associated Units, Martin Beutler Dec 2004

Economic Analysis Prepared For The Environmental Impact Statement On Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Conservation And Management On The Nebraska National Forest And Associated Units, Martin Beutler

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This limited analysis resulted from a request by the Nebraska National Forest to provide some economic estimates to the value of changes in forage availability that would result from three proposed levels of rodenticide use in the management of black-tailed prairie dogs (BTPD) on the Nebraska National Forest (NNF) and associated units managed by NNF (i.e. Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, Ft. Pierre National Grasslands in South Dakota, and the Oglala National Grasslands in Nebraska.) The values of changes in forage availability were determined based on three alternatives of rodenticide use. These alternatives include: (1) limit use of rodenticides to only …

Frost Damaged Or Immature Corn: Forage Options, Cody Wright, Kent Tjardes, Alvaro Garcia, Peter Jeranyama Nov 2004

Frost Damaged Or Immature Corn: Forage Options, Cody Wright, Kent Tjardes, Alvaro Garcia, Peter Jeranyama

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Delayed spring planting and early frost can each contribute to significant reductions in grain yield and (or) the value of the grain due to low test weight or high moisture. Under these circumstances, consider alternative harvest options for your corn crop. One viable option is to harvest the crop as forage. Generally, the first option producers think of when faced with immature or frost-damaged corn is to chop the fields for silage or earlage. While this method of harvest will work extremely well and can provide several tons of high quality feed, it may not be the best option if …

Grazing Corn Stalks, Cody Wright, Kent Tjardes Nov 2004

Grazing Corn Stalks, Cody Wright, Kent Tjardes

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

It has been known for years that one of the largest expenses in a beef cattle production system is feed, more specifically, winter feed. Consequently, a great deal of research has focused on ways—shifting the production system to better fit the forage resource base, feeding cheaper alternative feeds and forages, extending the grazing season—to reduce winter feed cost. In the upper Midwest with its short growing season for grasses and significant amount of snowfall received in a typical year, crop residue is the most cost-effective method to extend grazing. Extending the grazing season without adding additional forage acres or substantial …

Ensiling Immature And Frost Damaged Corn, Peter Jeranyama, Cody Wright, Kent Tjardes Oct 2004

Ensiling Immature And Frost Damaged Corn, Peter Jeranyama, Cody Wright, Kent Tjardes

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Immature corn is corn that fails to reach adequate maturity and can not be sold at normal, prevailing market values without steep price discounts. Corn that is drought stressed, heat unit deficient, water logged, or frost damaged meets this definition. Corn is uniquely suited to silage making. But when corn is damaged or killed by frost before it reaches the desired maturity for ensiling, the stage of maturity at the time of frost is very critical. If frost is early and green leaves remain on plants it may be best to let the crop stand, as it will continue to …

Understanding Relative Feed Value (Rfv) And Relative Forage Quality (Rfq), Peter Jeranyama, Alvaro D. Garcia Aug 2004

Understanding Relative Feed Value (Rfv) And Relative Forage Quality (Rfq), Peter Jeranyama, Alvaro D. Garcia

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Feed quality of alfalfa harvested as haylage or hay depends, to a great extent, on the maturity of the stand. With increasing maturity, plant structural carbohydrates, as measured by the ADF and NDF fractions, increase. These fiber fractions represent the more indigestible parts of the plant. As a result, digestibility and energy obtained through fermentation decrease with maturity. Relative feed value (RFV) has been used for years to compare the quality of legume and legume/grass hays and silages. Having one index to price hay and predict animal performance has been very useful for livestock producers and hay farmers.

Combatiendo El Stress Calórico En La Vaca Lechera, Alvaro D. Garcia Aug 2004

Combatiendo El Stress Calórico En La Vaca Lechera, Alvaro D. Garcia

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

El agua es un nutriente de mucha importancia durante los períodos de stress calórico. Sus propiedades físicas, conductividad del calor, y calor latente de evaporación, son fundamentales para transferir el calor del cuerpo del animal al medio ambiente. El consumo de materia seca del ganado lechero es afectado cuando la temperatura ambiente se encuentra fuera de la “zona de confort” de la vaca (41 a 68 F). Cuando la temperature ambiente aumenta por encima de los 68 F el consume de materia seca disminuye. Ensayos recientes de investigación sugieren que el consumo de materia seca puede disminuir en 0.17 libras …

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

La crianza de becerras saludables es importante para el éxito de la hacienda lechera. Si se siguen prácticas de manejo y reproducción actualizadas estas vaquillas serán seguramente mejores aún que las vacas que hoy pueblan su hato. Los costos de la crianza de una vaquilla hasta los 24 meses de edad varían entre granjas y pueden oscilar entre 800 y 1,500 dólares. Si las vaquillas paren con más de 24 meses de edad, se pierden 2 dólares diarios en alimento, reemplazos y producción durante la vida útil de la vaca. La reducción de la edad del parto puede tener un …

The Use Of Turnips For Extending The Grazing Season, Alexander Smart, Peter Jeranyama, Vance Owens Jun 2004

The Use Of Turnips For Extending The Grazing Season, Alexander Smart, Peter Jeranyama, Vance Owens

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The use of short-season crops, such as turnips, is effective for extending the grazing season, following the harvest of small grains. A system of double cropping works particularly well if the intent is to provide a break in crop rotation. Turnips, which are in the brassica family, are fast growing and tolerate cold temperatures. Therefore, they are good for providing high quality and quantity forage for grazing livestock well into the fall (Figure 1).

Use Of By-Products In Growing Dairy Heifer Diets, K. F. Kalscheur, A. D. Garcia Jun 2004

Use Of By-Products In Growing Dairy Heifer Diets, K. F. Kalscheur, A. D. Garcia

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The goals of a heifer-feeding program are to reach a target freshening weight by 24 months of age or less, to improve feed efficiency and reduce costs, and to do this while allowing the animals to express their full genetic potential for milk production. Feed costs remain the single largest expense in raising dairy heifers; therefore, a feed cost reduction that does not sacrifice production improves net income. Feed costs may be reduced by the use of locally available by-product feeds. Nutritional composition of by-product feeds, however, may vary from the animal’s nutritional requirements, making the incorporation of such feeds …
