Effect Of Corn Processing And Reconstitution On The Digestibility Of High Grain Diets, M. A. Robbins, R. H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 1994

Twelve steers (body weight 955 Ib + 37) were allotted to a 4 x 4 Latin square design digestion trial to examine the effects of corn processing on feed utilization. The grain component of the diet was either dry whole corn (WC), dry rolled corn (RC), corn reconstituted 12 hours before rolling (RRC), or corn reconstituted with a commercial surfactant3 12 hours before rolling (CRC). Dry matter content of the WC, RC, RRC, and CRC diets were 87.91, 87.30, 82.1 9, and 82.14%, respectively. Treatment had no effect on the digestibilities of dry matter (71.00% ± 1.57), organic matter (72.22% …

Effect Of A Yeast Culture Product (Yea-Sacc) On Feedlot Performance Of Growing Calves Limit-Fed A High Concentrate Diet, C. P. Birkelo, B. Rops

South Dakota Beef Report, 1994

Eighty weaned steer calves (initial weight 535 Ib) were blocked by weight, allotted within block to 8 pens and limit-fed a high concentrate diet without (CONT) or with Yea-Sacc (YS; 13 g per day). The diet consisted of 69% whole, high moisture corn, 20% ground alfalfa hay, 2% molasses, and 9% supplement (dry matter basis). The diet was fed once daily for an average of 99 days in amounts calculated to result in CONT calf daily gain of 2.25 Ib. As intended, dry matter intakes of calves on the two treatments were identical (13.3 Ib/day). Daily gains averaged 2.40 and …

Effect Of Yeast Culture Product (Yea-Sacc) On Feedlot Performance Of Yearling Cattle Fed A High Concentrate Finishing Diet, C. P. Birkelo, R. K. Berg

South Dakota Beef Report, 1994

The objective of this study was to determine if yeast culture (Yea-Sacc, Alltech, Inc., USA) affects feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of yearling steers fed a corn-based finishing diet containing less than 10% roughage. Crossbred yearlings (1 08 steers, avg 874 Ib) were fed a rolled corn diet (8.44% ground alfalfa hay) without (CON) or with Yea-Sacc (YS, 9 g per head per day) for 95 days. Final weights were 15 1b greater (P < .07) for YS steers than CON as a result of a 12.3% increase in daily gain between day 29 and day 57 (P<.03). Daily gains were 4.1 % greater for YS-fed steers overall (P<.07). Dry matter intake was not affected by treatment (P> .20). Feed efficiency tended to be improved for YS steers between day 29 and day 57 (P< .1 1) but did not differ at other times or overall (P> .20). Treatment increased carcass weights by 13 1b (P …

Effect Of Supplement Crude Protein Source And Dietary Crude Protein Levels On Feedlot Performance Of Yearling Steers, R. H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 1994

The effect of crude protein level and source on production rates of yearling steers was evaluated during an 88-day finishing period. The overall average daily gain of 240 steers implanted with Revalor was 4.35 Ib. Diets were formulated to contain 1 1.25 and 13.5% crude protein. Protein sources included urea, soybean meal, an isonitrogenous blend of blood mealcorn gluten meal (BM-CGM) and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). Increasing dietary crude protein from 11.5 to 13.3% with all urea supplements depressed (P<.05) dry matter intake without compromising average daily gain or feed efficiency. Feeding soybean meal in 1 1 .I % crude protein diets improved the energetic efficiency of steers. The BM-CGM supplement depressed (P<.051 dry matter intake and average daily gain when compared to the 11.5% crude protein soybean meal diet. The 13.6% crude protein diet containing 11 % DDGS and urea supported performance comparable to the 11.1 % soybean meal diet at a lower cost.

Net Energy Of Finishing Diets Containing Light Or Normal Test Weight Corn, C. P. Birkelo, R. H. Pritchard, M. Buhman, S. Grosch, C. Willms

South Dakota Beef Report, 1994

Net energy (NE) of diets containing 77.7% whole corn of either normal (53.8 Ib/bushel, NC) or light (40.8 Ib/bushel, LC) test weight was determined by total collection and indirect respiration calorimetry using six crossbred steers (avg wt 327 kg). Diet treatments were applied in a switchback design. The steers were initially adapted to ad libitum intake of either NC or LC diets for 32 days followed by 7 days total feces and urine collection. Gaseous exchange was subsequently measured for at least 48 hours. Intake was then reduced to an estimated 1.1 times maintenance for 6 days and collections were …

Winter/Spring Population Characteristics Of White-Tailed Deer In An Agricultural/Wetland Complex In Northeastern South Dakota, Brian J. Kernohan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Habitat preference, cover characteristics of corn, movements, and sexual segregation patterns of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were evaluated at Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge (SLNWR) in winter (January - March) and spring (April - June), 1993 and 1994. An average of 20 radio-collared deer were monitored per season, which resulted in 4, 058 relocations. Habitat preference was assessed using 95 and 50% home range contours that were estimated using an adaptive kernel method. Agricultural crops (i.e., corn [Zea mays], row crops other than corn [e.g., soybeans [Glycine max]], small grains [e. g., wheat [Triticum aestivum]], and alfalfa [Medicago sativa]) were …

Winter Diet And Nutritional Condition Of White-Tailed Deer In The Northern Black Hills, South Dakota, Robert G. Osborn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Habitat deterioration in the northern Black Hills (NBH) of South Dakota may be responsible for declining white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population levels (Griffin et al. 1992). Because of the relationship between habitat and nutrition, a two-year research project was initiated in January 1992 to evaluate the physical and nutritional condition of white-tailed deer inhabiting five NBH winter subranges. Habitat variables were measured at 100 random locations on each study area. Pellet groups were collected throughout each study area at two-week intervals during January, February, and March 1992 and 1993. Five female white-tailed deer were collected from each study area in …

Characteristics Of Milk And Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese From Cows Fed Extruded Soybeans And Niacin, Matthew Ryan Lentsch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today's consumers are demanding food products that are "low-fat", "reduced fat", "high in -unsaturated fatty acids", and "low cholesterol". This trend in food product selection is at the advice of many health professionals. Current health recommendations are to lower the dietary intake of fat, especially saturated fat. In 1992, total dairy sales accounted for over 10% of total food sales (Milk Industry Foundation, 1993). Since dairy products are perceived as being hypercholesterolemic, a market exists for dairy products which are "lower in fat" and/or "lower in saturated fat". It is said that "consumer perception is marketing reality", and because of …

The Effects Of Uncertainty On Market Structure: The South Dakota Slaughter Cattle Market, Scott Fausti, Dillon Feuz

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

In terms of population and income, South Dakota is a small, rural state relative to the rest of the nation. South Dakota's 1992 Gross State Product (GSP) was roughly 12 billion dollars, which implies South Dakota contributes .2% toward U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The agricultural sector of the South Dakota economy contributed approximately 10% to GSP in 1992. The beef industry is the largest agricultural subsector in the state. In 1992, it generated 1.3 billion dollars in marketing revenue and produced approximately 41% of agriculture's contribution to GSP. The importance of the beef industry to the South Dakota's economy …

Beef Cattle Producer "Sustainability" And "Organic” Indices, Donald Taylor, Dillon Feuz

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This paper covers one component of a research project aimed at exploring the sustainability of beef cattle production in South Dakota. In this exploratory research, farmers/ranchers who follow alternative "near-organic" production practices are being studied in relation to farmers/ranchers who follow "mainstream" production practices. The study is being accomplished through comparisons of four "matching" pairs of "near-organic" and "mainstream" case study farms/ranches, with the members of each pair being as similar as possible in size-of-operation, types of cattle, natural and economic resources, and overall farm management levels. The comparisons involve both physical and economic measures of production. To determine farmers/ranchers …

Using Distiller's Dried Grain From Corn In Baked Goods, Cooperative Extension Service

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Distiller's grain is produced during the process of making ethanol from corn. This very complex process is simplified as described in the adjoining diagram. To make ethanol, corn is cooked with starch-degrading enzymes. This process breaks the starch in the corn to sugar. Yeast is then added to the mixture. As the yeast ferments the sugar, carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol are produced. The CO2 is vented off, and the ethanol is removed from this slurry. The slurry that remains can be separated into distillers wet grain and a thin liquid called sweetwater. The wet distiller's grain may be sold …
