Fourteenth Annual Poultry Field Day, Animal Science Department

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

These are the complete proceedings of the fourteenth annual Poultry Field Day held on November 4th, 1982.

Effect Of Feed Additives On The Growth Of Turkeys, Hossein Samie, A. B. Kashani, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

The use of feed additives is a common practice for almost all species of animals raised under man's control. Addition of 60 ppm copper as copper sulfate to turkey diets improved growth rate to 8 weeks of age when low protein diets were used (POULTRY 81-2). This level of copper (60 ppm) along with Neo-Terramycin and Bacitracin was used in a factorial experiment to compare copper (Cu) and these two antibiotic supplements on the growth rate of turkeys receiving low or high protein diets.

The Effect Of Firm Pellets On Turkey Performance, M. Hassibi, C. W. Carlson, R. M. Luther

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

Pelleting feeds has been shown to improve feed conversion up to 15% for livestock and poultry, but the processing techniques seem to be much more of an art than a science; Little information is available in the literature regarding techniques for obtaining firm pellets with the kind of stability that can resist the handling process.

Sunflowers For Growing Pullets, Ali B. Kashani, C. Wendell Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

South Dakota is the third leading state in the production of sunflowers. Although the primary use of this crop is for extraction of oil, its protein and other nutrient contents make it a suitable ingredient in poultry feed formulation. Growing pullets have been shown (A.S. Series 78-2, POULTRY 80-7) to have relatively low requirements for protein (12% of diet) and also to withstand relatively high fiber contents with no adverse effect on later performance. These characteristics make pullets (10 to 20 weeks of age) appropriate subjects for feeding high levels of full-fat sunflower seeds in their diets.

Use Of Lactobacillus Cultures As Feed Additives In Layer Diets, Chandi C. Rakshit, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

Addition of probiotics containing Lactobacillus types of cultures have shown some favorable results in previous studies at this research center. With laying hens, there was only a numerical but nonsignificant improvement in egg production (see A.S. Series 76-10, 77-20, 78-7 and POULTRY 81-4).

Sunflower, Soybean And Meat Meals In Laying Diets, S. Oruseibio, C. W. Carlson, A. B. Kashani

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

A previous study (POULTRY 81-6) had shown that hens on diets utilizing sunflower meal as the major protein source supported fair egg production, whereas meat and bone meal as the major protein source supported substandard performance. Hen-day egg production was 15% poorer and feed intake was off by 22 grams per day averaged for all groups on the meat and bone meal diets.

Aureomycin For Laying Hens, Ali B. Kashani, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

Antibiotics have generally been more effective in counteracting, somewhat at least, the growth depression caused by feeding diets containing lower density cereal grains. However, growth responses have not been as consistent using other types of diets. In spite of extensive studies on the subject of antibiotics, their exact mechanism of action is yet to be clearly understood. Several factors have been shown to interfere with the intestinal absorption of these compounds for therapeutic purposes. Among these, calcium level and source have been shown to influence the blood level of tetracyclines.

Some Effects Of Enzyme Supplementation And Various Wheat Bran Levels In A Broiler Diet On Apparent Digestibility, K. H. Nahm, C. W. Carlson, A. W. Halverson, N. Thiex

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

It is generally recognized that birds do not have an enzyme in their digestive fluid which digests cellulose. However, cellulosic materials are major renewable resources available in large quantities which need to be properly utilized to help meet our needs for energy, chemicals, food and feed for a long-range solution. A variety of lignocellulosic materials containing acid-detergent fibers, are available and microorganisms capable of degrading either one or more of the three main constituents, viz., cellulose, hemicelluose and lignin, have been studied. A further variety of strategies are being explored, including thermal methods of degradation such as pyrolysis or biological …

Applying The Principles Of Integrated Pest Management To Poultry Production In South Dakota, Emmett R. Easton

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982

The $7 billion gross income for poultry, with the exception of the broiler chicken industry, is shared by nearly every state in the Union. Total farm income for 1977 (broilers, eggs, turkeys) showed an increase to $7.2 billion, but a regional breakdown was not available (USDA Agr. Sta., 1977). Even though many of the components for integrated pest management in poultry production are known, more specific knowledge of how best to utilize these components is needed.

Feeding The Dairy Herd, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Feeding the dairy herd for optimum performance and economical production is the greatest challenge facing dairymen. Dairy cattle must receive palatable feed containing adequate amounts of nutrients in the correct proportion. If a dairyman can accomplish this at low cost, his operation will be profitable.

Formulating Rations For The Dairy Herd, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Formulating balanced rations is an important objective of every dairyman who wants his herd to reach top performance. If he can determine the cheapest sources of the proper combination of nutrients he'll also be able to make a profit.

Plants Of South Dakota Grasslands: A Photographic Study, J. R. Johnson, J. T. Nichols

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

In each section (grasses and grass-like plants, forbs, and woody plants), plants are grouped alphabetically by family, then alphabetically by genus and species within families. This arrangement places plants with similar floral features together, hopefully making a search for similar-looking plants easier.
Plant descriptions are brief and as nontechnical as possible. In cases of possible confusion between closely related species, an effort has been made to point out key differences. A glossary is included. Currently accepted scientific names are used, often followed by names which were earlier applied. Common names that the authors feel are best known or most appropriate …

Travois: An Alfalfa For Grazing, F. G. Vigil, R. Pollmann, A. Boe

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

In 1948, M. W. Adams and G. Semeniuk recognized the economic potential of introducing alfalfa into ranges and pastures of the more arid parts of South Dakota. They initiated a breeding program directed toward developing very hardy, disease resistant alfalfas which would persist indefinitely when grazed by livestock. Travois is an outgrowth of that program and is believed to meet these requirements.
