The Effect Of Photoperiod On Reproduction Of Targhee Ewes, Richard D. Rogen
The Effect Of Photoperiod On Reproduction Of Targhee Ewes, Richard D. Rogen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Seasonality of reproduction in sheep has created an oscillating supply of lambs. A more constant supply of lambs would allow more efficient use of facilities and labor by producers, feedlots and packing plants. Seasonal reproduction also limits the lifetime production of the ewe. Extension of the breeding season would provide a more consistent supply of lambs. In addition, more than one lamb crop per ewe could be produced annually. Not only the yearly lamb production but also the lifetime production of the ewe would then be increased. Also, the generation interval would be shortened allowing faster herd improvement. It is …

Protein Supplementation As Related To Protein Sources For Growing And Finishing Lambs, Luis Fernando Palmer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The production of high-quality foods continues to offer an important challenge to livestock producers and animal scientists. People in many countries of the world consume diets which are inadequate in quantity and quality of nutrients. The animal industry plays a major role as a supplier of high-quality foods such as meat, milk and eggs for human nutrition. Protein is perhaps the most important nutrient provided by animal products because of its quality and availability in relation to human needs. Ruminants such as cattle and sheep have the unique ability to convert low quality feedstuffs to high quality food as animal …

Plants Poisonous To Livestock In Botswana, Pearl Dijeng Motsepe
Plants Poisonous To Livestock In Botswana, Pearl Dijeng Motsepe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Livestock plant poisoning is very common in Botswana. Two plants, Dichapetalum cymosum and Pavetta harborii, are especially notorious for causing large-scale mortality in some areas of the country. In 1975, for instance, a D. cymosurn poisoning outbreak killed 210 cattle in east central Botswana. In the same year P. harborii caused large-scale deaths of cattle in the Mochudi area. The losses caused alarm among livestock farmers and the problem was among the issues discussed in the 1975 session of the Botswana Parliament. Because of their potency, farmers in South Africa refer to these species as "sudden death 11 plants. Unlike …

High Performance Imagery : The Use Of Prose Poetry In James Welch's Riding The Earthboy 40 And Winter In The Blood, Sidner J. Larson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
James Welch's combining of poetry and prose has given him a unique language with which to record his impression of life. In addition, welch has an excellent sense of reality that gives life to his writing. His rendition of lonely rural Montana is valid for much of interior America, and he is a master at tracing the implications of life in similar situations for all people who live with distance and harshness. one of the qualities I respect most about Riding the Earthboy 40, Winter in the Blood, and The Death of Jim Loney is that they communicate movingly about …

The Effects Of Excess Arginine On Lysine Utilization In Rats And Swine, David L. Hagemeier
The Effects Of Excess Arginine On Lysine Utilization In Rats And Swine, David L. Hagemeier
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of adding supplemental protein to swine diets is to provide the levels of available essential amino acids and nitrogen necessary for maximum protein synthesis in the pig. Lysine has been determined to be the limiting amino acid in many swine diets. Thus, the real objective of protein supplementation is to provide the amount of lysine necessary for maximum protein synthesis, and if this objective is met the requirements for the other essential amino acids and nitrogen will generally be met. Since swine diets are formulated to meet the lysine requirement of the pig, it is necessary to derive …
Farm-Scale Production Of Fuel Ethanol And Distillers' Wet Grains From Corn And Corn-Whey Mixtures, William Ray Gibbons
Farm-Scale Production Of Fuel Ethanol And Distillers' Wet Grains From Corn And Corn-Whey Mixtures, William Ray Gibbons
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Since the Arab oil embargo of 1973, we have become increasingly aware of the finite nature of our petroleum supplies. Current studies estimate that our supplies of petroleum will be depleted in the next 25 to 50 years. As supplies diminish and prices rise, we will need alternate forms of energy to take up the slack. One of the leading alternatives is the use of biomass in the production of liquid fuel that is, conversion of cellulose, starch, glucose, or other carbohydrates to ethanol. In the United States, the fuel ethanol industry is still in its infancy. Approximately a dozen …

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982
Producers very often question the additional length of time they should feed exotic-cross cattle as opposed to the feeding period required for the traditional British breeds of cattle. Also implied in this question in this question is the additional amount of feed needed for the exotic-cross animal to attain an optimum weight and an acceptable grade. This trial was conducted in an attempt to help answer these basic questions.

Repeatability Of Cow Efficiency, Weaning Weight And Milk Production In Angus, Charolais And Reciprocal Cross Cows, Brent A. Buckley
Repeatability Of Cow Efficiency, Weaning Weight And Milk Production In Angus, Charolais And Reciprocal Cross Cows, Brent A. Buckley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this day of increasing population and decreasing natural resources, man must continually search for more efficient methods of producing foodstuffs. The livestock industry must continue to improve its efficiency of production to remain a profitable producer of protein for the human populace. The pork and poultry industry have increased their efficiency of production through extensive use of cereal grains which could be utilized as human foodstuffs. Beef cattle, on the other hand, have the capability to utilize high roughage feedstuffs, such as grasses or crop residues, which are unavailable for human digestion. The beef cow, in particular, spends the …

Predicting Beef Palatability, L. K. Cost, C. A. Dinkel, W. J. Costello
Predicting Beef Palatability, L. K. Cost, C. A. Dinkel, W. J. Costello
South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982
The search for factors influencing the palatability of beef continues. The relative importance of variables in the USDA quality grading system that currently predicts acceptability and palatability has been questioned. The effect of marbling on palatability is one of the more controversial aspects. Marbling is one of the prime factors in determining the quality grade of a beef carcass and researchers have shown that other variables may play an equal or more important role influencing the eating quality of beef.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of commonly-used predictors of palatability and to consider the possible …
Untreated And Microbial Inoculated Corn Silage In High Silage Rations For Beef Steers, R. M. Luther, J. Nothnagel
Untreated And Microbial Inoculated Corn Silage In High Silage Rations For Beef Steers, R. M. Luther, J. Nothnagel
South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982
Results of research reported a year ago (CATTLE 81-3) indicated that corn silage inoculated with a Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product had lower temperatures during the fermentation period than untreated silage. Lactic and volatile fatty acid formation was also higher for the treated silage. Dry matter recovery was only slightly higher for the treated silage. Digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and organic matter by beef steers was similar for treated and untreated silage.
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of inoculating corn forage of high dry matter content with a Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product. Response to …

Preweaning And Postweaning Performance Of Crossbred Calves--0, 1 Or 2 Ralgro Implants, D. L. Whittington, G. Kuhl, A. Dittman
South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982
The preweaning performance of 221 steer and heifer calves given differing numbers of Ralgro implants was evaluated. The steer and heifer calves given one implant had an additional 23 and 33 lb weaning weight compared to those receiving no implant. No additional response was shown by steer calves receiving a second implant 100 days after the first was given. Average daily gains during the 105-day growing period were not significantly faster than those receiving two implants during the 103-day finishing phase.
This work supports other studies indicating that implanting calves at weaning time is an economical management practice. The work …

The Use Of Alfalfa Products As The Fiber Portion Of Beef Finishing Diets, R. A. Drake, L. D. Kamstra, R. M. Luther, L. B. Embry
South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1982
This experiment was a continuation of research with alfalfa products as supplements and various types of high roughage and high grain rations. Products compared were alfafa haylage, conventional dehydrated alfalfa meal and an alfalfa pressed-cake by-product.
Alfalfa press cake is a by-product of the commercial product Pro-Xan, a leaf protein concentrate extracted from high quality, green-chopped alfalfa. The press cake, even with the soluble proteins removed, contains approximately 17% crude protein. Since it is a new product, its potential as a feed has yet to be established. It seemed appropriate to compare it to other alfalfa products now in common …
