Budgets For Major Livestock Enterprises In South Dakota, H. R. Allen, W. G. Aanderud

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Budgets in this publication reflect normal input-output expectations. They are intended to serve as planning guides for farmers and ranchers, teachers, extension personnel and other individuals or groups who may have use for such information. No single budget can reflect the private situation of all individual producers. There may be variations in the ration being used, rates of gain, starting weights, selling weights, calving rates or overall production efficiency. These are just a few of the variables involved. Price is perhaps the single most important variable affecting return above cost from one year to the next. Therefore, provision is made …

The Effect Of An Organic Iron Compound On Conteption Rate In Gilts, Richard C. Wahlstrom, George W. Libal

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

The objective of this study was to study the effect of an organic iron, containing mostly iron choline citrate and ferrous fumerate as iron sources, when added to swine diets from 30 days before breeding to the time gilts were slaughtered, approximately 35 days post-breeding.

The Influence Of Frame Size On Growth And Carcass Characteristics Of Swine Taken To Heavy Weights, W. Vanderwert, George W. Libal, Dan H. Gee, Richard C. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

In recent years progressive swine producers have sought a larger framed hog that matures at a heavier weight . In theory, these large framed pigs are leaner and maintain desirable feed/gain to heavier weights and therefore offer the flexibility to be marketed at heavier weights if favorable marketing conditions prevail.
The study reported herein was designed to evaluate large and small framed pigs for growth and carcass characteristics when taken to a 300-pound slaughter weight .

Effects Of Antibiotics And Floor Types On Weaned Pig Performance, George W. Libal, Mark A. Kepler, Kee Nahm, Richard C. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

Proper environment for young pigs after early weaning and the most desirable floor type for maximum performance of the young pig have not been established . The effectiveness of antibiotics under ideal conditions has been the subject of considerable discussion. The relationship between floor type and pig response to antibiotics at this stage of growth is still unclear. The four trials reported herein were designed to evaluate the effect of antibiotics on pig performance under controlled conditions, to evaluate the effect of several different types of floors on pig performance and, in one trial, to look at the interaction between …

Basic H As A Feed Additive, George W. Libal, Richard C. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

Swine producers are always looking for a way to lower feed costs which represent the largest expenditure in a swine production unit. We have been informed that some producers are reducing supplemental dietary protein and adding Shaklee's Basic H or Basic H plus Shaklee's Nutritional Protein Supplement (NPS), a human protein supplement. Although these products are not recommended or approved as feed additives, some producers are convinced that their pigs perform adequately when this has been done. The experiment reported herein was conducted to evaluate, under controlled conditions, this practice of reducing protein requirements by adding these products to the …

Effect Of Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles In Pig Starter Diets, Richard C. Wahlstrom, George W. Libal

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

During the past year there has been renewed interest in the feeding value of by-products of alcohol production. Previous research has dealt primarily with feeding of distillers dried grains or distillers dried grains with solubles (DDG/S) . Research conducted at South Dakota State University had shown that growing-finishing pigs could be fed diet s containing as much as 20% DDG/S without significantly affecting rate of gain. However , feed conversion was significantly poorer with this level of DDG/S in the diet . Protein and dry matter digestibility were also reduced when diets contained 20% of DDG/S.
The experiment reported herein …

The Effects Of Disease On Poultry's Return To The Midwest, Charles W. Howe

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

The poultry disease situation in the Midwest and upper Midwest is relatively stable in comparison to certain other areas which have been prominent in the industry. Many of the diseases seen in the Midwest can be economically prevented by either nutrition, management practices or through the use of biologies.

Utilization Of Spent Fowl In The Manufacture Of Chicken Restructured Steaks, M. J. Buyck, P. R. Durland, L. M. Roland, S. C. Seideman

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

Each year the poultry industry is faced with a large number of spent laying hens (spent fowl), which are often difficult to market at a reasonable price. If less desirable poultry carcasses such as spent hens could be utilized economically to create desirable new products, there would be considerable incentive to do so. Because of the maturity level of spent hens, their muscles are quite tough and, therefore, products made from them would have to be comminuted. A new method of comminution, called flaking, cleanly cuts frozen muscle into wafer—thin slices which aids in the binding properties upon further processing. …

Effect Of Copper And/Or Bacitracin On The Sulphur Amino Acid Requirements Of Turkeys, A. B. Kashani, T. J. Decock, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

A nonsignificant but consistent depressing effects from additions of combined copper (120 ppm) and zinc bacitracin (50 or 75 g per ton) was observed in a previous study. One of the factors that has been suspected to be affected by copper is utilization of sulfur containing amino acids. Thus, a factorial experiment was conducted to study the effect of copper (120 ppm) and/or zinc bacitracin (25 g per ton) on the level of sulfur amino acids at 85%, 100% and 115% of NRC (1977) requirements. The low protein density series of Guenthner et al. (1978) was used (23, 20, 18, …

Utilization Of Goose Muscle In The Preparation Of Meat Rolls, K. G. Wanstedt, P. R. Durland, S. C. Seideman, L S. Donnelly

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

South Dakota produces more domestic geese than any other state in the United States. Marketing of geese is decreasing due to importation of Canadian geese and a decreasing consumer demand. Research is needed to increase goose meat consumption. A large percentage of turkey meat is sold as retail convenience products such as rolls, yet there are virtually no comparable products on the market from goose meat. This study was undertaken to develop and evaluate an acceptable goose roll.

Performance Of Layers As Affected By Grower Diets And Pelleting 12 And 16% Protein Diets, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

Previous studies at this station have shown significant advantages for using grower diets relatively higher in fiber content. This study was conducted in part to evaluate the use of oat hulls for which frequently there is no demand for this purpose. During the layer phase, the effects of pelleting were examined.

Effect Of Pelleting And Bacitracin Form On Egg Production, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

Bacitracin-MD and zinc bacitracin at 0, 10, 20 and 40 g per ton levels were individually added to a 13.2% protein low density mash diet (Table 1). In addition, the control and diets containing 40 g of antibiotics per ton were pelleted to investigate the effects of antibiotics and/or pelleting on egg production parameters and feed consumption. Twelve 24-week old pullets were initially used for each treatment replicated eight times using randomized complete block designs. Feed and water were provided ad libitum.

Selenite Versus Seleniferous Wheat In The Mercury-Selenium Interrelationships, R. J. Emerick, Robin A. Ruark, I. S. Palmer, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

An interaction between mercury and selenium that reduces the toxicity of methylmercury in growing chicks and laying hens has been demonstrated in previous work from the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (A.S. Series 78-6 and 79-25). An inorganic form of selenium, sodium selenite, was used in those studies. However, much of the selenium occurring in plants and animals is in an organic form, principally selenomethionine and/or selenocysteine bound to protein moeties. Studies described herein were to compare the effectiveness of- selenium as found in seleniferous wheat with that of sodium selenite in counteracting methylmercury toxicity in growing chicks.

Effect Of Distillers' Grains And Oats On Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Syndrome, C. C. Rakshit, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1980

Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) can be a major cause for economic loss due to excessive mortality. Egg production may or may not be affected by this disease. The etiology of this disease is still uncertain, although several nutritional factors are supposed to be associated with it. Several nutritional factors and different feed ingredients have been tried in experiments at this research center with various results (A.S. Series 75-28, 76-1, 77-27, 78-5 and 79-24).
