Effect Of Dietary Calcium And Zinc On Performance Of Growing-Finishing Pigs, George W. Libal, Richard C. Wahlstrom Nov 1979

Effect Of Dietary Calcium And Zinc On Performance Of Growing-Finishing Pigs, George W. Libal, Richard C. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Recently there have been a number of reports of swine feeds containing over 1% calcium. Previous research had indicated a high incidence of parakeratosis when diets contained over 1% calcium unless these diets were supplemented with additional zinc. This study was conducted to obtain additional information on the effects of high dietary calcium and different levels of supplemental zinc on performance of growing-finishing swine.

The primary objective of this experiment was to study the potentiation of chlortetracycline in swine. Several methods of potentiation were studied; they were increasing dietary levels of calcium sulfate, sodium sulfate and phosphorus.


Effect Of Prefarrowing Dietary Treatment On Pig Production, George W. Libal, Richard W. Wahlstrom Nov 1979

Effect Of Prefarrowing Dietary Treatment On Pig Production, George W. Libal, Richard W. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

A method of increasing birth weight and pig survival rate at weaning is desirable because of the large pig death losses normally ocurring during the first week after farrowing. Several management schemes are suggested using commercial products to improve this situation. This study reported herein was designed to test suggested management schemes.

Fat Added To Sow Gestation Diets, L. J. Kortan Nov 1979

Fat Added To Sow Gestation Diets, L. J. Kortan

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Baby pigs are born with a minimal store of usable energy, primarily in the form of fat and glycogen. These stores are rapidly depleted after birth. It is generally thought that less than 15% of liver glycogen, which is the mostly is the most important store for usable energy, is present 24 hours after birth.


The Effect Of Fat Additions To Sow Diets During Late Gestation On Pig Survivability, George W. Libal, Richard C. Wahlstrom Nov 1979

The Effect Of Fat Additions To Sow Diets During Late Gestation On Pig Survivability, George W. Libal, Richard C. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Death of pigs during the first few days after birth is one the most frustrating occurrences in a swine farrowing facility. Much of this death loss has been attributed to starvation and lack of adequate energy stores in the baby pig at birth. Recent work at several universities has suggested that the addition of 15 to 20% fat to the sow's diet prior to farrowing may increase stores of liver glycogen in the baby pig and increase the pig's survival rate. Under normal conditions this level of fat is impractical, if not impossible, to handle in a feed mill. The …


Amino Acid Supplementation Of Low Protein Corn-Soy Diets For Young Weaned Pigs, Richard C. Wahlstrom, Michael W. Cox, George W. Libal Nov 1979

Amino Acid Supplementation Of Low Protein Corn-Soy Diets For Young Weaned Pigs, Richard C. Wahlstrom, Michael W. Cox, George W. Libal

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The objectives of this experiment were to determine the need for tryptophan supplementation of low protein starter diets supplemented with lysine and methionine and to determine the value of N-acetyl-DL-tryptophan as a source of tryptophan.


Effect Of Added Fat In Pig Starter Diets, Richard C. Wahlstrom, George W. Libal Nov 1979

Effect Of Added Fat In Pig Starter Diets, Richard C. Wahlstrom, George W. Libal

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Recently, several dried fat products have appeared on the market. These products are much easier to mix into diets than fat products that have to be added in liquid form. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of a dried fat product added to young pig diets at two levels. The diets were also fed in both meal and pellet form to obtain information on the effect of the physical form of the diet on pig acceptance and performance.

Beef Cattle Performance Testing, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Nov 1979

Beef Cattle Performance Testing, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Performance testing offers beef cattle breeders a way of measuring differences among animals for traits that have economic significance. The economic traits are those that contribute to production efficiency, carcass desirability, rapid growth rate, efficient use of food, regularity of reproduction, and carcass quality desired by the packer and consumer. The differences measured in these traits are inherited differently. The systematic measurement of these differences, the recording of the measurements, and the use of the records in a selection program will increase the rate of genetic improvement in a herd.


Trees Of South Dakota, Paul E. Collins, L. L. Helwig Nov 1979

Trees Of South Dakota, Paul E. Collins, L. L. Helwig

SDSU Extension Circulars

The study of trees often becomes puzzling to the beginner when several trees of the same species are examined. The leaves, bark, shape, fruit, etc., may differ from tree to tree. Trees are like people—no two are exactly alike. We learn our trees, then, by studying several trees, not just one. This gives us a knowledge of the range of these variations. In time we take these differences in stride. Identification is then no longer a problem. This booklet was prepared mainly for South Dakota boys and girls. It will assist teachers in the public schools and will be of …

Performance Of Laying Hens Fed Increasing Amounts Of Lysine In Low Protein Diets, J. B. Carey, C. W. Carlson Oct 1979

Performance Of Laying Hens Fed Increasing Amounts Of Lysine In Low Protein Diets, J. B. Carey, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The current N.R.C. (1977) recommendations for lysine content of laying hen rations is 0.60%. This level of lysine is recommended along with 15% protein. The influence of protein level or protein quality on this requirement is not known. This experiment examined laying hen performance over a range (0.55% to 0.80%) of lysine levels in 10% and 12% protein diets to determine optimum lysine intake. Also, the influence of the addition of the amino acids isoleucine and tryptophan to the 10% protein diet was studied.


Grower Diets For Layer Pullets Using Corn Or Oats, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani Oct 1979

Grower Diets For Layer Pullets Using Corn Or Oats, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

In previous studies with low-protein (12%) diets for growing pullets, the diets that have supported the best subsequent production and with the least mortality and layer feed have contained some oats. Last year's results showed a 30% oats diet to be just as good in that regard as one containing 80% oats. A 12% protein diet with only corn as the grain component caused the hens to produce at a 2.7% lower rate of production (440 hens per treatment, significant at 0.05).


A Ten-Year Flock Record Summary, P. E. Plumart Oct 1979

A Ten-Year Flock Record Summary, P. E. Plumart

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

A computerized flock record keeping system has been in use at South Dakota State University since 1965. A report is computed and published monthly from data received from flockowners. The project started with a few flocks and expanded to 67 in 1972. However, in the spring of 1975, participation dropped to about 30 flockowners and has continued to drop down to a current level of about 15. The records of those flocks completing their laying cycle during the calendar years of 1969 through 1978 are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.


Thiocarbamide: A Growth Regulator To Control House Flies In Cage Laying Operations, J. M. Vandepopuliere Oct 1979

Thiocarbamide: A Growth Regulator To Control House Flies In Cage Laying Operations, J. M. Vandepopuliere

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The life cycle of the common house fly (Musca domestica, L.) is supported in an optimum condition within the commercial cage laying unit. The manure and waste feed provide an ideal media for breeding, egg laying, hatching and larvae development. The mature larvae pupate and hatch into adult flies. The reproductive cycle requires 5 to 10 days, depending on the temperature, humidity and light.


Effects Of Oat Groats In Force-Fed Diets On Fatty Liver-Hemorrhagic Syndrome (Flhs), R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson Oct 1979

Effects Of Oat Groats In Force-Fed Diets On Fatty Liver-Hemorrhagic Syndrome (Flhs), R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

FLHS still remains an important cause of mortality, see A.S. Series 78-4. The events preceding mortality due to FLHS preclude a much reduced rate of production. The economic effects of such losses may well exceed $1 million annually in South Dakota alone. Earlier work at this laboratory has shown oats to contain a factor which protected against FLHS in laying hens. Subsequent studies showed that the oat hull did not contain the protective factor.

Effects Of Zinc Bacitracin On Growing Turkeys And Laying Hens, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani Oct 1979

Effects Of Zinc Bacitracin On Growing Turkeys And Laying Hens, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

With the current concern over the use of antibiotics in poultry feeds, greater interest is being given to antibiotics which are not absorbed into the blood stream. Bacitracin is one of that type being considered and actually is in extensive commercial use.
Previous studies at this station showed Bacitracin-MD to improve production of laying hens fed a low density diet with the antibiotic at levels of 10, 25 and 50 grams per ton (see A.S. Series 77-21). No responses were obtained with the 100-gram per ton level or any level when supplementing a high density diet. In addition, bacitracin has …

Effects Of Probiotic On Turkeys And Laying Hens, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani Oct 1979

Effects Of Probiotic On Turkeys And Laying Hens, C. W. Carlson, R. A. Nelson, A. B. Kashani

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Previous studies (A.S. Series 78-7, 77-20 and 76-10) have shown probiotics to have beneficial effects upon growing turkeys under some conditions of stress. There was no response with laying hens in a study reported on last year (A.S. Series 78-7).


Mercury, Selenium And Protein Interrelationships In Laying Hens, R. J. Emerick, I. S. Palmer, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson Oct 1979

Mercury, Selenium And Protein Interrelationships In Laying Hens, R. J. Emerick, I. S. Palmer, R. A. Nelson, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Mercury contamination of some segments of the environment has been implicated as a cause of lowered reproductive efficiency in certain waterfowl, possibly through the production of lower quality, thin shelled eggs prone to embryo dehydration and death. Selenium, on the other hand, has been reported to provide some protection from methylmercury toxicity. The studies reported here were for the purpose of determining the extent of the mercury-selenium relationship and whether it is influenced by dietary protein level.


Calcification Studies With Laying Hens, Rose Wright, C. W. Carlson Oct 1979

Calcification Studies With Laying Hens, Rose Wright, C. W. Carlson

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The aim of the present study is to determine whether certain metabolites of vitamin D3 (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) added to the diet will affect shell quality in aged laying hens. This will be further evaluated by measurements of the carbonic anhydrase activity of the shell gland, blood serum calcium levels and calcium binding protein activity of the duodenum and shell gland.
