Buffers In Ruminant Diets, Royce J. Emerick

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

There are two sets of dietary conditions under which the beef feeder may give consideration to the feeding of buffering materials. One is when the diet consists primarily of silages that by necessity contain performed organic acids in quantities that may contribute an extra burden to the normal buffering capacity of the ruminant digestive tract. The other is under conditions of high-concentrate feeding when the rapid fermentation of readily fermentable carbohydrates by rumen microbes produces high concentrations of organic acids. These acids may overtax the normal buffering systems inherently present in the ruminant digestive tract and blood system resulting in …

Whole Or Rolled Corn Grain Fed At Various Levels To Cattle On Pasture, L. B. Embry, L. F. Bush

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Results of several experiments with drylot finishing of cattle have shown little, if any, advantage for processing corn grain on basis of weight gain and feed efficiency when rations contain 80% or more grain dry matter. At lower levels there has generally been some advantage from processing the grain.
Various levels of grain are frequently fed to growing and finishing cattle on pasture. Levels may vary from a few pounds daily to free access to grain. Questions are then raised as to the benefits of processing the grain and how the benefits might be affected by the levels fed.

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The research reported herein was conducted to evaluate the Hei-Gro device when used alone and in combination with Synovex-H implants. In addition, the experiment was designed to study effects of pen position in relation to steers on feedlot performance of heifers.

Methods Of Vitamin A Supplementation For Fattening Beef Cattle, R. M. Luther, L. B. Embry

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of administering vitamin A through a mineral supplement or injection on feedlot performance and liver storage of vitamin A. The feeding trail was conducted at James Valley Agricultural Research and Extension Center near Redfield during the summer and fall of 1977. The present study also involved a comparison of conventionally-dried, solar-dried and acid-treated corn. Feedlot performance results for these treatments have been reported in the 1978 Progress Report of the Center.

Dust-Impregnated Ear Tags For Horn Fly Control Of Pasure Cattle, P. H. Kohler, L. B. Embry

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Fly control is a problem to all cattlemen during the summer months. The irritation of flies has been shown to cause decreased weight gains and loss in milk production. Cattlemen are continually looking for economical and effective means of controlling flies under various management systems. Among the more recently developed fly control possibilities has been an insecticide dust-impregnated ear tag. The idea was developed for control of ear ticks in Texas. The tags are white, about 2 by 2 1/2 inches in size and about the same weight as a standard, plastic tag commonly used for identifying cattle. They are …

Scabies: Re-Emerging As A Major Cattle Health Problem, James H. Bailey

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Scabies is a contagious skin disease of cattle caused by tiny parasitic mites that pierce the animal's skin to feed. Discharge from the mite wound oozes onto the surface of the skin to form scabs or crusts.

Oat Hay Or Oat Haylage In High Roughage Rations, L. B. Embry, L. F. Bush

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Forage yields were low in the previous experiment because of a low seeding rate and drought conditions. However, grain content in relationship to forage was good and the amount of grain in the forage dry matter was estimated to be about 40%.
Oat forage may vary considerably between years in yield and in chemical composition. Therefore, it was considered advisable to repeat the experiment under similar conditions to obtain more information on the comparative value of an oat crop harvested as hay or haylage.

Factors Affecting The Outlook For Beef Cattle, Gene E. Murra

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

During the past two or three years, large supplies of feeder cattle, fed beef and non-fed beef dominated the outlook picture, forcing prices to very low levels. The supply side still dominates the picture but, at least from aspects of the industry, the affect is a positive one.

Weed Crops For Silage, L. B. Embry, L. F. Bush

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

At times seedings of small grains, grasses and legums become heavily infested with weeds because of inadequate cultural practices or weather conditions favoring growth of various weeds more than the seeded crop. Under such conditions, the weed crop may offer some potential feed for cattle and sheep if cut at the proper stage from the standpoint of weed control and the most potential as a possible feed source. Numerous questions have been asked in past years as to the feeding value of crops where weeds make up a major portion of the total forage. Questions are also raised as to …

Silage Making And Silage Additives, L. D. Kamstra, R. M. Luther, R. K. Mcguffey

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Silage formation should be considered a "self-preservation" of a feedstuff by fermentation of some of its nutrients by enzymes present in and/or organisms already present on the feedstuff. The resulting product has been defined as "a feedstuff resulting from anaerobic fermentation of moist forage or other feedstuff and by preservation with the formation of acids." Even under ideal conditions of silage formation, nutrient losses will occur during the fermentation process.
The discussion which follows will include suggestions and criteria for making high quality silage with minimum loss of nutrients.

Utilization Of Drought-Stricken Corn Silage By Yearling Steers, G. Kuhl, C. Carlson, I. Embry, F. Shubeck

South Dakota Cattle Feeders Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Corn silage is a very versatile and palatable feed that fits well into many cattle feeding programs. Insufficient rainfall in several areas of the country in recent years has resulted in many additional acres of corn being ensiled due to the low potential grain yield. Harvesting drought-stricken corn silage results in at least partial salvage of the crop. However, many farmers have expressed concern about the feeding value of drought-damaged corn silage and how it can be best incorporated into feedlot rations for optimal performance and maximal economic return.

Forced Molting Of Layers, Albert W. Adams

South Dakota Poultry Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

Although forced molting of layers is a management practice dating back to 1905, it wasn't until the 1960's that commercial egg producers started to use it extensively as an alternative to all-pullet flocks. Current usage varies considerably within the U.S. Statistics (U.S.D.A.) show that on August 1, 1979, forced molted layers as percent of hens and pullets of laying age were 32 in the western states of California, Oregon and Washington compared to 8.8 in selected midwestern states.

Effect Of Breed, Sex, And Final Weight On Feedlot Performance, Carcass Characteristics, And Meat Palatability Of Lambs, W. R. Lloyd, A. L. Slyter, W. J. Costello

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

The objective of this project was to study the effect of slaughter weight (heavy vs light), sex (ram vs wether) and breed (Targhee vs Suffolk x Targhee) of lambs on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics and palatablity attributes. In addition, year (1975 vs 1976) and type of birth (single vs multiple) were included in the analysis.

Sheep Health - An Update, G. F. Kennedy

Pregnancy Diagnosis In The Ewe, M. J. Trapp, A. L. Slyter

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1979

A total 378 ewe lambs were evaluated for signs of pregnancy by five operators using five methods of detection. The methods used were breeding mark, rectal-abdominal palpation, an intrarectal Doppler instrument and two ultrasonic devices, the Scanoprobe and Scanopreg (Model 738) for sheep.
Accuracies of pregnancy diagnosis by grease mark were 65.7% in 1976 and 75.5% in 1977 (P<.05) based on lambing results. Accuracy of daignosis for ewe lambs called pregnany or nonpregnany using the recetal-abdominal palpation technique was 62.7%. The overall accuracy on the same ewes using the intrarectal Doppler device was 72.7%. The ewes were examined when they were from 60 to 96 days of gestation using the two rectal probes. Seven ewes died from peritonitis and six aborted following pregnancy detection using the rectal instruments.
Accuracy using the Scanoprobe device was 89.1% for ewe lambs which ranged from 69 to 103 days pregnant. The accuracy achieved when the same ewes were evaluated at 78 to 112 days of gestation using the Scanopreg device 94.8%. No injuries …
