Live Trap For Nuisance Animal Control, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Most animal damage caused by small mammals, such as raccoons and skunks, can be prevented. Proper maintenance of buildings, fencing of gardens, and other mechanical restraints will minimize losses to these animals. Removing or destroying garbage dumps, old cars and machinery, old haystacks, dilapidated buildings, and other hiding areas will discourage small mammals and reduce their numbers. If raccoons and skunks are a persistent problem, a live trap can be helpful in catching and removing them.

Shade Trees To Replace The Elm (Especially The American Elm), Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

The forms or shapes of trees vary from upright and pyramidal to vase-shaped, rounded or irregular. They may be drooping, horizontal or flat. When a tree's branches are held high they are better shade trees, because they provide a canopy of leaves and limbs for shade, while allowing passage and view underneath. Some trees have picturesque growth, giving interesting character, silhouette and winter effect.

Feeding Brood Sows, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Pregestation, gestation, and lactation are critical periods in swine nutrition. Work at many experiment stations has shown that sows will produce larger litters if their energy intake is limited during gestation than if they are allowed access to a self feeder. In the gestation period, weight gains must be controlled, because over-fatness often decreases litter size, besides increasing feed costs. In the nursing period, plentiful milk production requires liberal feeding; however, there is evidence that milk production is to some extent related to the number of nursing pigs. It would appear reasonable to feed the lactating sow on the basis …
