South Dakota Agricultural Off-Farm Occupational Opportunities And Training Needs, H. W. Gadda, J. Pollman Apr 1969

South Dakota Agricultural Off-Farm Occupational Opportunities And Training Needs, H. W. Gadda, J. Pollman

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Agriculture, the largest occupational field in the United States, employs about 40% of the total civilian labor force. In South Dakota approximately 85% of the total income (nearing the $1 billion mark) is derived from agriculture. On the basis of our survey of 126 South Dakota firms we conclude that at least 2,485 new workers with competencies in agriculture will be needed in this state by 1972.
The guidelines we suggest in this report for developing and implementing vocational and technical training programs for off-farm agricultural occupations in South Dakota are based on our findings of growth trends in present …

Mosquito Control In And Around Homes And Farmsteads, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Apr 1969

Mosquito Control In And Around Homes And Farmsteads, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Mosquito control is necessary because of health, recreational, and economic reasons. This insect has plagued man for centuries, causing irritation and spreading disease among both man and animals. Encephalitis is one of the diseases mosquitoes spread. Annoyance by mosquitoes causes livestock to lose weight and reduces milk production. Although other types occur in South Dakota, the most abundant species are Aedes vexans and Culex tarsahs.

Production, Crude Protein, And Use Of 11 Irrigated Grasses And Alfalfa-Grass Combinations On Clay Soils In Western South Dakota, J. R. Johnson, J. T. Nichols Apr 1969

Production, Crude Protein, And Use Of 11 Irrigated Grasses And Alfalfa-Grass Combinations On Clay Soils In Western South Dakota, J. R. Johnson, J. T. Nichols

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Livestock production in western South Dakota and other portions of the Northern Great Plains is a primary source of agricultural income. Maximum sustained livestock numbers are directly related to adequate forage production. Prior to recent advances in agricultural technology and application, maintenance of livestock numbers was difficult in periods of drought or heavy snow f all. With the advent of mechanized farming equipment, increased acreages of irrigated land, improved forage varieties, and better management practices, much has been done to increase and stabilize forage production, thereby stabilizing livestock production.
Some portions of the region, including the Belle Fourche Irrigation Project, …

Blood And Tissue Ammonium-Nitrogen Levels And Tissue Water In Pregnant Urea-Treated Rabbits, Myron Leon Lang Feb 1969

Blood And Tissue Ammonium-Nitrogen Levels And Tissue Water In Pregnant Urea-Treated Rabbits, Myron Leon Lang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ammonia is produced by the normal cellular metabolic processes in mammals; however, ammonia can produce deleterious effects which are well known to many research fields. Ammonia when administered or absorbed at a slow rate may be tolerated in vast quantities by most living organisms. Relatively minute blood ammonium-nitrogen (BAN) levels are present because mammals have efficient systems for excreting ammonia or converting it to non-toxic end products. Normal BAN levels originate mainly from cellular metabolism and bacterial degradation of nitrogenous substrates in the alimentary tract lumen. Impaired detoxification processes (hepatic functional insufficiency and/or portal system shunts) promote elevated BAN levels …

Induced Multiple Ovulation In The Bovine, Franklin Lewis Schwartz Feb 1969

Induced Multiple Ovulation In The Bovine, Franklin Lewis Schwartz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

To the cow-calf operator, the single most important factor affecting his economic livelihood is the number of calves produced and weaned for a given year. Unfortunately, due to low reproductive efficiency in comparison with other cattle traits, the possibility of having a calf crop of greater th9n 80 percent at weaning is not too common. The low heritability estimates that have been reported for reproductive performance indicate that little improvement can be expected through selection. To the animal scientist this problem can best be met by the development of a simple and reliable method of inducing for the most part, …

Range Improvement Practices: Deteriorated Dense Clay Wheatgrass Range, J. T. Nichols Feb 1969

Range Improvement Practices: Deteriorated Dense Clay Wheatgrass Range, J. T. Nichols

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Drought and overgrazing have a devastating effect on range, often causing the deterioration of valuable range resources which in turn results in economic hardships for the livestock producer. When this occurs, decisions are often necessary to determine how to regain or increase production. To make rational decisions for range improvement, knowledge is needed about how a particular range will respond to different range improvement practices and to which sites they are applicable.

Isolation Of Keratinophilic Fungi From Soil And Wild Animals In South Dakota, William Urban Knudtson Jan 1969

Isolation Of Keratinophilic Fungi From Soil And Wild Animals In South Dakota, William Urban Knudtson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little is known of the ecology of keratinophilic fungi in animal populations and their habitats in South Dakota. Recent investigation of an outbreak of ringworm in blue foxes on a fur farm in South Dakota indicated that the source of infection may have been wild animals which had been captured and raised in the kennels previous to occupancy by the foxes. In recent years, a number of investigators have demonstrated that small and large mammals may carry keratinophilic fungi in their coats (13, 29-31, 52, 56-60, 63, 70, 77) and have postulated on the role of infected animals in …

Mare's Milk Composition As Related To "Foal Heat" Scours, Robert H. Johnston Jan 1969

Mare's Milk Composition As Related To "Foal Heat" Scours, Robert H. Johnston

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A condition known as “foal heat" scours often develops in young foals during the mare's first estrum, which usually commences at nine days post-partum. Although death due to this affliction is rare, the results such as loss or hair around the anus, unthriftiness of the foals, foul odor in the stable area, and unsight1iness or the foals causes more than minor concern among horsemen. Severa1 causes for "foal heat" scours have been proposed by those familiar with the condition Among these theories are (1) changes in the composition of the milk, (2) overloading of the foal's digestive tract, (3) ingestion …

Cell-Wall Analyses Of Diphtheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Everett E. Scheetz Jan 1969

Cell-Wall Analyses Of Diphtheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Everett E. Scheetz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Biever, working in this laboratory, isolated numerous diphtheroidal organisms from cattle and swine sources. These anaerobic diptheroids were morphologically similar to organisms in the genera Corynebacterium and Actinomyces. King and Meyer found that isolates of anaerobic diptheroids from human sources were more closely related to the Corynebacterium based upon metabolic and serologic differentiation. Their work consisted of separating A. bovis from several isolates of anaerobic diptheroids on the basis of the catalase test, litmus milk reactions, and the fermentation of xylose, salicin, and raffinose. However, Grasser reported that the fermentation reactions are variable and cannot be used as definite criteria …
