Insect Control On Beef Cattle, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Aug 1968

Insect Control On Beef Cattle, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

In controlling external parasites on beef cattle, a rancher must use extreme care in selecting the proper insecticide. Follow the directions exactly as they are printed on the label. Do not apply a spray mixture that is too concentrated nor apply too much to each animal. Young calves and sick animals are especially susceptible to overdoses of some insecticide preparations. On the other hand, make sure the spray is mixed at recommended concentration; incomplete control may make it necessary to repeat treatment. Use preparations that are registered and formulated especially for livestock use.

Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal In Rations For Pigs And Brood Sows In Confinement, R.W. Seerley, R.C. Wahlstrom Jun 1968

Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal In Rations For Pigs And Brood Sows In Confinement, R.W. Seerley, R.C. Wahlstrom

Agricultural Experiment Station Technical Bulletins (1939-2011)

Alfalfa in the form of ground hay or alfalfa meal has been widely used in swine rations to improve litter size and survival of baby pigs. Some nutritionists suggest the possibility of valuable unidentified factors in alfalfa meal; however, the role of alfalfa meal in modern swine rations needs to be clarified to evaluate dehydrated alfalfa meal in rations for swine continually confined in pens with concrete floors, two experiments were started in 1958. Experiment 1 included four trials with growing pigs and Experiment 2 included four trials with breeding gilts.


Long Span Fences, R. A. Moore, H. G. Young, M. E. Larson, G. B. Haiwick Jun 1968

Long Span Fences, R. A. Moore, H. G. Young, M. E. Larson, G. B. Haiwick

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

By using information in this publication, you can get an idea of long span, suspension fence costs as compared with conventional fencing.
Twenty-seven combinations involving distance between posts, number of wires, and distance between stays within spans have been observed through two seasons of use. All combinations have been successful in turning livestock. However, livestock have damaged three-wire fences more than the others. It is anticipated that a greater amount of maintenance will be required with these fences in the future than with four and five-wire fences.

New Spread Type Dairy Product, S. W. Seas, K. R. Spurgeon Apr 1968

New Spread Type Dairy Product, S. W. Seas, K. R. Spurgeon

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

A spread-type dairy product with about half the milk fat content of traditional spreads and with a substantial nonfat milk solids content has been developed by the Dairy Science Department of the Agricultural Experiment Station at South Dakota State University. The product meets a need as indicated from consumer-preference studies for a food item with spreadable consistency over a wide range of temperatures and, moreover, is in keeping with the trends to convenience foods and the lower consumption of visible fat and calories. It is hoped that such a product will add both to better nutrition and provide a new …


Urea For Dairy Cattle, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Apr 1968

Urea For Dairy Cattle, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Urea has been used successfully for several years as a nitrogen supplement in rations for mature ruminants. It is the non-protein nitrogen source most commonly used to add nitrogen to rations economically. Research has established guidelines for urea-feeding programs when coupled with good management and proper sanitation. To date no research has indicated that rations containing urea have any effect on reproduction or sterility or on vitamin A nutrition of ruminants. Balancing the ration for all nutrients will assure maximum production of milk and meat.

Screening Tests For Abnormal Milk, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Mar 1968

Screening Tests For Abnormal Milk, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

An abnormality in the udder results in secretion of abnormal milk. When milk becomes abnormal its composition and characteristics more closely resemble those of blood. The lactose (milk sugar) is decreased resulting in a decrease in solids-not-fat and total solids. The total protein remains the same but there is a decrease in casein and a corresponding increase in serum (or whey) proteins. The fat percentage varies. The chlorides (one of many salts in milk) increase. The pH (degree of acidity or alkalinity) increases to approach that of blood and the number of leucocytes (white blood cells) increases.

The Supplementation Of Lysine To Growing And Finishing Swine, Roger D. Magstadt Feb 1968

The Supplementation Of Lysine To Growing And Finishing Swine, Roger D. Magstadt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the United States the swine industry contributes a great deal to the economy of the corn-belt farmer. On June 1, 1967, the U.S.D.A. Statistical Reporting Service reported 43,642,000 swine in the ten Corn Belt States, which produce three-fourths of the United States pig crop. South Dakota produced approximately 2,700,000 hogs in 1966 with a value of 137.5 million dollars, which is approximately 18.1% of the total farm income. In recent years the trend toward producing a fast-growing, efficient and meaty hog has necessitated that the nutritional regimen be changed to help express the hereditary potential of the modern meat …

Synthesis Of Deoxy-Glucosamine As A Possible Antibacterial Agent, Theodore Allen Westley Feb 1968

Synthesis Of Deoxy-Glucosamine As A Possible Antibacterial Agent, Theodore Allen Westley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An antibacterial agent is a substance which destroys or suppresses bacterial growth or reproduction. The discovery of the antibacterial properties of the sulfonamides in 1935 by Gerhard Domagk began one of the brightest eras in modern anti-bacterial chemotherapy. These drugs have remained useful as antibacterial agents but the introduction of the antibiotics, particularly penicillin, has made the sulfonamides less popular. However, the sulfonamides are effective and are still used today. Antibacterial agents are not characterized by one chemical grouping or a particular mode of action. Phenols and alcohols, for example, act by denaturing protein. Others such as arsenic and the …


Antigenic Relationships Of Diptheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Glenn Elwyn Urevig Feb 1968

Antigenic Relationships Of Diptheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Glenn Elwyn Urevig

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Gram positive, club shaped, pleomorphic bacilli with or without catalase activity are frequently isolated from abscessed clinical materials (Smith and Bodily, 1968). These organisms may be aerobic to microaerophilic to anaerobic (Wilson and Miles, 1964) and are usually regarded as Diphtheroids. Diphtheroids have been defined by Burdon (1958) as members of the genus Corynebacterium other than the diphtheria bacillus Burrows et al . (1963) state that diphtheroids are "microorganisms morphologically similar to and frequently indistinguishable from the diphtheria bacillus." Biever (1967) included as diphtheroid all of the organisms morphologically similar to the genus Actinomyces. Smith et al . (1964) stated …


Factors Affecting The Seasonality Of Marketing Manufacturing Milk In Eastern South Dakota, Larry Gene Traub Feb 1968

Factors Affecting The Seasonality Of Marketing Manufacturing Milk In Eastern South Dakota, Larry Gene Traub

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problems involved in the marketing of milk are numerous and often complex. One problem facing both the South Dakota producer and processor is the seasonality in production and marketing of manufacturing milk. This has been a problem of long standing in the dairy industry. The fluid milk industry has made some progress in bringing about a more even flow of milk to the market through the various price incentive programs. Seasonal pricing has played a leading role. Little has been done, however, to alleviate the problem in the manufactured milk segment of the industry. . . . The specific …
