Isolation And Characterization Of Fecal Streptococci From Surface Waters In South Dakota, Jerome Edward Tiede
Isolation And Characterization Of Fecal Streptococci From Surface Waters In South Dakota, Jerome Edward Tiede
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Organisms referred to as "fecal streptococci" or "enterococci" have been studied as possible indicators of pathogenic bacteria of fecal origin since their· discovery. In Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (1957), the "enterococci" are classified as Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens, Streptococcus faecalis var. zyrnogenes and Streptococcus durans. Streptococcus bovis and Streptococcus equinus do not meet all the criteria of the enterococcus group. However, they are found in great numbers in certain fecal material. These organisms, and the”enterococci" are collectively referred to as "fecal streptococci." The unavailability of satisfactory methods and of selective media has prevented the acceptance of these …
Effects Of Supplemental Lysine In The Drinking Water Of Growing And Finishing Swine, Aaron R. Taylor
Effects Of Supplemental Lysine In The Drinking Water Of Growing And Finishing Swine, Aaron R. Taylor
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Proteins are defined as organic compounds formed as polymers of amino acids. The structural characteristics of the individual proteins enable them to act as catalysts (enzymes) and thus control the rate of all biological reactions, to serve as carriers for biologically important substances in the organism, to regulate physiological relationships as hormones, and to serve as structural components for subcellular, cellular and other organic substances. Previous research has indicated that for optimum utilization of amino acids to occur the required amino acids must be present at the site where synthesis of the organic substances takes place. These required amino acids …
Aflatoxicosis In Poultry, John G. Gregoriades
Aflatoxicosis In Poultry, John G. Gregoriades
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The term "aflatoxicosis" is applied to the toxicosis which is produced by "aflatoxin", a poisonous metabolite produced by certain strains of Aspergillus flavus. This toxin is a part of a series of toxins produced by fungi, which may be ingested by livestock, poultry and humans to produce toxigenic effects--the so-called mycotoxicoses. The occurrence of mycotoxicoses are frequent enough considering the prevalence of fungi and their proliferation in nature. They develop under favorable environmental conditions in foods and feeds of plant origin before and after harvest.

Dried Whey, Fish Solubles In Growing-Finishing Swine Rations And Effects Of Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles On Ration Digestibility, Craig S. German
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Many workers have suggested the possibility of an unidentified growth factor (s) in certain feed ingredients. Feeding trials conducted to determine the effect of unidentified growth factor sources on growth rates have produced inconsistent results. One of the biggest problems has been the isolation and identification of the compound responsible for the growth stimulus often obtained when unidentified growth factor sources are fed. Empirical fractionations have been done with some unidentified growth factor sources. Growth stimulation has been reported with various fractions extracted with different organic solvents, with a water extract as well as the ash of growth factor sources. …
Variation Between Boars In Semen Characteristics And Fertility, Wayne L. Singleton
Variation Between Boars In Semen Characteristics And Fertility, Wayne L. Singleton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The most important factor influencing the income from a livestock breeding herd is the number of offspring produced per female per year. This number varies between herds and species and is influenced by such factors as disease, nutrition, genetics, management, climate, and endocrine balance. It has been estimated that over 30% of the potential offspring from the sow are lost between ovulation and the thirtieth day of pregnancy. It would be of great economic value to reduce this loss both in terms of increased number of offspring per pregnancy and increased number of offspring per year. The sow has long …

Comparisons, when draw, are designed to indicate a point rather than to judge or intimate that one of the magazines is better than the other. To further emphasize this point of …
Relationships Between Beef Palatability And Bone Density, Bone Hardness And Other Maturity Indicators, David E. Schafer
Relationships Between Beef Palatability And Bone Density, Bone Hardness And Other Maturity Indicators, David E. Schafer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A trend in recent years has been for meat scientists to concentrate much of their effort on obtaining a more complete understanding of those factors which affect or contribute to meat quality or palatability. Some of these topics have ranged from the effect of nutritional regime on palatability to the effects of hormone treatments, antemortem stress conditions, breeds or types, sex, marbling levels, maturity or age, cooking techniques, chemistry of muscle and fat, measurement of muscle fiber diameter and extensibility, connective tissues and, finally, color of muscle and fat. This emphasis on factors relating to beef palatability has also caused …

Feedlot Adaptation And Shrinkage Of Feeder Cattle, Robert E. Revell
Feedlot Adaptation And Shrinkage Of Feeder Cattle, Robert E. Revell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the past 10 to 20 years the cattle feeding industry has undergone many changes. A number of changes in environmental factors and management practices have created problems in the adaptation of newly arrived cattle to their new environment. Major problems are the high incidence of diseases resulting in extensive treatments, slow gaining cattle during the early stages in the feedlot, and costly death losses. All result in narrowed profit margins. Cattle are being sent to feedlots at an earlier age. The practice of holding cattle until they are mature or selling them as grass-fats has declined. Feedlot operators want …

A Study Of Resource Allocation On Farms Engaged In Swine Production In Southeastern South Dakota, Robert Lincoln Borgers
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was undertaken to compare alternative livestock programs on southeastern South Dakota farms. Variations in hog production have been emphasized since swine feeding accounts for much of the income generated within the community. In addition to the amount of income, stability of income, risk, capital and labor requirements have been compared as limiting factors to be seriously considered. Diminishing numbers of farmers and new pork production methods have caused remaining farmers and new pork production methods have caused remaining farmers to reassess use of scarce inputs and new means of successful swine raising. Some questions which arise in the …

Effects Of Dieldrin On Reproduction Of Penned Hen Pheasants In The Second Generation, William Lyman Baxter
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Effects of dieldrin on penned hen pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) which were the offspring of hens receiving encapsulated dieldrin the previous year were measured. Hens produced by the previous year's control group received 0, 6, 8, or 12 mg of dieldrin per week for 14 weeks. Hens from treated groups received 0 or 6 mg per week. Effects of dieldrin were evaluated by influences upon reproductive success. Mortality occurred in all groups receiving dieldrin, and appeared to be correlated with a reduction in egg production. Dieldrin lowered egg production by reducing food consumption in the 12 mg group and two groups …
Snapping Turtle Life History On Lacreek Refuge, South Dakota, Donald Arthur Hammer
Snapping Turtle Life History On Lacreek Refuge, South Dakota, Donald Arthur Hammer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Investigations of the snapping turtle population on Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge in south-central South Dakota were conducted during 1965-67. Turtles captured by trapping, “hooking”, boxing nests and catching nesting females were measured, marked and released. Turtles were marked by toe-clipping, routing, flagging, and tagging. Attaching a metal tag with a “pop-rivet gun” was the most successful marking technique. Molluscs (95 percent frequency) and vegetation (91 percent frequency) were the most important food items of 22 turtles captured on Valentine Refuge in north-central Nebraska. Bird remains were found in 23 percent of the stomachs. Recapture of marked turtles indicated that individual …
Life History And Ecology Of The Black-Footed Ferret In The Wild, Conrad N. Hillman
Life History And Ecology Of The Black-Footed Ferret In The Wild, Conrad N. Hillman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Twenty-one black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) were observed at six different locations in southwest South Dakota between April 1966, and September 1967. All observations were made on black-tailed prairie-dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns from 15 to 100 acres in size. Because of the proximity of towns inhabited by ferrets, it was possible that individual animals were observed in more than one location. Three litters of ferrets were studied. Young ferrets were most active during early morning and late evening hours. Ferrets remained as a group until early fall when dispersal evidently occurred. Young ferrets accepted live-tethered and dead prairie dogs, mice, cottontails …
Food Habits And Energy Utilization Of Badgers, Grant K. Jense
Food Habits And Energy Utilization Of Badgers, Grant K. Jense
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A study was initiated in 1966 to determine food habits and energy utilization of badgers. Digestive tracts were collected in eastern South Dakota from November 1966 to November 1967. A male and a female badger were used for two energy-balance and three digestion trials. Ground squirrels, mice and rabbits were found to be the most important mammal foods eaten. Birds and eggs were only eaten during spring and summer. Toads and grains were important fall foods. Insects were eaten throughout the year but usually only in trace amounts. However, when available, badgers ate large quantities of beetles and ground-nesting bees. …
A Survey Of Pollution On Selected Streams In The Black Hills Of South Dakota, Thomas J. Jurgens
A Survey Of Pollution On Selected Streams In The Black Hills Of South Dakota, Thomas J. Jurgens
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Seven Streams in the Black Hill of South Dakota were surveyed to determine the influence of suspected sources of pollution on these streams. The sources of pollution included both sewage treatment plant effluents and mining wastes. A comparison of the benthic fauna community below a pollution source to that above it was the primary basis for evaluating the effect of the pollution source on the stream. The results of the benthic fauna samples indicated that the streams surveyed were being polluted. The degree of pollution of each stream was also indicated by these results. Chemical analysis were sued to verify …

Food Habits Of The Sharp-Tailed Grouse (Pedioecetes Phasianellus Jamesi) And The Greater Prairie Chicken (Tymphanuchus Cupido Pinnauts) In Western South Dakota, Bruce A. Renhowe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Summer food preferences were determined for 48 adult sharp-tailed grouse (Pedioecetes phasianellus jamesi) in a mixed grass habitat. Seasonal foods were determined for 659 sharptails and prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus). Vegetation analysis of four selected study areas indicated significant differences (P<.05) in grassland and brushy draw habitats. Of plant food items, cultivated crops were first in importance on the basis of crop analysis by volumetric comparison for summer, fall, and winter for prairie grouse. Common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) ranked first (72.2 percent) in importance by volume for 63 sharptai8ls during spring. Short-horned grasshoppers (Acrididas) were the most important insect item by volume for summer, fall, and winter. Preference indices for food items taken by 48 adult sharp-tailed grouse during summer indicated selectivity for rose (Rosa arkansana) hips, wolfberry (Symmphoricarpos occidentalis) fruits, clovers (Trifolium spp.), and prickly lettuce (Lactuca Serriola) flower heads. Cultivated crop were fifth in important based on the food-preference index. Short-horned grasshoppers were consumed in approximate proportion to their availability.

It is increased in solids content with nonfat milk solids. The purpose· of developing this product was to obtain a new outlet for milk constituents; desirably it was to be one that could regain the market sales which were lost by butter and are now enjoyed by the margarines. The high price of butter compared with the substitute product …
The Feeding Value Of High Dry Matter Corn Silage, Myers J. Owens
The Feeding Value Of High Dry Matter Corn Silage, Myers J. Owens
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The important of corn in dairy cattle feeding is generally acknowledged. A popular way of preserving the crop is to make corn silage, thus using the whole plant for feed and preserving maximum feed per acre. The increased utilization of corn silage by dairymen may be due to its high energy yields per acre, high acceptability by cattle, and ease with it is incorporated into automated systems of harvesting and feeding. The increasing importance of corn silage in the United State is evidenced by the increasing acreages harvested as corn silage. In 1950 there were 4,937,000 acres planted with a …

Mannitol Induced Renal Alterations In Rabbits, William R. Taggart
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mannitol, an alcohol of six carbon sugar-mannose, has a molecular weight of 182.17. It has the inability to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle which makes mannitol a physiological stable compound. This chemical structure, physical and physiological properties of mannitol are listed in figure 1 Barry, (1963). The clinical use of mannitol as a therapeutic agent has been validated many times in the literature. The utilization of mannitol as a prophylactic measure in prevention of acute renal failure following surgery or trauma has been reported by many authorities. Before recently many surgeons have selected the utilization of mannitol rather than urea …
