Effects Of Dieldrin On Reproduction Of Penned Hen Pheasants, Thomas Donald Atkins
Effects Of Dieldrin On Reproduction Of Penned Hen Pheasants, Thomas Donald Atkins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Pen studies to determine the effects of dieldrin on reproduction of the hen pheasant were conducted for two breeding seasons, Hen pheasants were caged individually and administered encapsulated dieldrin at weekly intervals. The first season, treatment levels were 0, 2 or 4 mg of dieldrin per hen per week. Hens receiving 4 mg weighed more and laid heavier eggs than the controls. However, these differences were not attributed to the effects of dieldrin, but to the condition of the hens when first treated. Hatchability of eggs from the 2 mg group was significantly higher for an undetermined reason. Feed consumption, …
Factors Affecting Body, Texture, And Water Holding Capacity Of A New Low-Fat Spread-Type Dairy Product, Basil K. Dalaly
Factors Affecting Body, Texture, And Water Holding Capacity Of A New Low-Fat Spread-Type Dairy Product, Basil K. Dalaly
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
At the South Dakota State University Dairy Science Department, a challenging work is being conducted to develop a new spread type· dairy product which is made almost entirely of dairy ingredients. It contains about 40% fat, 6% protein, 40% water, and 1.9% salts. Among the problems which faced the workers on this project were the process induced changes in the protein and the water holding capacity, which are interlinked. The problem of water holding capacity is increased by the high water content of the product compared with butter, which contains about 16% water. Maintaining the stability of the fat emulsion …

Minimum Resource Requirements For Specified Levels Of Income In Faulk County, South Dakota, Dwaine Edward Umberger
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to determine combinations of agricultural resources and enterprises required to obtain specified farm income levels in Faulk County, South Dakota. The income level of the farmer in Faulk County depends on the quantity and quality of the resources controlled and the efficiency achieved in utilizing these resources. The level of farm income in Faulk County is often inadequate to meet both the requirements of the farm firm and the needs or desires of the operator and his family. Many farmers are making adjustments to increase their income levels.
The Evaluation Of Soybean Protein As A Major World Food Supply, Ray D. Branham
The Evaluation Of Soybean Protein As A Major World Food Supply, Ray D. Branham
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There is a need to find a high protein food that is inexpensive and yet contains all the essential amino acids. So far there has been small scale attempts made by a handful of companies to utilize some type of high protein product. Soybean seemed to be a likely possibility to fulfill these qualifications. The primary objective for doing this research problem is to attempt to answer whether soybean protein fits the qualifications necessary to alleviate the world food problem by proving to be an acceptable and inexpensive, yet highly nutritive food for those now suffering or those who will …
A Comparison Of The Social Criticism In Melville's Typee And Thoreau's Walden, Mary Riedy
A Comparison Of The Social Criticism In Melville's Typee And Thoreau's Walden, Mary Riedy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau are two of the most original American authors who appeared during the first half of the nineteenth century. Although the writings of both Melville and Thoreau have been examined extensively in scholarship, little has been done in the way of attempting a comparison of their work. In fact, Melville and Thoreau was an avowed member of the Transcendentalist movement, which Melville openly opposed.1 There are, indeed, many dissimilarities between the two writers. Thoreau belonged to the Concord group of authors, while Melville did not. Melville was primarily a novelist while Thoreau’s prose works were …

Lipid Mobilization In Beef And Rabbits As Affected By Marketing-Induced Stress Or Acth-Induced Stress, John R. Romans
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The effect of stress on intramuscular and plasma lipids was studied in rabbits and beef. Nine mature rabbits were subjected to a constant infusion of ACTH (1.5 mU./min./kg.). Four rabbits completed a 12 hour treatment and two completed an 11-hour treatment. The remaining three rabbits survived treatments of 6, 4, and 2 hours. Blood samples taken at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours or immediately upon death if it occurred before 12 hours. Initial and final muscle biopsies were taken from the longissimus dorsi directly posterior to the 13th rib on right and left sides, respectively. The stress …
Creep Feeding Lambs, Gary Ricketts
Creep Feeding Lambs, Gary Ricketts
South Dakota Sheep Field Day Research Reports, 1967
Creep feeding is a means of providing supplemental feed for lambs during the nursing period. It is usually more advantageous with an early lambing program than with a late lambing program. Creep feeding has the following advantages. 1) It increases grains, especially for lambs from multiple births, 2) the lambs use supplemental feed from efficiently at this time than after weaning, 3) lambs can be marketed at a younger age, 4) for early lambs, earlier marketing usually means higher prices, and 5) early lambs can be sold without going to pasture; thus more ewes can be carried on available pasture …
The Nutrition Of Ewes, F. W. Whetzal
The Nutrition Of Ewes, F. W. Whetzal
South Dakota Sheep Field Day Research Reports, 1967
Sheep are ruminant animals consequently a large proportion of their nutritional requirements can be met with roughage feeds. With this in mind , then the basis of a good ration for ewes is adequate pasture or other top quality forages. The need for supplemental feeding of protein, energy, minerals and/or vitamins to meet the nutritive requirements will depend upon the amount and quality of forage consumed and on the different stages of a ewes reproductive cycle. A mature breeding ewe can be regarded as having about 6 months of critical nutrition needs while a maintenance ration is adequate during the …

Genetic Improvement In Sheep, Francis Crandall
Genetic Improvement In Sheep, Francis Crandall
South Dakota Sheep Field Day Research Reports, 1967
The objective in a sheep enterpreise is, or should be, the economical production of high-quality meat and wool. How well the producer achieves this objective is determined by a combination of several factors. They can be grouped broadly as (1) breeding, (2) feeding and management, and (3) marketing and servicing for consumption. Animal breeding is the first step in the efficient production of sheep and wool.
Sheep Health Under Intensive Programs, M. E. Mansfield
Sheep Health Under Intensive Programs, M. E. Mansfield
South Dakota Sheep Field Day Research Reports, 1967
Changes in livestock enterprise that intensify the operation will minimize some disease and parasite problems but may increase others. The animal health program must be geared to meet such changes. Some recommendations can be made on the basis of experience and research with sheep, while others may need to be predicted from experience gained from other livestock operations.
Urea And Nitrate Interrelationships In Sheep Under Feedlot Conditions, D. W. Hoar, L. B. Embry, H. R. King, R. J. Emerick
Urea And Nitrate Interrelationships In Sheep Under Feedlot Conditions, D. W. Hoar, L. B. Embry, H. R. King, R. J. Emerick
South Dakota Sheep Field Day Research Reports, 1967
Several sources of nonorotein nitrogen, including urea and nitrate, are known to be utilized by rumen microbes for protein synthesis after conversion to a common intermediate, ammonia. This has led to the speculation that the presence of urea may result in a decrease in the utilization of nitrate or its reduction products, thereby increasing the apparent toxicity of nitrate.
The experiments reported herein were ccnducted to determine if measurable urea-nitrate interrelationahios exist in sheep under feedlot conditions, and the extent of nitrogen utilization from urea and nitrate by sheep fed rations containing otherwise suboptimum quantities of crude protein.

Effect Of Restricted Feeding In Gravid Sows, R.W. Seerley, R.D. Magstadt
Effect Of Restricted Feeding In Gravid Sows, R.W. Seerley, R.D. Magstadt
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Restricted-feeding of sows has been widely accepted as a method of feeding during pregnancy. However, the best level of feeding during specific phases of the pregnancy period has not been well established. This study was initiated to compare two schemes of feeding the same ration, but the total quantity of feed consumed during pregnancy was the same between the two treatment groups.

Productivity In A Crossbred Herd Of Swine, J.W. Mccarty, Albert Dittman
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Records available for the rotation breed cross herd at the North Central Substation, Eureka, provide a look at what happens to herd performance, over time, in a herd in which an attempt is made to apply information learned from research about breeding for performance. This herd is maintained under conditions and management similar to many commercial swine operations. Herd management was described in some detail in A.S. Series 65-26 (S.D.S.U. Swine Day, 1965). The breeding program is a systematic rotation breed cross, with a new generation each year. Replacement gilts are selected from each pig crop with emphasis on litter …
Diets For Early Weaned Pigs, R.W. Seerley
Diets For Early Weaned Pigs, R.W. Seerley
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Several expensive ingredients are normally included in baby pig rations for optimum performance of the pigs. Some of these ingredients are rolled (hulled ) oats, dried skimmilk, dried whey, sugar and high levels of antibiotics. They are added to improve palatability, increase digestibility of the ration and protect the pigs from scours and harmful microflora. Most of the rations are highly fortified with vitamins. All of these materials, plus pelleting, make the ration rather expensive. Studies at the Minnesota station have shown that pigs do well on the sophisticated rations, but the response over a more simple ration is not …

Factors Affecting Nutrient Requirement Of Sows During Pregnancy, R.W. Seerley
Factors Affecting Nutrient Requirement Of Sows During Pregnancy, R.W. Seerley
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
If restricted feeding is contemplated, a few points deserve special consideration in the feeding program. When the program is geared to meet the needs of the individual sow and not feed excessive quantities of nutrients, more planning is necessary to properly feed each sow.
Studies On Supplementing Barley Rations For Growing-Finishing Pigs, R.W. Seerley, J.W. Mccarty, Albert Dittman
Studies On Supplementing Barley Rations For Growing-Finishing Pigs, R.W. Seerley, J.W. Mccarty, Albert Dittman
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
In north central South Dakota, barley is more readily available as a feed for swine than is corn. A number of studies have shown that barley either as the only grain or as part of the grain in swine rations supports satisfactory growth. Barley has higher protein content than corn but also greater fiber content. Like all cereal grains, it is considered low in both minerals and vitamins, and supplemental protein is usually recommended. A series of trials using barley as the only grain in rations for growing finishing swine have been conducted at the Experiment Station's North Central Substation, …
Steps To Higher Litter Average, L.J. Kortan
Steps To Higher Litter Average, L.J. Kortan
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Swine producers in the U.S. farrow approximately 13 million sows each year. From these sows 120 million or more pigs are born. Survey studies show that after one week of age, approximately 20% of these pigs are dead, and within three weeks another 5 to 10% die. The loss of 20 to 25 million newborn pigs during the first few weeks of their life represents a staggering loss of potential profits which the swine industry is forced to bear. If you are one of the producers that keep losses down to at least half of this average loss, then you …
A Discussion Of Mastitis Metritis Agalactia Syndrome, Keith Vansteenbergh
A Discussion Of Mastitis Metritis Agalactia Syndrome, Keith Vansteenbergh
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Symptoms of mastitis metritis a galactia syndrome in sows are lack of appetite, stop in milk flow, fever of 103 to 105, shivering or trembling, a hot firm udder 24 to 72 hours after farrowing. Most often there is a white mucoid discharge from the vulva. Sows may or may not allow newborn pigs to nurse, with the result that newborn pigs starve to death. Sows will have normal litters of pigs, or may have weak or stillborn pigs.
Effect Of Heating On The Nutritional Value Of Grains, Robert W. Seerley
Effect Of Heating On The Nutritional Value Of Grains, Robert W. Seerley
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Temperature is a part of the environment and it undoubtedly has some influence on all grains. The term heating is rather vague to us because there are several types of heat and there is not a definite temperature at the start of heating. Also, destruction of the nutritional value of grain may occur in the case of fire or normal heating after harvesting. On the other side of the coin, the nutritional value of grains may be improved by heat treatment. Heat is used in a variety of ways as a part of the total process of improving feed grains …
Effect Of Supplementing Low-Protein Rations With Lysine In The Drinking Water, R.W. Seerley
Effect Of Supplementing Low-Protein Rations With Lysine In The Drinking Water, R.W. Seerley
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
One of several objectives in a swine feeding program is to make optimum use of the protein in the diet. The balance of amino acids in the ration will be use d more for maximum gains and efficiency of feed utilization. The percent crude protein in the ration can be less than present standards, provided the amino acid supply is adequate and present in the proper ratio . On the other hand, meat type animals require adequate protein for muscle development, which increases the need for more protein in the ration. Because the competition for protein feed will be come …
Effect Of Iron, Lysine, Vitamins And An Antibiotic In Water On Growing-Finishing Swine, R.W. Seerley
Effect Of Iron, Lysine, Vitamins And An Antibiotic In Water On Growing-Finishing Swine, R.W. Seerley
South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1966
Several studies have been conducted at this station with nutrients or additives in the water, but studies have not been made on treatments with several nutrients and additives in combination. If water is used as a means of feeding nutrients, then it is reasonable that several nutrients could be fed in the water. The following experiment was conducted as a preliminary investigation on the effects of several nutrients and an antibiotic in water.
