Swine Production Guide For South Dakota 4-H Club Members, L. J. Kortan

SDSU Extension Circulars

Formerly there were two general types of swine: the lard type and the bacon type. Today, in general, all breeds are considered meat type and are being developed as meat hogs. The more popular breeds are: Hampshire, Berkshire, Yorkshire, Pol.and China, Chesterwhite, Durocs, Spotted Poland China, Tamworth and Landrace. Note the lifelike picture of a finished market hog on this page. An animal like this carries a high percentage of its weight in the most valuable cuts; the ham loins and bacon sides. This is the type of hog now in demand, a type to keep in mind when planning …

Prices And Costs For Use In Farm And Ranch Planning, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The prices of most things farmers and ranchers produce will vary widely in future years as they have in the past. It is not possible to reorganize a farm or ranch every time there is a variation in prices. The benefits of a given crop rotation can only be secured after several years. When crop rotations are changed fields and fences may also need to be changed. Buildings may need to be built or remodeled to handle the new crops. Livestock enterprises should be chosen with regard to the crops produced. Since many years are often required to establish profitable …

Effects Of Preservatives On Alfalfa Silage For Dairy Cattle, H. H. Voelker, E. Bartle

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

Legume silages have been fed at the South Dakota State College Agricultural Experiment Station for many years. More intensive research on preserving, feeding value, and losses under controlled conditions have been done in the past 5 years.
The following experiments were initiated to gain more information on preservation, losses, and feeding value of alfalfa when preserved as silage and fed to dairy cows.

On-The-Farm Commercial Swine Selection Program, L.J. Kortan

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1957

Selecting high quality brood sows and boars is the first step toward increased productivity and desirable meat type pork. To support this idea, a project of swine production and carcass testing for South Dakota Swine Producers is suggested.

The Effect Of Vitamin D In Rations For Growing Pigs Fed In The Absence Of Direct Sunlight, Richard C. Wahlstrom

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1957

Previous to this experiment two trials were conducted here that did not indicate a need for supplemental vitamin D for growing pigs fed in the absence of direct sunlight. In these previous trials a complete mixed ration containing recommended amounts of calcium and phosphorus was fed. The experiment reported here was conducted to see if supplemental vitamin D was required for growing pigs in the absence of sunlight when a mineral supplement was fed free-choice as cell as when a complete mixed ration was fed.

Meal Planning For South Dakota 4-H Girls, Jane Meyer

SDSU Extension Circulars

Cooking's fun, so let's begin! Even if you're a very young 4-H girl, you can cook. But, you must start with simple foods. As you learn more, and practice, cooking will be easier. You can then make more difficult dishes, and even plan and prepare some family meals. Let's start by learning some basic rules. You need to be neat and clean; you should always be safe; you should measure correctly; you must know how to read recipes. A good cook knows and follows these rules. You'll want to know them too!

The Future Of Federal Land Use Purchase Projects In South Dakota, L. Grover

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

To understand the federal land purchase program of 1933-42, one must have knowledge of the settlement of the Great Plains and the pattern of land ownership and land use which developed in that region. For that reason a brief review of the settlement of western South Dakota and the development of conditions leading to the federal purchase in that area will be presented.

Rat And Mouse Control On The Farm, John A. Lofgren

SDSU Extension Circulars

Each year the Norway ( or brown) rat and the common house mouse consume thousands of bushels of grain and other foods on South Dakota farms. They attack grain in the field and in farm storage. At the time they consume the grain they also pollute and contaminate it by their droppings, urine and hair. Every 24 hours each rat voids an average of 70 pellets and about 15 cc of urine. Such contamination makes food grains subject to seizure by the Food and Drug Administration because they are unfit for human use. The monetary losses resulting from such seizure …

Sporadic Bovine Encephalomyelitis, G.S. Harshfield

Agricultural Experiment Station Technical Bulletins (1939-2011)

Sporadic bovine encephalomyelitis (SBE) is a specific infections disease of cattle caused by an agent belonging to the psittacosis-lympho-granuloma group of viruses. This disease is not of frequent occurrence in this country, so many livestock men and veterinarians are not familiar with it. In herds where SBE has occurred it has sometimes accounted for serious loss, not only in deaths but also in weight loss. SBE is important to veterinarians from the standpoint of differential diagnosis as it is often mistaken for shipping fever or various diseases affecting the nervous system. Outbreaks of SBE in eastern South Dakota and western …

Parakeratosis: A Nutritional Disease Of Swine, R. C. Wahlstrom

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

A skin disease of swine called parakeratosis has become increasingly prevalent in South Dakota and throughout the United States during the past few years. Minnesota investigators first described parakeratosis in 1953 and suggested that it was of nutritional origin. Recent research at several experiment stations has shown that high levels of calcium and phosphorus in the ration were associated with the disease and that the addition of zinc had a curative effect. Swine affected by parakeratosis have reduced appetite, fail to grow normally, and often exhibit diarrhea during the early stages of the disease. The skin lesions appear almost simultaneously …

Agricultural Research At The Reed Ranch Substation: A Progress Report, J. Rahn, C. A. Dinkel, J. A. Minyard, E. I. Whitehead

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Reed Ranch is located in Lyman County about midway between Pierre and Presho. It consists of 2,160 acres used for grazing and hay production. This ranch has been used for nearly 20 years as a field laboratory for selenium research. On November 16, 1936, an agreement between the South Dakota State College Agricultural Experiment Station and the South Central South Dakota Land Adjustment Project of the Resettlement Administration outlined a program of cooperative research dealing with selenium poisoning. The program was initiated during 1937 and has continued since. As governmental organization has changed over the intervening years, the cooperating agency …
