Feeding Poultry For Profit, Glen Hart, C. W. Carlson Jun 1954

Feeding Poultry For Profit, Glen Hart, C. W. Carlson

SDSU Extension Circulars

Feeding poultry for profit involves essentially the use of top quality stock, proper management and care, proper facilities, and last, but certainly not least important, a good feed. The feed accounts for well over 50 per cent of the cost of poultry, meat and egg production, hence its importance cannot be considered lightly. A good feed supplies all of the essential nutrients in the required amounts for each type of production.

Agricultural Education Through News, Burton Seeker Jun 1954

Agricultural Education Through News, Burton Seeker

SDSU Extension Circulars

If a visitor came into your office and offered to influence a thousand people in your behalf, with no cost or obligation to you, would you take him up on it? Your job is education. Your problem is reaching the great number of people in your county with the wealth of information you have at hand. Of course you would jump at the chance. That man is your local newspaperman. Extension education is primarily a proposition of personal contacts through schools, meetings, field tours and farm visits. Yet not everyone is enrolled in your crop improvement association or home demonstration …

Irrigation Research In The James River Basin: A Five-Year Progress Report, V. A. Dirks, J. E. Grafius, D. D. Harpstead, D. B. Shank Jun 1954

Irrigation Research In The James River Basin: A Five-Year Progress Report, V. A. Dirks, J. E. Grafius, D. D. Harpstead, D. B. Shank

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

The prospect of irrigation in the James River Basin has created much interest in the past few years. To provide a scientific foundation and proceed with a minimum of costly trial and error, research on crop varieties, soil fertility and management, pastures, and water management was increased in the area in 19 4 8. Experiments were conducted on non-irrigated and irrigated land to determine the results and benefits under each condition. The expanded research work was conducted primarily on the Huron Development Farm and the Red field Development Farm.

Economic Use Of Grain And Forage In Livestock Production, C. M. Johnson, S. R. Stangeland Jun 1954

Economic Use Of Grain And Forage In Livestock Production, C. M. Johnson, S. R. Stangeland

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Every farmer must make production decisions. He must decide which crop and livestock enterprises and what production practices can be profitably employed on his farm. He can make these decisions-hit or miss fashion-with little or no factual information and without the benefit of a plan or production program. In contrast, he can base his decisions upon a carefully planned production program which uses a wealth of information on physical inputs and outputs, costs of production, and prices received for the items produced. The most effective farm planning is done by means of budgets. Usually several different production plans must be …

Feeding Pigs Trace Mineralized Salt, R. C. Wahlstrom, R. F. Wilson Jun 1954

Feeding Pigs Trace Mineralized Salt, R. C. Wahlstrom, R. F. Wilson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

The USE of trace-mineralized salt in animal feeding has increased during recent years. Experimental work at several experiment stations has shown that the addition of the trace minerals, manganese, cobalt, iron, copper and iodine, to a ration will often improve growth and feed efficiency in swine. In these experiments trace minerals have been added directly to the mixed ration and have not shown the value of a trace-mineralized salt when included in a mineral mixture fed free choice. Although trace minerals may not always be needed, the simplest manner of adding them to a ration is to self-feed a mineral …

Soil Survey And Land Valuation For Tax Purposes, A. J. Klingelhoets, F. C. Westin Jun 1954

Soil Survey And Land Valuation For Tax Purposes, A. J. Klingelhoets, F. C. Westin

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

The responsibility of assessing farm real estate for taxation purposes falls to the tax assessor. Even though most assessors have a sincere desire to achieve an equitable relationship between individual farms, justifiable criticism has been directed against the present taxation procedure for many years. Too often determination of the assessed value of rural property has been based upon average values for an area and upon the management of land rather than on such basic factors as types of soils, location and accessibility. Some farmers have decided against making improvements to the farmstead, such as a needed paint job or repair …

Feeding The Dairy Herd For Profit, R. A. Cave, D. F. Breazeale, Chase Wilson, Ervin Kurtz, Emery Bartle May 1954

Feeding The Dairy Herd For Profit, R. A. Cave, D. F. Breazeale, Chase Wilson, Ervin Kurtz, Emery Bartle

SDSU Extension Circulars

Dairy cows, in order to make milk in large quantities, must be supplied with liberal amounts of the raw material from which milk can be made. That means good feed. The average production of South Dakota milk cows for the year 1952 was 4170 pounds of milk and 156 pounds of butterfat. Much of this relativ~ly low production is due to poor feed and lack of enough feed. Production and feed records shown in Table IV - page 25 reveal that one way to get increased production is to give the cows more feed. Feed is the greatest single item …

Alfalfa Hay, Alfalfa Silage And Corn Silage For Fattening Lambs, R. M. Jordan Apr 1954

Alfalfa Hay, Alfalfa Silage And Corn Silage For Fattening Lambs, R. M. Jordan

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Roughages constitute a high percentage of a lamb fattening ration (50 percent or more). Feeding the most efficient forage will therefore play a major role in reducing the cost of fattening lambs. With the advent of modern forage cutters, stacked silage, and the more extensive use of trench and upright silos, considerable interest has been expressed as to the feeding value of alfalfa silage compared to alfalfa hay or corn silage. In order to compare the feeding value of alfalfa silage with alfalfa hay or corn silage, three feeding trials were conducted by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station.

Agricultural Production Trends In South Dakota, Robert J. Antonides Jan 1954

Agricultural Production Trends In South Dakota, Robert J. Antonides

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Many South Dakotans who are concerned with agriculture in the State have been interested in obtaining some means of comparing agricultural production over the years. Total income from agricultural products sold gives a very rough estimate of trends, but does not take into account the many other farm products which are not sold but used on the farm. The indexes presented here account for all of the output of the farms of South Dakota with the exception of some very minor crops and farm gardens. The present study is the first attempt to combine all of the various types of …

A Microchemical Modification Of The Mccarthy And Sullivan Method For The Determination Of Methionine, Emilia Rodelas Joson Jan 1954

A Microchemical Modification Of The Mccarthy And Sullivan Method For The Determination Of Methionine, Emilia Rodelas Joson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Methionine was discovered in 1922 by Mueller (33) and was first known as Mueller’s acid. In 1928 Barger and Coyne (6) found that it was a methylated sulfur compound known as alpha-amino-gamma-methyl thio-butryic acid and later gave it the present shorter name of methionine. Rose and his associates (34) have shown that it is the essential sulfur amino acid and not cysteine as was formerly thought. Methionine plays an important role in the growth of plants and animals: first, as a methylating agent; second, as an amino acid essential for the building of tissue proteins; third, as a source of …

Effects Of Antibiotics Fed To Pigs During The Growing-Fattening Period, Harold John Kurtz Jan 1954

Effects Of Antibiotics Fed To Pigs During The Growing-Fattening Period, Harold John Kurtz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many South Dakota farmers depend upon the pig enterprise for a portion of their yearly income. According to the South Dakota Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, approximately 19 per cent of the cash farm income of South Dakota is obtained from the marketing of hogs. The successful swine producer’s primary objective is to receive the greatest possible financial return for his investment and labor. In order to accomplish this aim, it is often desirable to feed a ration which produces as fast a rate of gain as possible without sacrificing feed efficiency or carcass quality. The growth response obtained by …

A Market News Service For Livestock Auctions In South Dakota, Gerald E. Marousek Jan 1954

A Market News Service For Livestock Auctions In South Dakota, Gerald E. Marousek

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Auction sales are an important marketing medium for livestock in this country today. This method of selling is not a new or novel one. The selling of livestock through auctions was probably adapted from Great Britain, and first used in this country in the early nineteenth century. These sales were most often held to dispose of imported and domestic breeding stock. The first regularly scheduled auction sale with publicly consigned merchandise was established at Union, Iowa in 1904. From this beginning the number of livestock auctions increased, especially after 1930. This increase was particularly rapid in the twelve Western States …

A Study Of The Effects Of Aureomycin Upon The Microflora Of The Ovine Rumen, Milton Allison Jan 1954

A Study Of The Effects Of Aureomycin Upon The Microflora Of The Ovine Rumen, Milton Allison

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Growth stimulation in domestic animals due to dietary supplementations of antibiotics has received a great deal of attention in the last few years. Moore and co-workers in 1946 (35) observed that the addition of streptomycin to the diet of chicks led to increased growth responses and in 1948 Harned et al. (17) administered aureomycin to chicks and he also noted an increased growth rate. Little significance was attached to these discoveries and the present interest in antibiotics as feed supplements is the result of investigations by Stokstad and co-workers in 1949 (40) with cultures of Streptomyces griseus and Streptomyces aureofaciens …

Effect Of Alfalfa Meal And Brewers Dried Yeast On Digestibility Of Different Qualities Of Prairie Hay By Cattle And Sheep, Leo Dubose Jan 1954

Effect Of Alfalfa Meal And Brewers Dried Yeast On Digestibility Of Different Qualities Of Prairie Hay By Cattle And Sheep, Leo Dubose

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Roughages are one of the most important feeding stuffs, and a large quantity is produced each year that has a little market value except as a feed for ruminants. Cattle and sheep are able to consume and utilize efficiently large quantities of roughages when they are supplied with an adequate amount of nutrients essential for the animal and for an active bacterial population in the rumen. However, roughages vary considerably in their nutrient content and, thus, in their value as a feed, depending upon many factors, some of which are discussed in the review of literature. It is important that …
