Preventative Feeding Of The Dairy Cow In Transition, Alvaro Garcia, Arnold Hippen Dec 2008

Preventative Feeding Of The Dairy Cow In Transition, Alvaro Garcia, Arnold Hippen

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The transition period in the lactating dairy cow is characterized by decreased feed intake that starts late in the close-up period and recovers several days after calving. This drop in intake results in an imbalance between required and absorbed nutrients. Other factors that are related to the volume and physical form of the feed can lead to problems frequently observed at calving time. In general, the veterinary diagnosis is based upon clinical symptoms of certain ailments. For greater chances of success and decreased treatment costs, it’s necessary to detect these ailments during their subclinical stage, or, better yet, to prevent …

Muscle-Bone Relationships In The Lower Leg Of Healthy Pre-Pubertal Females And Males, Teresa L. Binkley, Bonny Specker Jul 2008

Muscle-Bone Relationships In The Lower Leg Of Healthy Pre-Pubertal Females And Males, Teresa L. Binkley, Bonny Specker

Ethel Austin Martin Program Publications

Muscle-bone relationships in healthy pre-pubertal children were investigated using four muscle measures as predictors of tibial strength: 66% tibia cross-sectional muscle area (CSMA) by pQCT; leg lean mass (LLM) by DXA; and muscle power (Power) and force (Force) measured during a two-footed jump. Polar strength strain index (pSSI), a calculated surrogate for bone strength at the 20% distal tibia, was obtained on 105 (54 male) self-assessed pre-pubertal children. The amount of muscle (CSMA, LLM) may influence bone strength more than muscle strength (Power, Force) during periods of rapid growth. Correlations and multiple regression partial-R values from models controlling for age, …

Grid Marketing And Beef Carcass Quality: A Discussion Of Issues And Trends, Scott Fausti, Bashir Qasmi, Matthew Diersen Jun 2008

Grid Marketing And Beef Carcass Quality: A Discussion Of Issues And Trends, Scott Fausti, Bashir Qasmi, Matthew Diersen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Beef industry data suggest that improvements in carcass yield and quality grades have stagnated recently. Empirical analysis, based on USDA market reports, indicates that the share of steer slaughter volume marketed on a grid is less than industry estimates and the growth in market share has stagnated. Trend analysis of market share suggests that grid pricing has become an important marketing channel, but has not become the dominant marketing channel. The lack of industry progress toward achieving the carcass quality goals suggests that grid pricing has not captured the level of market share needed to realize the goals envisioned for …


Feeding Dairy Cows For Body Condition Score, Alvaro Garcia, Arnold Hippen Jun 2008

Feeding Dairy Cows For Body Condition Score, Alvaro Garcia, Arnold Hippen

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Changes in body weight are not a very good indicator of the nutritional status of dairy cows. For example, while the gut contents of a 1400 lb. dairy cow weigh approximately 200 lbs., the cow has a daily intake of nearly 100 lbs. of feed (fresh weight) and 160 to 240 lbs. of water (one gallon equals 8 lbs). In addition, the cow outputs over 120 lbs. of fresh manure and urine per day (NRC 2001), as well as 50 to 100-plus lbs. of milk. Thus, the ability to accurately depict actual changes in body mass via body weight measurements …


Sun-Drying: A Traditional Native American Method Of Preserving Food, Lorna Saboe-Wounded Head Jun 2008

Sun-Drying: A Traditional Native American Method Of Preserving Food, Lorna Saboe-Wounded Head

SDSU Extension Special Series

Traditional food preservation methods have continued to be used among Native American tribes and communities in South Dakota. Elders teach youth about the traditional practice of sun-drying corn and wild berries through the hands-on process of working together with family. Buffalo meat was also traditionally sun-dried; this practice is now more commonly done through the use of a food dehydrator. Jerky or bapa (dried buffalo meat used in soups and stews) and sun-dried corn and wild berries are a healthy food which has traditionally provided sustenance to the Native American diet.


Sulfur In Distillers Grains For Dairy Cattle, D. Schingoethe, A. Garcia, K. Kalscheur, A. Hippen Jun 2008

Sulfur In Distillers Grains For Dairy Cattle, D. Schingoethe, A. Garcia, K. Kalscheur, A. Hippen

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Sulfur is an essential element needed by animals for many functions. About 0.15% of body weight is sulfur. It is found in the amino acids methionine, cysteine, cystine, homocysteine, and taurine; in chondroitin sulfate of cartilage; and in the B-vitamins thiamin and biotin. Methionine, thiamin, and biotin cannot be synthesized in cattle tissues, so they must be supplied in the diet or synthesized by ruminal microbes. The sulfur content of most feed sources reflects the sulfur amino acid content of the proteins in the feed. See table 1 for example sulfur concentrations for various feed ingredients.


Reproductive Fertility In Herd Bulls, George Perry, Julie Walker, Russ Daly Jun 2008

Reproductive Fertility In Herd Bulls, George Perry, Julie Walker, Russ Daly

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Herd bulls have a large influence on many aspects of beef operations, especially an operation’s profitability. For example, percent calf crop weaned is the single most important factor influencing profitability, and the number of cows bred during the breeding season plays the largest role in percent calf crop weaned. Therefore, an operation’s profitability is directly tied to the herd bull’s breeding ca¬pability. In addition, herd bulls supply half of the genetics to all the calves he sires; therefore, bull selection can be the most powerful method of genetic improvement in the herd. Herd bulls also influence overall herd fertility more …


Alimentación De Las Vacas Lecheras Para Condición Corporal, Alvaro Garcia, Arnold Hippen Jun 2008

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Los cambios en el peso corporal no son buen indicador del estado nutricional de las vacas lecheras. Por ejemplo, mientras que el contenido de las vísceras de una vaca de 1400 lb. pesa aproximadamente 200 lbs., la vaca tiene un consumo diario de cerca de 100 lbs. de alimento (peso fresco) y 160 a 240 lbs. de agua (un galón equivale a 8 lbs). Además, la vaca elimina más de 120 lbs. de estiércol y orina diarios (NRC 2001), así como 50 a 100-o más lbs. de leche. Por tanto, la abilidad de describir de forma precisa los cambios reales …

Bull Nutrition, Julie Walker, George Perry, Ken Olsen May 2008

Bull Nutrition, Julie Walker, George Perry, Ken Olsen

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Bull nutrition is often overlooked by many producers, except when problems arise. Bulls are often managed as one group even though there may be large differences in age, size, and body condition. Seedstock producers are the primary individuals managing the development program of bulls being sold. For commercial producers, feeding programs usually include feeding purchased bull(s) from delivery until the breeding season and bulls retained from one breeding season to the next. The debate over the correct method for developing bulls is not settled: Should you develop bulls at a moderate rate of gain? Or should you develop bulls on …


Health Of The Herd Bull, Russ Daly May 2008

Health Of The Herd Bull, Russ Daly

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The importance of the herd bull to the reproductive performance and profitability of cow herds that utilize natural service cannot be underestimated. Health problems in a bull may result either in decreased fertility in that bull or, in the worst case, in an infectious disease that could spread to the rest of the breeding herd, with disastrous results for herd fertility. For these reasons, the health of incoming and existing herd bulls is of utmost importance.

Formulating Mineral Supplements For Beef Cows, Cody Wright Feb 2008

Formulating Mineral Supplements For Beef Cows, Cody Wright

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Mineral nutrition of beef cattle is one component of ruminant nutrition that most producers address by simply purchasing a commercial supplement for their herd. However, this practice, while generally effective, can be wasteful. In many cases, commercial mineral supplements are formulated to provide in excess of 100% of the nutrient requirements for many different minerals. However, at least a portion of the minerals required by beef cows are provided by the feeds the cows are consuming. The formulation of supplements to supply only what the animal needs may provide an opportunity for cost savings. This paper will describe the process …

For most Americans, shopping takes little time and planning. When one runs out of sugar, a trip to the nearest grocery store is quick and easy. This trip may be more annoying and inconvenient if you live in certain rural areas. Declining populations combined with the loss of jobs often leads to grocery stores serving larger areas. Communities that lack easy access to food supplies, usually because of the lack of grocery stores, are considered food deserts.


Review And Analysis Of International And Budgetary Considerations For The 2007 U.S. Farm Bill, Bashir Qasmi, Evert Van Der Sluis Jan 2008

Review And Analysis Of International And Budgetary Considerations For The 2007 U.S. Farm Bill, Bashir Qasmi, Evert Van Der Sluis

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

We assess the extent to which national budget considerations, international trade negotiations, and domestic political deliberations affect the potential development of an omnibus farm bill, which may be signed into law in 2008. With no successful conclusion of the Doha Development Round of trade negotiations in sight, U.S. legislators appear unable to make politically unpopular decisions on domestic farm policy reform. However, the absence of an international trade agreement does not reduce the need for the U.S. to comply with previous agreements.


The Efficacy Of The Grid Marketing Channel For Fed Cattle, Scott Fausti, Bashir Qasmi, Matthew Diersen Jan 2008

The Efficacy Of The Grid Marketing Channel For Fed Cattle, Scott Fausti, Bashir Qasmi, Matthew Diersen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Beef industry data suggest that beef carcass yield and quality grades have shown little improvement over the last six years. Empirical analysis, based on USDA public market reports, indicates that the share of steer slaughter volume marketed on a grid is less than industry estimates and the growth in grid market share of total steer slaughter is stagnate. Trend analysis of grid market share and carcass quality suggests that grid pricing has not made sufficient progress in achieving the goals envisioned for it as a value based marketing system. We conclude additional research on producer resistance to selling on a …

Early Season Weed Suppression In Buckwheat Using Clopyralid, Ona Sakaliene, Sharon A. Clay, William C. Koskinen, Gediminas Almantas Jan 2008

Early Season Weed Suppression In Buckwheat Using Clopyralid, Ona Sakaliene, Sharon A. Clay, William C. Koskinen, Gediminas Almantas

Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science Faculty Publications

Currently there are no herbicides registered for direct application to buckwheat for broadleaf weed control. This 4-yr Lithuanian study examined weed control using several rates of clopyralid alone or combined with a single rate of desmedipham. Most applications were applied at the 1-leaf stage of crop growth, however, one rate of clopyralid was applied pre-emergence (PRE) in 2 of the 4 yr. Buckwheat injury was evident within a few days after application (or emergence) with all treatments, but by harvest, no symptoms were evident. In the 2 yr with greatest weed densities, densities were reduced with increasing clopyralid rates alone …
