Interpreting Hay And Haylage Analysis, Alvaro Garcia, Nancy Thiex, Kenneth Kalscheur, Kent Tjardes

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Feed test results can be used to: (1) balance rations, (2) improve future crop management if present forage is of unsatisfactory quality, and (3) determine equitable prices for feedstuffs based on nutritive value. Results of analysis are expressed on an “as-received” and on a “100% dry matter (DM)” basis. As-received is sometimes also referred to “as-fed” or “fresh.” It includes the water or moisture in the feed. Nutrients expressed on this basis represent the nutrient content of the feed when it was received at the lab.

Alternative Feeds For Horses, Koyla Kruse

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Feeding a horse is probably the largest cost of horse ownership. The nutrition the horse needs and the availability (therefore, price) of the feed must be carefully balanced. Many options are available. Traditional feeds for horses typically are grass or alfalfa hay, corn, oats, and/or a molasses-based sweet feed of some type. Some years, good quality forage may be too expensive or unavailable. In other cases, you may want to cut costs or better utilize more readily available feeds. Following is a guide to the safety and efficacy of feeds not traditionally fed to horses.

Hand Washing Is Top Priority For Food Stands, Joan Hegerfeld, Barb Converse

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Your church, club, group or organization may plan an activity that involves serving food outdoors or in locations where it can be difficult to keep the food safe and maintain proper sanitary practices. Good hygiene is crucial in preventing foodborne illness. To protect the public, workers in temporary food stands must make a special effort to wash their hands. Hand washing is an important task that many people fail to do.

Reproductive Assessment Of Horses During Post-Breeding Season, Koyla Kruse

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

PLANNING FOR NEXT SEASON In late summer, the large majority of breeding is completed for the year and if things have gone as planned, the mares have settled. This is a good time to begin planning for the next season in order to avoid the full schedule of a breeding season in progress. Early attention to the animals’ individual health can cause next year’s breeding season to be successful with less cost and frustration when spring comes again. A mare’s normal, biological breeding season starts in mid-April and often extends through October. But most breeding activity is completed in July, …

The Effects Of Trace Mineral Inclusion Management On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Recwived Feeder Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of trace mineral inclusion management on the performance and mineral status of newly received feeder calves. Steers from 2 pastures at a single ranch in Western South Dakota blocked into non-implanted (NI; n = 64; BW = 240 kg), May implanted (MI; n = 64; BW 252 kg;) and August implanted (AI; n = 66; BW = 248 kg;) groups, then allotted to one of two treatment groups. Treatments consisted of either: a pelleted supplement fed at a fixed amount to meet the gram / daily requirement (GDR) of Cu …

A Long-Term Database For Plankton Populations And Nutrient Levels In Prairie Lakes, Lois Haertel

Oak Lake Field Station Research Publications

A database for prairie lake phytoplankton populations, zooplankton populations, physical variables and chemical variables is presented. Samples are taken from two time periods, 1970-1979 and 1988-1997. Six lakes, Pickerel, Enemy Swim, Cochrane, Hendricks, Oak and Bitter were sampled during both time periods. Bluedog lake was sampled only in the earlier time period and Roy, East Oakwood, Tetonkaha, Round, and South Buffalo lakes were only sampled in the later time period. Water transparency and population numbers of copepods and cladocerans declined in five of the six lakes sampled in both time periods. Chlorophyll a concentrations and Trophic State Index increased in …

Putting A Value On Cornstalks, Donald Guthmiller

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Beef producers in hard-hit drought areas of South Dakota have expressed interest in purchasing baled cornstalks from growers in the eastern part of the state. There is no hard-and-fast rule about what to charge for a bale. Cornstalks, supplemented properly, can supply the nutritional needs for beef cows in moderately good condition during the fall and early winter. The advantage of using cornstalks as roughage for beef cows is the availability and the low cost. In most situations stalks can be used for livestock bedding as well. As in any market, buyer and seller must settle on a price. There …

Incorporating High Nitrate Feed Into Feeding Programs, Trey Patterson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

When drought hits and feed is short, producers wonder if they can provide high nitrate feeds to their cattle. The answer is “Yes, if you know what you’re doing.” Nitrates can be very dangerous to cattle, causing reduced performance, abortions, and death. Know the toxicity symptoms and toxic levels of nitrates before using high nitrate feedstuffs in your feeding program. Refer to SDSU Extension Extra 4015 (Nitrate Poisoning of Livestock) for specifics regarding nitrate poisoning and guidelines for safe nitrate levels in animal diets. While nitrates feeds are dangerous to cattle, they can be fed if properly managed. Toxic effects …

Limit-Feeding Cows In A Drylot, Cody Wright

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Providing forage for cow herds is normally paramount to maintaining a desirable level of productivity. But during drought years, the supply of standing and harvested forages may be extremely limited and/or very expensive. Relocating the cow herd into drylot is a management alternative that may allow producers to take advantage of inexpensive grains and byproduct feeds to formulate cost effective cow diets.

Feeding Corn Distiller's Co-Products To Beef Cattle, Kent Tjardes

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The ethanol industry is currently in the midst of a considerable expansion period in South Dakota and surrounding states. As more ethanol plants are built and begin production, the availability of co-products for livestock feed will increase dramatically. Co-products may offer the cattle industry a tremendous opportunity to reduce feed costs without sacrificing performance. However, there are significant challenges that must be met before feeding these products. The majority of the new plants utilize a dry milling process to produce ethanol from corn. Dry milling (mash distillation) involves cleaning and grinding the grain into coarse flour. Then water and enzymes …

Teff: A New Annual Forage Grass For South Dakota?, Edward K. Twidwell, Arvid Boe, David P. Casper

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Teff (Eragrostis tef Zucc. Trotter) is a major cereal crop in Ethiopia and has been grown in other African countries as a hay crop. Teff is a warm-season, annual grass that has rapid seed germination and seedling development. It also is well adapted to dry climates. These qualities indicate that teff could be used in this region of the U.S. as a supplemental forage during periods when other forage supplies are diminished. In South Dakota, late summer is when forage supplies are typically low. Teff has been marketed recently in South Dakota under the name “Dessie Summer Lovegrass.” This marketing …
