Growing Asparagus, David F. Graper, Rhoda Burrows

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Asparagus is an ancient vegetable, having been cultivated for over 2000 years. An ancient Roman author, Cato the Elder, in 200 B.C. wrote detailed directions for growing asparagus that are close to current recommendations. There are a number of species, but only one, Asparagus officinalis L., is cultivated for food. Asparagus is a favorite spring vegetable, both for its earliness and its distinctive taste. Not only is it low in calories, asparagus is an excellent source of vitamin A and contains significant amounts of calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, and vitamin C. Although commercial asparagus production in the United States is concentrated …

Managing Feedlot Cattle To Reduce Nutrient Waste, Julie Walker, Brad Johnson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Management opportunities can reduce feed costs and the cost of excess nutrient waste outputs. The key to controlling excess nutrient output is controlling nutrient intakes. The question becomes whether nutrient excretion can be reduced without negatively impacting animal performance?

Cow Longevity, Alvaro Garcia

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Making sure profitable cows continue to be profitable beyond their second lactation should have a positive economic impact on the net returns of a dairy farm. The rationale behind this statement is that rearing, fixed, and variable costs are spread over three or more lactations. Longevity has been defined as the ability for a cow to delay involuntary culling or to survive to 48 months of age. Productive life could thus be defined as the number of lactations a cow completes, or is expected to complete (death is usually unexpected!), prior to culling. The economic advantage of retaining a profitable …

South Dakota's Hog Market: Developments And Prospects, Matthew Diersen

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This paper examines the developments that have occurred in South Dakota's swine industry and offers insights into its future prospects. Data, trends, and literature related to this market were gathered in an effort to fill in specific gaps about South Dakota's market. Nationally and in South Dakota there are fewer producers raising hogs. The exit of relatively small producers from the industry reduced a seasonal spike of farrowings during the March-May quarter in recent years. A growing trend of in shipments, where feeder pigs are brought into South Dakota, finished, and marketed, has partially offset the reduction in farrowings. An …

Assessing The Body Composition Of 6-17 Year-Old Black And White Girls In Field Studies, John A. Morrison, Shumei S. Guo, Bonny L. Specker, Wm. Cameron Chumlea, Susan Z. Yanovski, Jack A. Yanovski

Ethel Austin Martin Program Publications

The purpose of the study was to develop ethnic-specific equations for fat-free mass (FFM) from selected anthropometric dimensions and bioelectrical impedance measures of resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) for use in the NHLBI Growth and Heath Study. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measures of body composition as the dependent variable and field measures of body composition by anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance as the explanatory variables, ethnic-specific prediction equations were developed on a sample of girls representing a wide range of ages and BMI. The equations were cross-validated using (1) the Prediction of Sum of Squares (PRESS) statistic and (2) an independent …

Measures Of Denitrification In Selected South Dakota Semi-Permanent Prairie Pothole Wetlands, Beverly S. Klein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Wetlands are an integral part of agricultural systems in the prairie pothole regions of the North Central United States and Canadian Provinces. Little research has been done on denitrification in prairie potholes, and a better understanding of their denitrifying capability could aide in optimizing management practices near pothole areas. Most probable number (MPN) and denitrifying enzyme activity (DEA or Phase I) assays were conducted. Most probable number (MPN) measures were used to give an estimate of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA) and denitrifying populations present in the wetlands. This study involved 3 selected semi-permanent prairie pothole wetlands near Madison, …

Defining Failure Of Passive Transfer In South Dakota Beef Calves, A. K. Courtney, W. B. Epperson, T. A. Wittig, R. J. Pruitt

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

Failure of calves to ingest and absorb immunoglobulin from colostrum is a risk factor for illness and decreased performance. Blood samples were taken from 752 calves at three SDSU research units. Total protein in blood, closely correlated to colostral immunoglobulin absorption, was determined and calf health records were collected. Using this data, a classification table of sensitivity and specificity was constructed to determine the relationship between total protein and calf illness and to classify calves as having adequate colostral absorption or inadequate colostral absorption (failure of passive transfer). Along with sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios were calculated …

The Influence Of Body Weight And Marbling Epd On The Relationship Of Intramuscular Fat Content And The Value Of Lean Retail Product In Serially Slaughtered Angus Steers, K. W. Bruns, R. H. Pritchard, D. L. Boggs

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

It is unclear how age, physiological maturity, and genetics affect intramuscular fat (IM) desposition in cattle. The study used beef cattle of known age and parentage to study the development of primal cuts, total carcass fat and IM fat depots as part of the growth process. Selecting cattle for marbling with the use of paternal grandsire's EPD for marbling was not indicative of differences in the onset or the rate, of development of marbling. Greater differences in EPD for marbling may be needed to observe phenotypic differences. Harvest group affected the level and extent of marbling (P<.10), however there was no harvest group x marbling group interactions indicating no differences occurred in the pattern of marbling development due to marbling EPD. Carcasses expressed a Small degree of marbling between the hot carcass weights of 550 and 650 Ibs. and at a back fat depth of approximately .30 in. In this study utilizing non-implanted steers of the same breed, we found that as days on feed increased, hot carcass weights, back fat depth, and percent carcass fat increased along with marbling score as well as percent 12th rib lipid content. No differences were observed in the weight of the primal cuts when expressed as a percentage of the chilled carcass between marbling groups at each of the five end points. As HCW increased across harvest groups, primal weight increased without a change in the percentage of the carcass represented by the middle meats (sirloin, shortloin, rib).

Comparison Of Estradiol-Trenbolone Acetate Implant Programs For Yearling Steers Of Two Genotypes, Robbi H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

Yearling steers (n = 400) were used to evaluate relative payout periods for implants when feeding high grain content diets. Implant treatments included (1) control (nonimplanted), (2) Synovex Plus, (3) revalor-S, and (4) Ralgrorevalor-S. The Synovex Plus (2), revalor-S (3) and Ralgro (4) were administered on day 1. The reimplant with revalor-s (4) was administered after 56 d on feed. Steers were managed in two groups. Initial BW and days fed were 782 Ib, 131 d (Group I), and 661 Ib, 145 d (Group 11). Implants increased production rates and efficiencies, increased carcass size and reduced marbling when compared to …

Field Peas In Finishing Cattle Diets And The Effect Of Processing, C. P. Birkelo, B. J. Johnson, B. D. Rops

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

Field peas are usually grown for human consumption. However, quality problems can make them available at times for feeding to livestock. Field peas contain a moderate amount of protein (20-29%) which is highly rumen degradable. They are high in starch (41- 54%) and low in fiber (<9%) suggesting fairly high energy content. The few cattle feeding studies conducted to date have focused on their use in dairy cows and growing calves. No feeding trials have apparently been conducted with finishing cattle fed high-energy diets. The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate yellow field peas as a replacement for soybean meal and corn grain in a high energy finishing diet and 2) to determine whether or not rolling altered their feeding value.

Effect Of Calving Time And Weaning Time On Cow And Calf Performance - A Preliminary Report, R. J. Pruitt, B. Epperson, B. Johnson, D. Zalesky, R. Haigh, D. Young

South Dakota Beef Report, 2000

Cows grazing native range year round were allotted to 3 management systems: 1.) A calving season starting in mid March with calves weaned in late October; 2) A calving season starting in mid March with calves weaned in mid September; and 3) A calving season starting early May with calves weaned in late October. After 2 years of the study, pregnancy rate and calving interval were not affected by management system. Average weaning weight was the highest for the March calving/October weaned group in both years. In the first year of the study, severe winter weather caused a lower calf …
