The Relationship Between Rural Low-Income Women's Knowledge And Short-Term Duration Of Breastfeeding, Jefferey J.A. Enstad Jan 1998

The Relationship Between Rural Low-Income Women's Knowledge And Short-Term Duration Of Breastfeeding, Jefferey J.A. Enstad

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although patterns of breastfeeding initiation and duration among American women have made dramatic changes over the past 100 years, these patterns have not been studied in rural, low-income women. Furthermore, even less is known about the characteristics of rural low-income women who practice short-term breastfeeding. Therefore, the problem under investigation was to explore the relationship between rural low-income women's knowledge and short-term duration of breastfeeding. The objectives of the study were to: 1) describe what are the characteristics of rural low-income women who breastfeed for four or more weeks postpartum, 2) describe what sources did they receive breastfeeding instruction and …

Swine Nutrition And Odor Management, Bob Thaler Aug 1997

Swine Nutrition And Odor Management, Bob Thaler

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

There is a great deal of concern regarding swine manure in terms of odor and nutrient management. However, by controlling what goes in a pig, great strides can be made in reducing odor and decreasing the nitrogen and phosphorus content of the manure. Currently, there are several management and nutritional programs we can use to negate some of the concerns.

Value Based Marketing For Fed Cattle: A Discussion Of The Issues, Scott Fausti, Steve Schamber, Dwight Adamson Apr 1997

Value Based Marketing For Fed Cattle: A Discussion Of The Issues, Scott Fausti, Steve Schamber, Dwight Adamson

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

Beef demand in the United States began to weaken relative to the demand for pork and poultry in the 1970s. The literature offers two possible explanations: 1) the lifestyles explanation; and 2) the relative-price explanation. Barkema and Drabenstott (1990) review the literature concerning the market share issue and concisely outline the two possible explanations: "The lifestyle argument suggests that consumers chose to eat less beef due to health concerns and changes in lifestyles. The relative-prices explanation suggests consumers switched from beef to poultry because beef became relatively more expensive than poultry." The issue of improving beefs competitiveness against other domestic …

Utilizing Soyhulls In Livestock And Dairy Rations, Don Boggs, Kim Cassel, Jeff Held, Bob Thaler Apr 1997

Utilizing Soyhulls In Livestock And Dairy Rations, Don Boggs, Kim Cassel, Jeff Held, Bob Thaler

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Soyhulls are a co-product of soybean processing. The soyhull is the seedcoat of the soybean (not the pod) and makes up approximately 8% of the soybean. When the soybeans are rolled or flaked, the soyhull pops loose from the meat of the seed. The soyhulls are very lightweight and once loose can easily be removed from the seed by air. The soyhulls are ground and blended back with the soybean meal to produce 44% meal, or they can be used as a feedstuff in various types of livestock and dry rations.

Weak Calf Syndrome An Indirect Result Of Cold-Weather Stress, Bill Epperson Apr 1997

Weak Calf Syndrome An Indirect Result Of Cold-Weather Stress, Bill Epperson

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Severe winter conditions are commonplace in many geographical areas where beef is produced. However, cold temperatures, wind, and abnormally high snowfall can combine to produce environmental conditions that make adequate care of the beef herd impossible. In such conditions and despite the best effort, producers will often have difficulty carrying out typical management practices and providing adequate nutrition to cows. The end result is that nutrition during gestation may not have been optimal, environmental conditions at calving may be poor, and cows are very stressed. These conditions can lead to several health problems not normally encountered by the beef producer. …

Using Alternative Feeding Management To Reduce Winter Feed Costs For Sheep, Jeff Held Feb 1997

Using Alternative Feeding Management To Reduce Winter Feed Costs For Sheep, Jeff Held

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

A short supply of traditional forage sources and much higher prices means that sheep producers should consider alternative feedings management strategies to lower their production costs. For large-flock owners, substituting feeds could prove to be a wise choice. For many small-flock owners, simple physical adjustments in feeding management could move feed costs inline with previous production cycles. Annual flock feed costs usually account for 50 to 70% of total expenses. However, very little time is actually spent determining the absolute dollar figure on a per ewe basis. For producers to lower feed costs in the current production cycle, it’s logical …

Leafy Spurge - A Review, Sharon A. Clay, Chad M. Scholes Jan 1997

Leafy Spurge - A Review, Sharon A. Clay, Chad M. Scholes

Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science Faculty Publications

Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) is a perennial herbaceous weed that infests millions of acres of range and pasture in the northern Great Plains. It outcompetes grasses and lowers land productivity because cattle will not graze infested areas even if spurge makes up only 10% of the vegetative biomass. This presentation will cover the history, taxonomy, and phenology of leafy spurge. A discussion of chemical, mechanical, and biocontrol techniques that aid in leafy spurge management will also be included.

Utilizing Leafy Spurge As Haylage For Sheep, Scott Kronberg, Lowell Slyter Jan 1997

Utilizing Leafy Spurge As Haylage For Sheep, Scott Kronberg, Lowell Slyter

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1997

It is well recognized that sheep will graze the noxious weed leafy spurge and at least one sheep producer (Don Genre near Towner, ND) feeds large quantities of leafy spurge hay to sheep. We conducted a small trial to determine how well sheep would consume leafy spurge haylage, and how productive they were while consuming it.

Use Of The Relative Dose Response Assay To Determine The Vitamin A Status Of Neonatal Calves: Effects Of Season On Colostrum Quality And Immunological Parameters, Mary Jo Boner Jan 1997

Use Of The Relative Dose Response Assay To Determine The Vitamin A Status Of Neonatal Calves: Effects Of Season On Colostrum Quality And Immunological Parameters, Mary Jo Boner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Plasma vitamin A is not a reliable indicator of vitamin A status. Therefore, the feasibility of using the relative dose response (RDR) assay as a method for determining vitamin A status of calves was examined. In addition, effects of colostrum quality and season on vitamin A status and health of calves were determined. Blood was sampled from the jugular vein of 16 newborn calves to establish values over a 24 h period for immunoglobulin M (IgM) concentration, hematocrit, serum protein concentration, and leukocyte differentials. Liver biopsies were performed at birth, and successfully completed for 11 calves. Blood samples were obtained …
