Relationship Of Maintenance Energy Requirements To Beef Female Production Efficiency, S. A. Shuey, C. P. Birkelo, D. M. Marshall

South Dakota Beef Report, 1991

Thirty-three Hereford x Angus first-calf females were used to determine the relationship between production efficiency (PE = calf weaning weight/l2month dam + calf ME intake) and nonlactating dam maintenance ME requirements (MEm) and its components k, and FHP. Substantial variation existed in PE and energy parameters among individuals. However, maintenance metabolism of the dam contributed little to explaining PE variation (Fs.04). This may have been due to the high plane of nutrition provided. Additionally, FHP was closely related to MEm (r2 = .69), suggesting it could be used as an indicator of fed maintenance requirements.

In Vitro Digestibility Of Untreated And Ammonia Treated Oat Mill By-Product, C. P. Birkelo, B. Borkowski, S. Shuey

South Dakota Beef Report, 1991

Oat mill by-product (OMB, approximately 80% oat hulls) was treated with 0, 1%, 3%, or 5% NH3 and 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50% H2O (4 x 5 factorial design) and allowed to react for 28 days. Samples were analyzed for in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), crude protein (CP) and fiber content (NDF, ADF, ADL). Treatment with 3% NH3 and 20% H20 resulted in maximum improvement of IVDMD. CP was increased and NDF decreased due to treatment. Nutritional value of OMB can be improved by NH3 treatment.

Profitable Triplet Lamb Production, R. M. Jordan

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1991

Attitudes change with time, and so it is with attempting to have ewes raise triplet lambs. I well remember seeing western sheep producers reduce sets of twins to a big single lamb. Finally, in the late 1940's, they started to run separate twin bands. If the truth were known, many would now wish that all their ewes dropped twins. The farmer in the East River Country, as distinguished from the West River Rancher, usually prefers twin births. Then the Finn, a much maligned breed of sheep that produced more triplets than singles, came on the scene. While milk replacer has …

Performance Response To Implants In Finishing Lambs, R. H. Pritchard

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1991

Anabolic implants that promote growth are widely used in cattle feeding. The implant Ralgro® is available to use in sheep at the 12-mg dose rate, but producer acceptance is limited. Questions about the efficacy of the implants and possible detrimental side effects may limit implant use. This experiment was conducted to evaluate production responses to Ralgro® implants in weaned feeder lambs.

Effects Of Limit Feeding A High Concentrate Diet On Feedlot Performance And Carcass Composition Of Lambs, W. W. Poland Jr., R. H. Pritchard, J. R. Males

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1991

Limit feeding high concentrate diets offers several potential benefits to lamb feeders. Limit feeding is one alternative to ad libitum feeding where intake is restricted to an amount which will permit animals to attain some predetermined daily weight gain. This type of feeding system provides a means to reduce day-to-day variations in feed intake, simplifies bunk management, and allows for greater control over feed inventories (Zinn, 1 986) . Using limit feeding to program a particular rate of gain also allows greater marketing flexibility. Restricting intake has been shown to improve the efficiency at which feed is converted into live …

Summaries Of Forage Research, K. D. Kephart

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Identification of alternative crops capable of producing high quality forage in conditions not conducive for alfalfa or perennial grass production would be desirable. The production of high quality forages in large quantities is the basis of any successful dairy enterprise. This will reduce the necessity of purchasing expensive supplemental grain and protein sources. Certain warm-season annual grasses and legumes, when harvested at the proper stage of maturity, are capable of producing high quality forage in large quantities where conditions are not suitable for alfalfa production. The objects was to evaluate the forage production and chemical composition at two cutting dates …

Preweaning Processing Anthelmintic Treatment And Post Weaning Effects Of Sulfamethazine Based Medications On Performance Traits And Oocyst Shedding In Weaned Calves, R.H. Pritchard, J.U. Thomson, M.A. Robbins

South Dakota Beef Report, 1990

Two trials were conducted to evaluate antibiotic therapies for feeder calves originating in western South Dakota. In Trial 1, processing-anthelmintic treatment 28 days before weaning reduced ranch gains and provided no advantage in feedlot gains when calves were reprocessed. Processing included deworming, grubicide treatment, implanting and vaccination. Sulfamethazine medication caused transient improvements in feedlot performance during the feedlot receiving period in both trials. Supertherapeutic treatment with AS 700 offered no advantage in feedlot performance over therapeutic feeding in these calves. Sulfamethazine exposure suppressed coccidia oocyst shedding and appears to be an effective means of controlling coccidiosis and shipping fever complex …

Effects Of Estradiol-Trenbalone Acetate Implant Combinations On Feedlot Performance And Carcass Traits Of Two Steer Types, R.H. Pritchard, D.H. Gee, M.A. Robbins

South Dakota Beef Report, 1990

Hereford x Angus (HA) and predominantly Gelbvieh cross (Gx) steer calves either received no implant (control) or were implanted initially and again at 77 days on feed with a combination of estradiol and trenbalone acetate based implants. Calves were started on feed in December weighing 677 Ib and fed for 146 to 167 days. Fed for a common period of time, implanting steers increased (Pc.05) ADG, dry matter intake, final weight, carcass weight, rib fat thickness and yield grade. Implanting reduced (Pc.01) marbling scores. Gx steers were heavier and grew more rapidly than HA steers. There were no interactions between …

Whole Plant Faba Bean Siage As A Component Of Growing Steer Diets, J.J. Wagner, H. Nantoume, R. Hanson, D.R. Sorenson

South Dakota Beef Report, 1990

Whole plant faba bean silage was compared to corn-alfalfa silage as a roughage source in 30% roughage growing steer diets. When the proportion of faba bean silage was increased from 0 to 10, 20 and 30%, respectively, daily feed intake, average daily gain and feed conversion of the steers were 18.32, 18.38, 18.23, 19.13 Ib per head; 3.66, 3.42, 3.39, 3.57 Ib per head; and 5.01, 5.38, 5.37 and 5.36, respectively. Substitution of faba bean silage for corn-alfalfa silage in a 30% forage diet had no significant (Pc.05) effect on feed intake, weight gain and feed efficiency for growing steers.

Use Of Sunflower Hulls As The Roughage Component Of Finishing Diets For Yearling Steers, R.H. Pritchard, M.A. Robbins

South Dakota Beef Report, 1990

Sunflower hulls were substituted for grass-alfalfa hay as the roughage component of finishing diets for yearling steers. Feed intake was lower when sunflower hulls were fed, resulting in reduced rate of gain and increased feed conversion. When diets were formulated to contain 12% NDF rather than 10% roughage, performance of steers fed either roughage source was similar. Sunflower hulls because of low cost can be used in finishing diets at 5% of dry matter intake without affecting production costs. Feeding higher levels of unprocessed sunflower hulls is discouraged.

Agricultural And Food Policy Decisions: A 1989 Perspective From South Dakota's Agricultural Producers, Larry Janssen

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

Federal government policies greatly affect farmers and ranchers. Most South Dakota farmers and ranchers favor proposals to retain present commodity programs or to gradually eliminate commodity programs. Most producers favor a variety of proposals to reduce trade barriers and liberalize world trade, but are reluctant to give up existing trade barriers. Most producers favor an increased Federal role in environmental programs related to soil conservation and water quality. These are key findings from a 1989 statewide survey of South Dakota farmers and ranchers opinions on agricultural policy issues.

Management Practices Of Successful Family Farms, Burton Pflueger, Rebecca Lafferty

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

"Success" has constantly been a difficult word to define both for family-farm managers as well for those individuals who work closely with them . Past research in successful farm management have tried to measure success through a wide variety of factors: profitability, achieving personal goals, farm survival, farm growth, and financial measures of success such as accumulated wealth or annual profitability. More recently, a successful farm operator could also be classified as successful if he was able to achieve the objectives or goals set forth for his operation. Therein lies the conflict. If a farm operators goals for successful management …
