Full Fat Soybeans For Swine, Cooperative Extension Service

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Soybeans are an important protein source for the swine industry. However, the nutritional and economics values of soybeans as swine feed are dictated by the method used in processing the raw soybeans. Most soybeans produced in the U.S. undergo oil extraction and heat treatment to produce soybean oil and a byproduct soybean meal which is marketed as a protein supplement containing approximately 44 to 48% crude protein and 1.0% residual oil. Other raw soybean processing methods exist. However, nutrients in soybeans processed by different methods are not utilized with equal efficiency by all classes of swine. Raw soybeans contain antinutritional …

Serum D-Β-Hydroxybutyrate And Urea Nitrogen As Indicators Of Beef Cow Nutritional Status, P.A. Momont, R.J. Pruitt, R.H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 1988

Mature Simmental x Angus crossbred cows were fed differing levels of nutrition before and after calving (mid-March to early May) to determine if blood serum levels of d-β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and urea nitrogen (SUN) could be used as indicators of nutritional status. Visual condition scores and condition score change were used as subjective appraisals of cow nutritional status. BHB levels prior to calving were elevated for cows close to calving and those carrying male fetuses. SUN levels prior to calving were higher for thin cows that were losing body condition. If on a low plane of nutrition after calving, BHB values …

Effects Of Body Condition On Reproductive Performance Of Range Beef Cows, R.J. Pruitt, P.A. Momont

South Dakota Beef Report, 1988

Mature Simnnental x Angus crossbred cows were fed differing Levels of nutrition from December to May in each of 3 years to create a wide range in cow body condition or fleshiness at the beginning of the calving season (beginning mid-March) and when turned to summer pasture (early May)1 month prior to the beginning of a 60-day breeding season ( early June). Cows that were fleshier in March, May or June cycled earlier and conceived earlier. Being thin in May or June had a more detrimental effect on pregnancy rate for cows that calved late in the calving season. A …

Electrophoretic, Morphometric, And Meristic Comparisons Of Walleye Broodstock In South Dakota, Chantel M. Waltner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Electrophoretic and morphological variability among walleyes collected from three upper Missouri River tributaries and a glacial lake in South Dakota was investigated, and an upper Mississippi River stock was electrophoretically compared to the South Dakota stocks. Allele frequencies of two (MDH-3, GMP-3) of the twenty-one loci examined differed significantly (P<0. 05) between South Dakota and Mississippi River walleyes. Contingency chi-square tests of allele frequencies showed homogeneity among walleyes from the Missouri River tributaries, and significant (P<0.001) heterogeneity (P<0.001) at the GMP-3 locus between Missouri River and glacial lake stocks. A dendogram derived from Nei unbiased genetic identity values produced separate branchings for the South Dakota and Mississippi River walleyes. All four walleye stocks in South Dakota were morphologically variable, although no one character could be used as a diagnostic tool to separate the stocks visually. Discriminant function analysis of eight of the most powerful discriminatory characters was successful in correctly classifying walleyes by origin with 83-97% accuracy.

Forage Potential Of Seasonal Wetlands, Daniel Edward Hubbard

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Investigations on aspects of seasonal wetland forage potential were conducted in eastern South Dakota. The quantity and quality of the standing crop of vegetation in 6 seasonal wetland communities were assessed at the end of the growing season in 1983 and in 2 seasonal-wetland-dominated basins and their associated uplands (native mixed-grass prairie) over the growing season in 1985.

Expression Of Leptospira Biflexa Serovar Patoc Antigens In Escherichia Coli Ja221, Joann Willgohs Mogard

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The genus Leptospira belongs to the order Spirochaetales and the family Leptospiraceae. Currently, there are two Leptospira species: L. interrogans, which includes the pathogenic or parasitic organisms; and L. biflexa, all of which are saphrophytic, free-living leptospires. Approximately 240 different serovars, the final taxonomic subdivision of these organisms, have been reported based on antigenic analysis via microscopic agglutination and cross-agglutination absorption tests. These serovars are categorized into serogroups (approximately 60) due to antigenic cross-reactivity. In addition to antigenic analysis, a number of biological and biochemical tests are used to distinguish the two species including: growth at low temperatures, sensitivity to …

Availability Of Elemental Selenium To Plants, Shu-Chen Tseng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Selenium has been found to be both essential for and toxic to animals and humans. Plants make up the main source of selenium for animals which are the food source for humans. Therefore, the selenium content in soils and plants is of interest. The uptake and accumulation of selenium by plants is governed by many environmental factors such as plant species, soil pH, soil type, the chemical form of the selenium and the presence of other ions. The most important factors regulating selenium uptake by plants are the concentration and the form of selenium present in the soil. Many authors …

In Vitro Rescue Of Helianthus Annuus Embryos By Ovule Culture, John C. Volin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Interspecific hybridization between the cultivated sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., and other Helianthus species is an important aspect of sunflower improvement, because it extends the array of genes available for use in breeding programs. Sunflower species have demonstrated resistance to many pests that affect the cultivated sunflower. Oil content and quality may also be improved through interspecific hybridization, as Helianthus species are sources of genetic variation for these traits. Attempts to cross H. annuus with sixteen other Helianthus species were only 40 % successful. It is generally assumed that failure of interspecific hybridization in sunflowers is due to abortion of the …
