Effects Of Aldrin On Young Pheasants Under Semi-Natural Conditions, Ronald Eugene Thill Jan 1969

Effects Of Aldrin On Young Pheasants Under Semi-Natural Conditions, Ronald Eugene Thill

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Effects of aldrin on young pheasants were studied under semi-natural conditions in four one-acre enclosures during the summer of 1968. The center two-thirds of each plot was planted in corn; remaining peripheral cover was maintained in smooth brome and alfalfa. Prior to planting, center portions of two plots were sprayed with 2 pounds of aldrin per acre on Hay 20, while remaining plots served as controls. On June 12, four family units consisting of two broody pheasant hens and two bantam hens with 15 three-day-old chicks each were confined in plots. Hens and broods were given free run 10 days …

Vitamin A In Beef Cattle Feeding, L.B. Embry, L.J. Kortan Jan 1969

Vitamin A In Beef Cattle Feeding, L.B. Embry, L.J. Kortan

Agricultural Experiment Station Animal Husbandry Pamphlets

Vitamin A is essential for all cattle. The vitamin does not occur naturally in feeds of plant origin. Many cattle are never fed vitamin A as such but do not develop a deficiency of the vitamin. The reason for this is that many feeds (pasture, good quality hay, silage, and yellow com) furnish carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the animal body.

Rations For Early Weaned Pigs, Richard C. Wahlstrom, Donald Mordhorst Nov 1968

Rations For Early Weaned Pigs, Richard C. Wahlstrom, Donald Mordhorst

South Dakota Swine Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1968

One of the most critical times in the nutrition of the pig is during the first few weeks after weaning. This is particularly true if the pigs are weaned at an age of 3 to 4 weeks or younger. During the past two years an experiment has been in progress at this station to study different ration ingredients in rations for pigs weaned at about 3 weeks of age in order to determine if more economical rations can be developed that will be highly palatable and support rate and efficiency of gains comparable or superior to more complex rations. The …

Forage Nitrate Poisoning (A Summary), Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Nov 1968

Forage Nitrate Poisoning (A Summary), Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Occasionally forages accumulate nitrates in quantities that are toxic to some farm animals. As long ago as 1895, the literature reported cases of this. In the 1930's heavy cattle losses from what was then termed "oat hay poisoning" were reported in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain areas. These losses were found to result from the high nitrate content of the hay. It has now been well established that several forage plants and weeds accumulate nitrates in toxic amounts under certain soil and environmental conditions.

Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal In Rations For Pigs And Brood Sows In Confinement, R.W. Seerley, R.C. Wahlstrom Jun 1968

Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal In Rations For Pigs And Brood Sows In Confinement, R.W. Seerley, R.C. Wahlstrom

Agricultural Experiment Station Technical Bulletins (1939-2011)

Alfalfa in the form of ground hay or alfalfa meal has been widely used in swine rations to improve litter size and survival of baby pigs. Some nutritionists suggest the possibility of valuable unidentified factors in alfalfa meal; however, the role of alfalfa meal in modern swine rations needs to be clarified to evaluate dehydrated alfalfa meal in rations for swine continually confined in pens with concrete floors, two experiments were started in 1958. Experiment 1 included four trials with growing pigs and Experiment 2 included four trials with breeding gilts.

Urea For Dairy Cattle, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University Apr 1968

Urea For Dairy Cattle, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Urea has been used successfully for several years as a nitrogen supplement in rations for mature ruminants. It is the non-protein nitrogen source most commonly used to add nitrogen to rations economically. Research has established guidelines for urea-feeding programs when coupled with good management and proper sanitation. To date no research has indicated that rations containing urea have any effect on reproduction or sterility or on vitamin A nutrition of ruminants. Balancing the ration for all nutrients will assure maximum production of milk and meat.

The Supplementation Of Lysine To Growing And Finishing Swine, Roger D. Magstadt Feb 1968

The Supplementation Of Lysine To Growing And Finishing Swine, Roger D. Magstadt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the United States the swine industry contributes a great deal to the economy of the corn-belt farmer. On June 1, 1967, the U.S.D.A. Statistical Reporting Service reported 43,642,000 swine in the ten Corn Belt States, which produce three-fourths of the United States pig crop. South Dakota produced approximately 2,700,000 hogs in 1966 with a value of 137.5 million dollars, which is approximately 18.1% of the total farm income. In recent years the trend toward producing a fast-growing, efficient and meaty hog has necessitated that the nutritional regimen be changed to help express the hereditary potential of the modern meat …

Effects Of Supplemental Lysine In The Drinking Water Of Growing And Finishing Swine, Aaron R. Taylor Jan 1968

Effects Of Supplemental Lysine In The Drinking Water Of Growing And Finishing Swine, Aaron R. Taylor

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Proteins are defined as organic compounds formed as polymers of amino acids. The structural characteristics of the individual proteins enable them to act as catalysts (enzymes) and thus control the rate of all biological reactions, to serve as carriers for biologically important substances in the organism, to regulate physiological relationships as hormones, and to serve as structural components for subcellular, cellular and other organic substances. Previous research has indicated that for optimum utilization of amino acids to occur the required amino acids must be present at the site where synthesis of the organic substances takes place. These required amino acids …

Variation Between Boars In Semen Characteristics And Fertility, Wayne L. Singleton Jan 1968

Variation Between Boars In Semen Characteristics And Fertility, Wayne L. Singleton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The most important factor influencing the income from a livestock breeding herd is the number of offspring produced per female per year. This number varies between herds and species and is influenced by such factors as disease, nutrition, genetics, management, climate, and endocrine balance. It has been estimated that over 30% of the potential offspring from the sow are lost between ovulation and the thirtieth day of pregnancy. It would be of great economic value to reduce this loss both in terms of increased number of offspring per pregnancy and increased number of offspring per year. The sow has long …

Relationships Between Beef Palatability And Bone Density, Bone Hardness And Other Maturity Indicators, David E. Schafer Jan 1968

Relationships Between Beef Palatability And Bone Density, Bone Hardness And Other Maturity Indicators, David E. Schafer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A trend in recent years has been for meat scientists to concentrate much of their effort on obtaining a more complete understanding of those factors which affect or contribute to meat quality or palatability. Some of these topics have ranged from the effect of nutritional regime on palatability to the effects of hormone treatments, antemortem stress conditions, breeds or types, sex, marbling levels, maturity or age, cooking techniques, chemistry of muscle and fat, measurement of muscle fiber diameter and extensibility, connective tissues and, finally, color of muscle and fat. This emphasis on factors relating to beef palatability has also caused …
