Meal Planning For South Dakota 4-H Girls, Jane Meyer

SDSU Extension Circulars

Cooking's fun, so let's begin! Even if you're a very young 4-H girl, you can cook. But, you must start with simple foods. As you learn more, and practice, cooking will be easier. You can then make more difficult dishes, and even plan and prepare some family meals. Let's start by learning some basic rules. You need to be neat and clean; you should always be safe; you should measure correctly; you must know how to read recipes. A good cook knows and follows these rules. You'll want to know them too!

Feeding Systems For Layers, C. W. Carlson, W. Kohlmeyer, W. C. Morgan

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Numerous reports show there are many feeding systems for layers that the poultryman will find satisfactory. The important factor for good results is proper management of the feeding system. Essentially the most common feeding systems recommended and in use today are ( 1) all-mash, ( 2) 18-20 percent protein mash with limited or free-choice grain, and (3) 25-27 percent protein concentrate with free-choice grain. Some poultrymen have reported successful use of a 32 percent protein concentrate fed free-choice with grains. The laying hen has a remarkable ability to balance her own ration, but it has generally been felt that more …

Parakeratosis: A Nutritional Disease Of Swine, R. C. Wahlstrom

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

A skin disease of swine called parakeratosis has become increasingly prevalent in South Dakota and throughout the United States during the past few years. Minnesota investigators first described parakeratosis in 1953 and suggested that it was of nutritional origin. Recent research at several experiment stations has shown that high levels of calcium and phosphorus in the ration were associated with the disease and that the addition of zinc had a curative effect. Swine affected by parakeratosis have reduced appetite, fail to grow normally, and often exhibit diarrhea during the early stages of the disease. The skin lesions appear almost simultaneously …

Meat : Selection-Care-Cookery, Rena Wills

SDSU Extension Circulars

Meats are excellent protein foods. Meat protein contains generous amounts of the essential amino acids. These are the amino acids which your food must provide to enable your body to build its protein. Protein rich vegetables and cereals may lack one or more of these essential amino acids. Meat enhances their protein value when it is served with them. The B vitamins and the minerals--phosphorus, iron and copper--are found along with protein in the meat. Pork is an exceptionally good source of thiamine and iron. Under ordinary circumstances, if your protein needs are met, your body's need for the B …

Listeria Monocytogenes, Alvin G. Fiscus

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Organisms of the genus Listeria have stimulated a great deal of interest as a result of their pathogenicity and affinity for the central nervous system. The clinical condition produced by this organism is known as listeriosis, or in ruminants as “circling disease”. The organism was described by Murray, Webb and Swann in 1926 as the causative agent of an eqizootic infection in laboratory rabbits and guinea pigs. Their observations showed that the disease produced emaciation, abundant exudate in serous cavities, necrotic foci in and on various organs, and a marked increase in monocytes circulating in the blood stream. The name …

Growth And Physiology Of A Soil Organism Which Is Resistant To The Toxic Effects Of Sodium Selenite, John C. Mickelson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The occurrence of selenium in soils of the United States and its cinnection with a disease of livestock originally called selenium poisoning , is well established. The states of North Dakota and South Dakota have both reported areas of land on which the disease occurs. In 1954, soil samples (from areas in South Dakota in which there is solenium poisoning) we've brought to the South Dakota State College Experiment Stot1on for analysis. From one of those samples, a bacterium was found which was noted as being resistant to the toxicity of selenium and also as being capable of reducing sodium …

A Survey Of The Value Of The Homemaking Curriculum In South Dakota With Implications For Revision, Carol Siemann Wagner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Homemaking education is no longer “cooking sand sewing” but is a program directed toward the goal of helping students to become happy, responsible family members. From this goal stems the family centered approach to teaching. It relates the curriculum to the realities of family living by using family life situations for learning experiences. The teacher is no longer the authority on material to be learned. To develop the family centered program, parents and students are cooperating with teachers in curriculum planning. A Guide for Developing a Homemaking Curriculum in Junior and Senior High Schools of South Dakota, published in …

The Effect Of Vitamin D. Supplementation On The Growth And Development Of Swine, Darwin Eugene Stolte

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Vitamin D, through its specific action in calcium and phosphorus metabolism and bone growth, is necessary for the production of a sound, well-developed skeleton which his essential to profitable pork production. The fact that common feeds used in swine rations, especially grains and plant protein supplements, are lacking in calcium, vitamin D and in some cases phosphorus, accounts in part for the appearance of rickets and kindred deficiency symptoms under many practical conditions. Rickets and related bone diseases are normally abated by sufficient exposure to direct sunlight. However, in instances where swine are confined indoors or do not receive sufficient …
