The Effects Of Varying Levels Of Alfalfa Hay In A Growing Fattening Ration For Pigs, Laverne J. Kortan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota farmers each year produce approximately 2 million bead of hogs which are valued at 75 to 100 million dollars. The income derived from the sale of hogs makes up approximately 20 percent of their cash fars income. The financial return received by the swine producer is an indication of his success. This success will depend in part upon the kind and cost of ration and the gaining ability of the pigs receiving this ration. The most important factor affecting profits in pork production is the cost of production. Recent studies indicate that approximately 80 percent of the total …

A Study Of The Relationship Of Antibiotics On Fecal Microflora Of Chicks, Robert C. Halseth

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The advent of antibiotics in animal nutrition placed new emphasis on the intestinal microflors. E.L.R. Stokstad (38) presented the following observations as indicating that the growth promoting effect of antibiotics was due to the action on the bacteria of the intestinal trace. “(1) Antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents of widely varying chemical structure are effective. This precludes the possibility of their being incorporated into any growth essential for the animal. (2) The ineffectiveness of antibiotics in increasing growth in the germ free animal. (3) The ineffectiveness of aureomycin in increasing growth of the developing chick embryo. (4) The effect of sanitation …

A Survey Of The Occupational Status Of Post World War Ii Agriculture Education Graduates Of South Dakota State College, Harry Franz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today facts are demanded by everyone and for every purpose. To some extent, every activity of our life is governed by the results of a study of books and periodicals. This is true of a farmer cultivating his land, feeding his livestock, or purchasing his machinery. It is also true of persons in other vocations; the minister, the banker, the public official, the educator, the business man, and many others. When the vocational agriculture teacher has a problem he consults a “Handbook on Teaching Vocational Agriculture” which is a collection of organized facts based on experience. The efficiency in teaching …

Chemical Problems Of Farm Water Supplies, G. F. Gastler, O. E. Olson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

The water supply on South Dakota farms is a source of many problems. In most cases, it is a difficult and expensive operation to obtain an adequate supply at a desirable location. Once obtained, many problems of plumbing and maintenance are left to be solved. Although the installation and maintenance may be expensive and difficult, the question of water quality may be even more important. The chemical quality of the ground waters (wells and springs) of the state in variable. In a few instances, well waters containing very low concentrations of dissolved materials have been found, but most have fairly …

Feeding Poultry For Profit, Glen Hart, C. W. Carlson

SDSU Extension Circulars

Feeding poultry for profit involves essentially the use of top quality stock, proper management and care, proper facilities, and last, but certainly not least important, a good feed. The feed accounts for well over 50 per cent of the cost of poultry, meat and egg production, hence its importance cannot be considered lightly. A good feed supplies all of the essential nutrients in the required amounts for each type of production.

Economic Use Of Grain And Forage In Livestock Production, C. M. Johnson, S. R. Stangeland

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Every farmer must make production decisions. He must decide which crop and livestock enterprises and what production practices can be profitably employed on his farm. He can make these decisions-hit or miss fashion-with little or no factual information and without the benefit of a plan or production program. In contrast, he can base his decisions upon a carefully planned production program which uses a wealth of information on physical inputs and outputs, costs of production, and prices received for the items produced. The most effective farm planning is done by means of budgets. Usually several different production plans must be …

Farrowing Systems Their Effects On Returns In Hog Production, R. C. Wahlstrom, R. F. Wilson, T. Wright

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

A thorough investigation of the efficiency of producing pigs at different seasons of the year is reported in this bulletin which summarizes the results of an experiment designed to (1) compare the efficiency of early and late spring-farrowed pigs, summer-farrowed pigs, (2) compare the efficiency of gilts and second-litter sows and (3) compare the efficiency of the one-litter farrowing system with the two-litter farrowing system.

A Microchemical Modification Of The Mccarthy And Sullivan Method For The Determination Of Methionine, Emilia Rodelas Joson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Methionine was discovered in 1922 by Mueller (33) and was first known as Mueller’s acid. In 1928 Barger and Coyne (6) found that it was a methylated sulfur compound known as alpha-amino-gamma-methyl thio-butryic acid and later gave it the present shorter name of methionine. Rose and his associates (34) have shown that it is the essential sulfur amino acid and not cysteine as was formerly thought. Methionine plays an important role in the growth of plants and animals: first, as a methylating agent; second, as an amino acid essential for the building of tissue proteins; third, as a source of …

Effects Of Antibiotics Fed To Pigs During The Growing-Fattening Period, Harold John Kurtz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many South Dakota farmers depend upon the pig enterprise for a portion of their yearly income. According to the South Dakota Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, approximately 19 per cent of the cash farm income of South Dakota is obtained from the marketing of hogs. The successful swine producer’s primary objective is to receive the greatest possible financial return for his investment and labor. In order to accomplish this aim, it is often desirable to feed a ration which produces as fast a rate of gain as possible without sacrificing feed efficiency or carcass quality. The growth response obtained by …

A Study Of The Effects Of Aureomycin Upon The Microflora Of The Ovine Rumen, Milton Allison

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Growth stimulation in domestic animals due to dietary supplementations of antibiotics has received a great deal of attention in the last few years. Moore and co-workers in 1946 (35) observed that the addition of streptomycin to the diet of chicks led to increased growth responses and in 1948 Harned et al. (17) administered aureomycin to chicks and he also noted an increased growth rate. Little significance was attached to these discoveries and the present interest in antibiotics as feed supplements is the result of investigations by Stokstad and co-workers in 1949 (40) with cultures of Streptomyces griseus and Streptomyces aureofaciens …
