Digestion Studies With Sheep And Wild Antelope On A Sagebrush Ration, Paul Harold Kohler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Introduction: Those who are responsible for the management of antelope, range livestock, and the range seek to maintain such a balance that al may thrive and reproduce. This is inevitably a difficult objective since the balance in numbers of antelope and livestock may be changed annually, but range flora changes only in long-time cycles. Therefore, the balance between the wild and domestic species and the range must be adjusted frequently by range and livestock management. The adjustment of the number of domestic animals to fit the carrying capacity of the range may be accomplished by changing management and marketing practices …

The Apparent Digestibility By Sheep Of Prairie Hay Harvested At Three Stages Of Maturity, Robert Manseau Jordan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Grass is the greatest asset of the Northern Great Plains. Grass does and must serve as the basic feed for the flocks and herds of this area. Without grass, much of the Northern Great Plains would be waste land with little or no value. In the states of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, about 67 per cent of the total land is in pasture and hay. Seventy five to 95 per cent of the total feed needed by cattle and sheep in the Northern Plains states is furnished by pasture and roughage. With an ever-increasing demand …

An Improved Method For The Determination Of Crude Fiber And Nitrogen Extract Of Feeds, Robert Alvin Wilcox

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The crude fiber method in use today was originated in Germany by Henneberg and Stohmann (1) about 85 years ago and is known as the Weende method after the name of their experiment station. Their method consists of boiling a dried and ether extracted sample (about 1 gram) for 30 minutes in 200 ml. of a 1.25o/o sodium hydroxide solution. The residue is filtered off and washed free of alkali with hot water in a Gooch crucible prepared with a treated asbestos mat, dried in a 100 degree C oven, weighed, ashed and reweighed. The loss in weight upon ashing …

This study was conducted to ascertain the effect of age of gilt on the size of their first litters.

Nitrogen Distribution In The Corn Plant, Eugene I. Whitehead, Frank G. Viets, Alvin L. Moxon

Agricultural Experiment Station Technical Bulletins (1939-2011)

Inasmuch as oat hay containing potassium nitrate in excess of 1.5 percent is considered unsafe as cattle feed, some of the losses sustained in Sully, Potter, and Walworth counties may have been due to excess nitrates present in the cornstalks. Since nitrates or other nitrogen fractions (e.g. the alkaloids) are frequently associated with forage poisoning, it seemed advisable to further investigate the nitrogenous constituents of the corn plant. It is the purpose of this paper to present data collected at this laboratory relative to the changes in the nitrogenous constituents of field grown corn plants throughout the period from the …

The Apparent Digestibility Of Prairie Hay Harvested At Three Stages Of Maturity, Arnold Bernard Nelson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

More land in the United States is used for grazing and hay production than for all other farm crops grown. Well-managed pastures and rangeland have always been recognized as an economical source of feed and recently have commanded much attention as an effective means of conserving soil resources and preventing erosion. In the states if North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, about 67 per cent of the total land in farms and ranches is in pasture and hay. Over 60 per cent of the entire area of South Dakota and about 83 per cent of the area …

Fertility Maintenance And Management Of South Dakota Soils, L. F. Puhr, W. W. Worzella

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

A successful and profitable agriculture must depend upon a sound and permanent system of soil management. A program of sound soil management is necessary to conserve our soil resources in order to insure present and future stability in agriculture. Changes in the soil which make it less suitable for crop production are gradual processes. Some of these changes are depletion of soil organic matter, appearance of nitrogen and other nutrient deficiencies, deterioration in soil structure, increased susceptibility of the soil to wind and water erosion, failure of crops to grow and mature properly, and lower crop yields. South Dakota soils …

Bake Bread Successfully, Anna M. Wilson

SDSU Extension Circulars

During the latter spring and summer months of 1946 the United States was able to send more wheat abroad to starving people because we use 80 percent extraction flour instead of the customary 72 percent. Using 80 percent extraction flour taught us that degree of refinement does make a difference in the way flour must be handled in making yeast bread. In this circular we shall learn why wheat means so much to a world harassed with famine and how we can make better use of wheat by understanding the principals involved in breadmaking.

Range Shelters, Feeders, Waterers For Poultry, J. Ervin Boyd, Merle Esmay

SDSU Extension Circulars

No Substitute for Sunshine and Plenty of Green Fern There are probably no adequate substitutes for sunshine and succulent green feed for reducing the costs of feeding, keeping poultry in good health, promoting proper growth of bone and feather and developing good pullets for laying. Grasses and legumes in the early stages of growth contain relatively much more protein than in the later stages of growth. They are also rich in vitamins and will tend to balance and correct the deficiencies of proteins in the cereal grains fed to poultry. (See more in text.)

Controlling Internal Parasites Of Sheep, G. S. Harshfield, F. N. Carlson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Parasitism is the worst hazard in the raising of sheep. This is true in South Dakota and is generally true in other sheep-raising areas. No accurate figure of the cost of worm infestations can be given. The cost includes the loss in deaths, the lowered values of the unthrifty, light-weight lambs which survive, the added expense in feed and time in making such lambs salable, the cost of worm treatments and time in administering them. To these costs should be added the weight loss by sheep, resulting from moving them from range for treatments, and the handling of the flock …

A Survey Of Fruit Production And Consumption In South Dakota, 1944, Agricultural Experiment Station, South Dakota State College

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The importance of an adequate supply of fruit in the diet has been stressed in recent years. Nutrition and production specialists have long believed that both the production and consumption of fruit have be too low in South Dakota. Climatic and transportation problem in South Dakota, often make it difficult for some families, particularly in the western part of the state, to grow or purchase adequate supplies of fruit throughout the year. The lack of information on the quantities of fruit produced and consumed in South Dakota prompted the State Nutrition Committee to make a state wide study during 1944. …

Calcium And Phosphorus Content Of Grasses At Different Stages Of Growth, G.F. Gastler, A.L. Moxon

Agricultural Experiment Station Chemistry Pamphlets (1943-1944)

The attached tables and graph show the calcium and phosphorus content of Western Wheat grass {Agropyron smithii) and Blue Grama grass (Bouteloua, gracilis) at different stages of growth. The percentages are calculated on an air dr-/ basis which would be comparable with the moisture content of very dry hay. Tne values, therefore, represent the approximate calcium and phosphorus levels in hay made from these grasses ~f they are cut at the stages indicated in the graph and tables.
