Screening Of Chemosterilants Against The Southern House Mosquito Culex Pipiens Quinquefasciatus, M. D. Boston, R. S. Patterson, C. S. Lofgren

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

In view of the current interest in the use of sterile males to control or eradicate some species of mosquitoes, information is needed about chemicals or other methods that induce sterility in these insects. Thus, at the Insects Affecting Man Investigations Laboratory at Gainesville, Fla., we have begun to evaluate the sterilizing effect of chemicals on the southern house mosquito, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say.

Suppression And Elimination Of An Island Population Of Culex Pipiens Quinquefasciatus With Sterile Males, R. S. Patterson, D. E. Weidhaas, H. R. Ford, C. S. Lofgren

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

The release of 8,400 to 18,000 males per day of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say which had been exposed to a sterilizing agent (thiotepa), suppressed and eliminated an indigenous population of this mosquito on an island off the cost of Florida in a 10 week period. Sterile males were effective in seeking out and mating with females on the island.

Ec70-923 Care And Cooking Of Game Meats (Revised), Ethel Diedrichsen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Game meats, like domestic meats, are best when properly dressed and cooked. Good eating depends upon the treatment the animal receives when killed. For high quality meat, the animal should be promptly bled, dressed and cooked under sanitary conditions. Much good game is ruined because this procedure is not followed.

This Extension circular covers the handling of wild game and includes recipes for all wild game.

Diammonium Citrate And Diammonium Phosphate As Sources Of Dietary Nitrogen For Growing-Finishing Swine, G. F. Wehrbein, P. E. Vipperman Jr., E. R. Peo, Jr., P. J. Cunningham

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Many scientists are concerned about the possibility Of a protein shortage in the near future. Since the pig will be placed in direct competition with man for many of the proteins presently used in feeds, it has become increasingly important to determine if other sources of nitrogen can serve as a replacement for some of the non-essential amino acid nitrogen in natural proteins.

Genetic Aspects Of Calving Ease, James S. Brinks

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Several trends in cattle production and marketing are becoming evident. Leaner and perhaps heavier muscled slaughter cattle will be in demand through the chain from consumers back through retailers, packers, feeders and finally the producers. Emphasis on growth in the feedlot will continue. Thus, the feedlot and carcass characteristics desired point towards fairly large, heavier muscled cattle. At the producer level, increased emphasis is being placed on matching cow size, milk level, and overall biological type to available resources. Thus, the trend for maternal herds in the Great Plains point towards an adapted, probably moderate size, and milking cow that …

Effect Of Feeding-Fasting Interval On Finishing Pigs: Blood Urea And Serum Lipid, Cholesterol And Protein Concentrations, T. L. Veum, W. G. Pond, E. F. Walker Jr., L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

A system of restricted feeding in which feed is entirely withheld for intervals of 24, 48 or 72 hr. following a 24-hr. period of ad libitum feeding in continuous sequence throughout the finishing period depresses weight gain and efficiency of feed utilization in direct relation to duration of the fasting period and has marked associated effects on carcass measurements, gland and organ weights and a small effect on fatty acid composition of the back fat (Veum et al., 1970). Cohn (1963) and Leveille and Hanson (1965, 1966) have shown marked changes in metabolism of nutrients and in body composition associated …

Systematic Infections For The Assay Of Plant Viruses, Myron K. Brakke

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

The first infectivity assays of plant viruses relied on the percentage of inoculated plants becoming systemically infected. The use of systemic infections for assays became unfashionable, however, after the discovery of local lesions and the demonstration that their numbers depended on virus concentration. Continued emphasis on local lesions over the years led to the widely held belief that systemic infections could not be used for a reliable and accurate assay of plant viruses. There was never any good statistical evidence for this viewpoint. In fact, no thorough investigation has been published of the accuracy of "systemic assays" of plant viruses, …

Effect Of Temperature On Food And Water Intake And Rumen Fermentation, W. R. Gengler, F. A. Martz, H. D. Johnson, G. F. Krause, Leroy Hahn

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

The purpose was to determine volatile fatty acid concentrations at normal (18 C) and high (35 C) ambient temperature, and to determine the effect of increasing the rumen temperature with an intra-ruminal heating coil in an 18 C ambient temperature.

Property Tax Equalization And Assessment: A Proposal For Reform, Stanley M. Talcott

Nebraska Law Review

In 1967 the State of Nebraska officially withdrew from the property tax field. With the enactment of LB 377, Nebraska changed from a property tax to a combined sales and income tax as a source of revenue. Property taxes are now collected only by local subdivisions. However, the state still performs duties related to the property tax in two important areas: the state must value certain centrally assessed property such as railroads, public utilities, and airlines, and fix a uniform rate of valuation throughout the state. Centrally assessed properties are valued by the Nebraska Board of Equalization. Although this task …

How To Raise Pheasants

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Publications

To raise pheasants, you will need about five square feet per bird in a covered pen. A 25-foot square will handle 125 chicks. However, the bigger the yard, the better, since these are wild birds and nervous. Overcrowding leads to feather-picking and cannibalism. It is important that the ground be clean to cut down disease and that there have been no chickens on it for at least two years.

Pheasant chicks need fresh air, sunshine, and lots of exercise to grow rapidly and develop into strong, vigorous birds that can survive .in the wild. Remember, you will be turning them …

Some Ecological Relations Of Fairy Shrimps In Alkaline Habitats Of Nebraska, D. B. Mccarraher

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

Ecological studies on the distribution of fairy shrimps have been made from 246 sites in the sandhills region of Nebraska. New records for Nebraska have been established for Artemia salina, Branchinecta campestris, B. lindahli, B. mackini and Cyzicus mexicanus. Seasonal populations of shrimp have been located in habitats containing permanent fish populations. Water mineralization was the dominant environmental condition related to the distribution of phyllopods with sodium and potassium compounds predominating in the strongly alkaline lakes. Several of the Artemia lakes were classified as hydroxide sites. Many of the alkaline ponds, where B. lindahli and B. campestris flourish, are …
