Treatment With Sulfabromomethazine Of Coccidiosis Caused By Eimeria Bovis In Calves, William Arlo Trost

Biology

Coccidiosis has proven to be one of the more important parasitic infections found in cattle. This disease is caused by members of the genus Eimeria, of which there are ten or more species in cattle. Experimental work has shown that two of these, E. bovis and E. zurnii are the principle pathogens (20). Coccidiosis causes such an economic loss (estimated at $10,000,000 annually) to the cattle industry (13) that numerous investigators have studied the disease. The disease is more common in younger than older bovines.

Thermodynamics Of Phosphate Absorption On Several Charcoals, James Duncan Beaton

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Phosphorus has long been recognized by agriculturists as being one of the elements essential for plant growth. Although the total phosphorus content of a soil may be high, the amount of phosphate actually available for plant growth is often low. Many agencies such as inherent low solubilities of phosphate compounds, adsorption on Ca C03, adsorption in the diffuse double layer of clay micelles, and chemical precipitation of phosphate which refers to the removal of phosphate ions from solution and their chemical bonding to the solid phase have been studied to explain the lack of phosphate availability.

Breakfast Habits Of Some Utah School Children, Marlene M. Stegelmeier

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the last 10 years, much emphasis has been placed on the importance of breakfast for people of all ages. Nutritionists have pointed out that persons who eat a hearty breakfast show fewer signs of mid-morning fatigue, have or develop better work habits, and do not get as hungry as those who eat little or no breakfast.

Many people do not realize the importance of starting the day with a good breakfast. The 12 to 13 hour fast which the body undergoes from the evening meal until breakfast time requires the consumption of an adequate breakfast. Many poor breakfasts may …

Comparative Study Of The Composition And Quality Of Bulk Tank Milk, Kay M. Nilson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the past decade, many changes have taken place in the dairy industry. At the present time, the industry is endeavoring to improve the quality and handling of milk. This is being accomplished by new equipment and improved methods.

In recent years the handling and transporting of milk by means of the ten gallon can is being replaced by the bulk tank system. With improved farm and truck tanks, milk can be cooled rapidly and stored at a lower temperature.

There are a few problems pertaining to quality, fat tests and weights in handling milk in bulk tanks. Among the …

The Relative Saponin Content Of Alfalfa Varieties In Utah As Measured By Chick Growth Depression, Morris Dean Wilding

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Bloat among ruminants is not new to farmers or scientists. One learns from a Roman author's description of this ailment written in 60 A. D. that the symptoms have changed little since that time. Literature also records that the treatments used today for the prevention and relief of bloat are similar to those prescribed by the early Romans (Anonymous 1954).

A Comparative Study Of Milk Solids And Corn Syrup Solids In The Manufacture Of Sherbets, George C. Walker

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Burke says, "Product inferiority constitutes the greatest menace to the success and progress of any industry." The ice cream industry is no exception. Improvement in the quality of dairy products is a challenge that always faces the industry. Today's products are good, but they can be improved, Sherbet is one product that should be improved most. Many ice cream manufacturers are losing a great potential market because sherbets generally are of poor quality.

The Use Of Branchiostegal Rays To Determine Age Of Lake Trout Salvelinus Namaycush Walbaum, Ross Vivian Bulkley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Any method used in aging fish must fulfill certain requirements to be satisfactory. If the method is inaccurate, naturally little reliance can be placed upon its use. If considerable study of the method and much practice are required before accurate readings can be obtained, the method will not come into widespread use. The requirements of an aging method, then are that it must be accurate and comparatively easy. The scale method for aging lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush Walbaum) unfortunately does not fulfill these requirements. It has always been difficult to tell the age of lake trout by the examination …

Temperature Forecasting At Logan, Utah, For The Snowmelt-Runoff Season, Clifton Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the practicability of forecasting temperatures for the spring and summer snowmelt-runoff season. A successful temperature forecast for Logan, Utah, would be useful in studies of Logan River streamflow, as well as other related applications.

Logan, Utah, is situated in a region where the snow accumulates during the winter and early spring at high altitudes and remains until the proper sequence of meteorological events provides the thermodynamic conditions essential for melting. Snow surveys provide an index to the water available on a watershed. Temperature conditions during the melt period largely determine the available …

Effect Of Hay Or Rate Of Grain Supplementation On Performance Of Lactating Dairy Cows Fed Clipped Pasture Forage, Clive Wendell Arave

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Pasture is considered one of our most important agricultural crops, contributing more than one third of all feed consumed by livestock in the United States. High quality pasture has been recognized to be highly important in efficient milk production. It has been shown, however, that good pasture must be supplemented by concentrates if milk production is to be maintained at a high level.

A pasture mixture developed at the Utah Agriculture Experiment Station has yielded considerably more total digestible nutrients per acre than other roughages or farm grains commonly grown in Utah. Concentrates tend to be relatively more expensive than …

A Survey To Determine The Incidence Of Antibodies Against Q Fever In Persons In Utah, Carl H. Blank

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Q fever, as a recognized clinical entity, is often referred to as a new disease of man. Pneumonic in character but lacking clean-cut pathognomic characteristics, in all probability Q fever has been confused in the past with influenza, primary atypical pneumonia (1), or included as an undifferentiated disease under "virus pneumonia." Geddis Smith (2), writing in 1941, stated:

...influenza, pneumonia, "pleurisy", or bronchitis ... form a nosological jungle in which bacteria and viruses roam at will, despoiling the human race and defying both classification and control. Symptoms overlap and no one knows how many different diseases lurk behind them.

The Effects Of Hunting Season Length On Comparable Pheasant Populations, Temple A. Reynolds

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For many years sportsmen have speculated that hunting limits pheasant populations. With the abolition of the Pheasant Game Farm program in Utah in 1953, this popular concept gained much impetus with the result that, because of public disfavor to a longer season, a 3 to 5 day season on pheasants is the maximum that has been called in northern Utah and this only in areas classed as "better" pheasant habitat.

In contrast to the short seasons in Utah, pheasant seasons in southern Idaho have been from 8½ to 15½ days long for the past 10 years, and will be even …

Evidence Against The Transmission Of Staphylococci By The Mosquito Culex Tarsalis, John R. Molenda

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Staphylococcal synovitis is a pathological condition of birds involving primarily the wing and leg joints. It is frequently referred to as arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, hock disease, staphylococcosis, and weak leg.

The disease has been reported throughout various parts of the world as having been found in a great variety of avian hosts including pheasants, chickens, pigeons, canaries, geese, ducks, grouse, and turkeys.

Miner (1945) presented results of a survey made on turkey diseases in Sanpete County, Utah, which indicated staphylococcal synovitis to be responsible for the greatest numbers of deaths. His report cites this infection as having been found in …

Some Economic Fallacies And The Citizen, Evan B. Murray

Faculty Honor Lectures

To raise the question of economics under any title is at best to be accused of preaching to the converted, and at worst accused of preaching what every member of the congregation understands much better than the preacher. Since economics is a discussion of what people do day after day as they go about making a living, who doesn't understand all about it? Practically all adults do some kind of work, they get money, they spend money, they save, they borrow, they produce things, they sell things, they put money in the bank and draw money from the bank. They …

Range Liverstock Nutrition And Its Importance In The Intermountain Region, C. Wayne Cook

Faculty Honor Lectures

It has been estimated that about 728 million acres or about 76 percent of the entire land area in the West is used for grazing (Stoddard and Smith 1956). In Utah about 93 percent of the land area or 48,900,000 acres is considered range land (Reuss and Blanch 1951). Although some of this range land is forested, a large area of it can be used only for grazing. Therefore, range livestock production is an important segment of western agriculture.

Before 19'00 most of the animals in the West grazed on the range all year. However, irrigation crop production has expanded …

The Settlement Of Cache Valley, Joel E. Ricks

Joel Ricks Collection

The settlement of Cache Valley played a significant part in the tremendous efforts of Brigham Young to occupy and develop an extensive commonwealth in the Far West. As he led his tired but hopeful pioneers into the valley of the Great Salt Lake in 1847, it did not seem likely that one of America's greatest colonial enterprises was in the making.

Bulletin No. 385 - Comparitive Nutritive Value And Palatability Of Some Introduced And Native Forage Plants For Spring And Summer Grazing, C. Wayne Cook, L. A. Stoddart, Lorin E. Harris

UAES Bulletins

From 1952 to 1954 studies were conducted on foothill ranges of central Utah to determine the forage production, palatability, and nutritive value of some of the more important native and introduced species used for spring and summer grazing.

Plants studied were four introduced wheatgrasses (crested, tall, pubescent, and intermediate) , four native grasses (western wheatgrass, beardless wheatgrass, squirreltail grass, and Indian ricegrass), and two introduced annual forbs (Russian-thistle, and smother weed).

Field digestibility trials were conducted to determine the nutrient content by the lignin-ratio technique. In addition, both sheep and cattle preferences were studied on areas where both introduced and …

The Development Of A Practical Method For The Histological Preparation Of Adult Mammalian Bone, John F. Noble

Biology

Histological demonstration of bone has long presented a special and most difficult problem in histopathological laboratories. Many and varied techniques are described in the literature, but most of them concern only special phases of the total process. Also, many techniques which are applicable to the processing of small and yound animal bones are not suitable to routine processing of larger or adult mammalian bones.

The Physiological Effects Of Feeding Systox Residues To Cows And Calves, Le Grande C. Ellis

Biology

Since World War II there has been an increase in the number of new insecticides on the market. One group, the organic phosphate insecticides which were developed during the war by Schrader (2, 20), is effective in controlling plant-feeding insects (19). Soon after these new insecticides were introduced, reports indicated that residues remained on forage crops after harvest which could be directly harmful to animals consuming them, or indirectly to man. It has been shown by Biddulph et al. (5) and Sheppard et al. (31) that DDT residues appear in the milk of cows eating DDT treated alfalfa. …

Fluctuations In Size And Concentration Of Tritrichomonas Foetus In Preputial Samples, George A. Jeffs

Biology

It has been established that Tritrichomonas foetus is an important organism in causing abortion and infertility in cattle. The disease produced by this flagellate results in an annual loss of over one million dollars in the United States alone. The importance of the disease warrants further investigation of this organism. The investigation was undertaken in order to obtain information concerning fluctuations in size of Tritrichomonas foetus, concentration of the organism in preputial samples, and the pH of the preputial fluid in which the parasite occurs; and to observe any possible relationship between these.
