Studies Of High Level Copper Supplementation To Rations For Growing-Finishing Swine, Larry Wayne De Goey Jan 1970

Studies Of High Level Copper Supplementation To Rations For Growing-Finishing Swine, Larry Wayne De Goey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Scientists are continually searching for new compounds, as well as optimum levels and combinations of existing compounds, in order to improve gain and feed efficiency of pigs fed common swine rations without adversely affecting the quality of the pork produced. Feed efficiency is of particular importance to a profitable swine enterprise since feed costs make up approximately 65% of total production costs. During the last two decades there has been considerable interest in the ability of copper to increase gains and feed efficiency when fed at high levels in swine rations. Several reports have indicated that copper is an effective …

Blood And Tissue Ammonium-Nitrogen Levels And Tissue Water In Pregnant Urea-Treated Rabbits, Myron Leon Lang Feb 1969

Blood And Tissue Ammonium-Nitrogen Levels And Tissue Water In Pregnant Urea-Treated Rabbits, Myron Leon Lang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ammonia is produced by the normal cellular metabolic processes in mammals; however, ammonia can produce deleterious effects which are well known to many research fields. Ammonia when administered or absorbed at a slow rate may be tolerated in vast quantities by most living organisms. Relatively minute blood ammonium-nitrogen (BAN) levels are present because mammals have efficient systems for excreting ammonia or converting it to non-toxic end products. Normal BAN levels originate mainly from cellular metabolism and bacterial degradation of nitrogenous substrates in the alimentary tract lumen. Impaired detoxification processes (hepatic functional insufficiency and/or portal system shunts) promote elevated BAN levels …


Induced Multiple Ovulation In The Bovine, Franklin Lewis Schwartz Feb 1969

Induced Multiple Ovulation In The Bovine, Franklin Lewis Schwartz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

To the cow-calf operator, the single most important factor affecting his economic livelihood is the number of calves produced and weaned for a given year. Unfortunately, due to low reproductive efficiency in comparison with other cattle traits, the possibility of having a calf crop of greater th9n 80 percent at weaning is not too common. The low heritability estimates that have been reported for reproductive performance indicate that little improvement can be expected through selection. To the animal scientist this problem can best be met by the development of a simple and reliable method of inducing for the most part, …


Isolation Of Keratinophilic Fungi From Soil And Wild Animals In South Dakota, William Urban Knudtson Jan 1969

Isolation Of Keratinophilic Fungi From Soil And Wild Animals In South Dakota, William Urban Knudtson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little is known of the ecology of keratinophilic fungi in animal populations and their habitats in South Dakota. Recent investigation of an outbreak of ringworm in blue foxes on a fur farm in South Dakota indicated that the source of infection may have been wild animals which had been captured and raised in the kennels previous to occupancy by the foxes. In recent years, a number of investigators have demonstrated that small and large mammals may carry keratinophilic fungi in their coats (13, 29-31, 52, 56-60, 63, 70, 77) and have postulated on the role of infected animals in …


Mare's Milk Composition As Related To "Foal Heat" Scours, Robert H. Johnston Jan 1969

Mare's Milk Composition As Related To "Foal Heat" Scours, Robert H. Johnston

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A condition known as “foal heat" scours often develops in young foals during the mare's first estrum, which usually commences at nine days post-partum. Although death due to this affliction is rare, the results such as loss or hair around the anus, unthriftiness of the foals, foul odor in the stable area, and unsight1iness or the foals causes more than minor concern among horsemen. Severa1 causes for "foal heat" scours have been proposed by those familiar with the condition Among these theories are (1) changes in the composition of the milk, (2) overloading of the foal's digestive tract, (3) ingestion …


Cell-Wall Analyses Of Diphtheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Everett E. Scheetz Jan 1969

Cell-Wall Analyses Of Diphtheroids Isolated From Cattle And Swine, Everett E. Scheetz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Biever, working in this laboratory, isolated numerous diphtheroidal organisms from cattle and swine sources. These anaerobic diptheroids were morphologically similar to organisms in the genera Corynebacterium and Actinomyces. King and Meyer found that isolates of anaerobic diptheroids from human sources were more closely related to the Corynebacterium based upon metabolic and serologic differentiation. Their work consisted of separating A. bovis from several isolates of anaerobic diptheroids on the basis of the catalase test, litmus milk reactions, and the fermentation of xylose, salicin, and raffinose. However, Grasser reported that the fermentation reactions are variable and cannot be used as definite criteria …


Melengenstrol Acetate And Diethylstilbestrol For Feedlot Heifers, Donald C. Ridgway Jan 1969

Melengenstrol Acetate And Diethylstilbestrol For Feedlot Heifers, Donald C. Ridgway

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Heifers comprise 30 to 40% or- the feed cattle slaughtered annually. The ratio of steers to heifers will vary depending on the numbers saved for breeding herds. Numbers needed for this purpose may vary somewhat depending on the rate or culling in cow herds and changes in the cattle population. It is apparent, however, that a large percentage of the cattle available for feedlots will be heifers. Heifers gain at a slower rate and utilize feed less efficiently than steers under similar feeding systems. Heifer carcasses have also been shown to contain more fat trim than steer carcasses when fed …


Themes Of Isolation And Relationship In Selected Novels Of Frederick Manfred, Joan Hilmoe Jan 1969

Themes Of Isolation And Relationship In Selected Novels Of Frederick Manfred, Joan Hilmoe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The initial appeal of the novelist Frederick Manfred for this student of American literature grew from the fact that he is a contemporary writer and that he lives in the Midwest, more precisely, in Siouxland. At first his novels seemed primarily entertaining, but interest in his work developed with an awareness of a parallel between Manfred's concepts of the isolation of man and relationship to his fellow man and modern psychological ideas. Throughout the research and study of several novels, insights have crystallized to form a clearer idea of man's search for identity and the results of that search in …


A Time-Lapse Photography Study Of Free Stall Housing For Dairy Calves, James L. Reeves Jan 1969

A Time-Lapse Photography Study Of Free Stall Housing For Dairy Calves, James L. Reeves

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As a principal means of herd replacement and expansion, the dairy calf is vital to the success of a dairy enterprise. High mortality rates among dairy calves, frequently as high as twenty percent, are very costly to the dairyman. Besides paying the high cost of losing a calf, the dairyman must find a replacement for the animal. Obtaining a herd animal from outside sources involves the risk that the replacement may be of lower quality than was the lost calf. Through careful selection of animals and a well-planned breeding program, a good farm manager will find raising his own replacement …

Trimethylselenonium Chloride Metabolism And Toxicity In The Rat, Boyd D. Obermeyer Jan 1969

Trimethylselenonium Chloride Metabolism And Toxicity In The Rat, Boyd D. Obermeyer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Historically the interest in organic derivatives of selenium has been primarily centered on selenium analogs of sulfur compounds, the selenium analogs of the sulfur-containing amino acids. Experimental studies of the metabo1ism of seleno-organic compounds have been limited to a large extent by their unavailability. Dimethyl selenide is the only organic selenium compound that has been identified as an exhalation product from a laboratory animal injected with an inorganic form of· selenium. Although the toxicity of selenium has been known for many years, the mode of action of the element has remained a mystery. Many investigations on the toxicity of selenium …

Evaluation Of The Yield And Organoleptic Quality Of Split And Whole Country Style Cured Hams, Nickolas William Norder

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Any evaluation of carcass or wholesale cut characteristics is generally based upon quality and quantity of lean meat. The quantity factor is of prime importance to the breeder, producer, processor and consumer. Extensive exploration of techniques to increase the relative yield of lean meat in the carcass has been conducted by animal breeders and livestock production personnel. Furthermore, studies concerned primarily with the development of processing methods which increase yield and final product net weight have been undertaken by the meat industry. Coupled with the quantity factor is the growing concern for product quality. A product with high consumer acceptability …
