Dynafac, Fat And Diethylstilbestrol For Fattening Cattle, Frank W. Whetzal Feb 1963

Dynafac, Fat And Diethylstilbestrol For Fattening Cattle, Frank W. Whetzal

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

By nature, the ruminant animal was designed to be primarily a forage consuming animal. Under usual conditions, a large percentage of the nutrients consumed by ruminants are furnished by high-fiber feeds. The ruminant animal is relatively inefficient in the conversion of food nutrients into body tissues. Not only is the ruminant relatively inefficient in feed conversion, it is also more prone to digestive disturbances when high concentrate rations are fed. Improvement in the animal must come from effective selection and/or breeding of more efficient animals or from alteration of the physiological processes governing the animal’ metabolism which will promote increased …


Analysis Of Productivity Of Sheep Having Tails Of Different Lengths, Ivan Ralph Sundal Feb 1963

Analysis Of Productivity Of Sheep Having Tails Of Different Lengths, Ivan Ralph Sundal

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was conducted to determine if taillessness has any effect on production characters in the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment station’s No-Tail sheep flock. Taillessness in this flock is derived from six Siberian fat-rumped sheep brought to South Dakota in 1913. These sheep did not have a tail but had a large gob of fat on either side of the rump. They were crossed with common United States breeds to develop a breed of sheep with good mutton and wool qualities as well as being tailless. Initial crossbreeding from which the No-Tail flock was established was done in 1913. Records …


Economics Of Scale In Dairying: An Exploration Of Comparative Models Of Stanchion And Loose Housing Systems, Wayne J. Schulte Feb 1963

Economics Of Scale In Dairying: An Exploration Of Comparative Models Of Stanchion And Loose Housing Systems, Wayne J. Schulte

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to provide South Dakota Dairy producers and others interested in establishing large scale dairy operations with a more complete set of guide lines that will help them to determine the profitableness of expanding existing or establishing new dairy producing units. It is hoped that many management problems, encountered by existing or previous “cow pools” can either be eliminated or greatly reduced in future large scale dairy operations. An average of the four surveyed 8-140 cow dairy herds and eight model dairy systems were analyzed in this study. The three objectives were to: (1) determine …


A Proposed Rural Development Program And Its Implications For Puktia, Afghanistan, Mohammed Afzal Puktianie Feb 1963

A Proposed Rural Development Program And Its Implications For Puktia, Afghanistan, Mohammed Afzal Puktianie

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The main concern of this study is to work out a community development program for the Province of Puktia, Afghanistan, which will correspond to the basic values of the existing social systems in that part of the country. People in Puktia have lived their traditional way of life for centuries and will continue to do so until changes are introduced by an outside agency. We are assuming that the people in this society cannot conintue their way of life without being affected by the progress made in the surrounding areas and other parts of the world; therefore, changes must be …


Economic Development In Taiwan, Chan Tung Li Jan 1963

Economic Development In Taiwan, Chan Tung Li

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study is a macroanalysis of economic development in Taiwan during the 1950’s. The major source of information is aggregative second data which were obtained from the Chinese publications. Taiwan’s economy is still primarily agricultural even though it has been experiencing a rapid development of industry since 1950l more than 50 per cent of the population still derives its livelihood from agricultural. The agricultural industry supplies not only foodstuffs and raw materials but also provides almost 70 per cent of the total foreign exchange from exports of agricultural commodities. Agricultural credit is an essential instrument for agricultural development; especially is …


Vitamin A And Carotene Requirements Of Fattening Beef Cattle, Thomas M. Hansen Jan 1963

Vitamin A And Carotene Requirements Of Fattening Beef Cattle, Thomas M. Hansen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the last 25 years, several experiments have been conducted to study the amount of vitamin A and carotene needed by cattle. More emphasis has been devoted to carotene since cattle rations contain varying amounts of this precursor of vitamin A. Increasing market demands for lightweight cattle have brought about changes in methods of feeding. Cattle are being fattened rapidly at young ages using rations which contain a large amount of concentrates. Such rations are often low in carotene and need vitamin A or carotene supplementation. Recently, several research workers have questioned the adequacy of present recommended vitamin A and …


A Linear Programming Approach To The Optimum Farm Organizations For Selected Farm Sizes Under Dryland And Partially Irrigated Conditions In The Missouri Slope Region Of The Oahe Unit, Kenwood James Gors Jan 1963

A Linear Programming Approach To The Optimum Farm Organizations For Selected Farm Sizes Under Dryland And Partially Irrigated Conditions In The Missouri Slope Region Of The Oahe Unit, Kenwood James Gors

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

What will the optimum farm organizations yield in terms of net income to the farmer? The purpose of this study was to answer this question for the selected farm sizes. The question was answered through the use of linear programming. The selected farm sizes were 640, 1280, and 2560 acre dryland farms and 560, 1080, and 2240 acre partially irrigated farms. The supply of labor available was 240 man hours per month and 2500 total man hours per year from the farm operator and his family and also whatever more could be profitably hired. The farm was completely operator owned …


Identification Of Dimethyl Selenide As A Respiratory Product From Organisms Administered Selenium Compounds, James Donald Froom Jan 1963

Identification Of Dimethyl Selenide As A Respiratory Product From Organisms Administered Selenium Compounds, James Donald Froom

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Dimethyl selenide mercuric chloride complex was prepared and characterized. Dimethyl selenide as released from this complex was gas chromatographed as a reference standard in the identification of dimethyl selenide respired from organisms administered selenium compounds. Gas chromatographic evidence in which the retention time of the reference standard was compared with the unknown indicated that selenium compounds are metabolized by organisms with the elimination of dimethyl selenide as an end product of respiration. Rats administered sodium selenite intraperitoneally respired an odorous gas which was shown to be dimethyl selenide. Aspergillus mold administered sodium selenite yielded a volatile product which appeared as …


Synchronization Of Estrus In Swine, Robert D. Fritschen Jan 1963

Synchronization Of Estrus In Swine, Robert D. Fritschen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Greater production and efficiency of management in the livestock industry has increased the need for artificial breeding of farm animals. The solution to the development of artificial insemination in any species depends greatly on being able to preserve the semen for several days with minimum loss in fertilizing capacity. Synchronization of estrus could make swine artificial insemination practical and economical. Four separate experiments were conducted with a total of 176 gilts in an attempt to synchronize estrus and conception in gilts by use of exogenous hormones. The first experiment was conducted with 48 gilts. The two hormones used in this …


The Effect Of Erythromycin On Feed Consumption, Rate Of Gain, Feed Efficiency And Fecal Bacteria Of Growing Swine, Lawrence Eugene Carson Jan 1963

The Effect Of Erythromycin On Feed Consumption, Rate Of Gain, Feed Efficiency And Fecal Bacteria Of Growing Swine, Lawrence Eugene Carson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An experiment consisting of three separate trials was conducted to determine the effect of adding erythromycin thiocyanate at various levels to growing-finishing swine rations. The study was concerned with the effect of the antibiotic on feed palatability, feed consumption, rate of gain, feed efficiency, and fecal bacteria when added to various rations fed to growing-finishing swine. It was concluded that erythromycin stimulated gains and improved feed efficiency when added to protein supplements at 25 grams per ton even though it decreased the acceptability of the supplement initially. When erythromycin was added to the supplement at 50 grams per ton palatability …

A Comparison Of Some Limnological Changes Caused By The Brookings Sewage Treatment Plant On Six-Mile Creek And The Big Sioux River, Richard Ruelle

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Introduction: In the days of the early pioneers in South Dakota and other sparsely settled areas, there was no problem in finding a sufficient supply of water for drinking, cooking, and washing purposes. The problems of waste disposal were taken care of by the microorganisms in the soil, the microorganisms easily being able to keep pace with the few settlers. As cities and towns began to form, usually along a stream where there was an abundant supply of fresh water, sewage disposal became a growing problem. The easiest way to get rid of the sewage was to dump it into …
