The Effects Of Acute Ammonia Toxicity On Certain Homogram Parameters In Sheep, William C. Kirkpatrick

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Due to the rapidly expanding human population, one of the greatest problems facing agricultural scientists is the development of adequate food resources to meet the growing demand for quality protein. The development of more economical and higher quality feed for ruminant animals is essential since they are one of man's primary sources of animal protein. Microorganisms in the ruminant stomach convert relatively cheap non-protein nitrogen compounds into bacterial proteins, which are digested, absorbed, and utilized by the host animal. Urea, a common non-protein nitrogen compound, is hydrolyzed into ammonia and carbon dioxide by bacterial urease. When urea is hydrolyzed faster …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Even though growing and finishing beef cattle have been fed satisfactorily on all-concentrate diets, in many instances weight gains have been improved and management problems reduced by including some conventional form of roughage in the diet. The most efficient level of roughage will likely be a variable factor depending upon a number of things including weight and condition of the cattle and. nature of the roughages and concentrates. It is a well-established fact that .as the energy content of the diet increases the rate of gain increases and the feed required per unit of gain decreases. In addition to rate …

The Effects Of Erythropoietin, Dibenzyline, And Iron Dextran On The Hemogram Of Doe And Fetal Rabbits, Eugene Austin Gardner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The iron deficiency anemia found particularly in swine has a high incidence in the newborn. The nutrition of the sow inversely affects progression of the anemia. Newborn nutritional status, also, inversely augments the anemic condition. The anemia does not become apparent in the newborn until a few days following parturition. There is a drastic decrease in iron availability with succeeding decreases in normal hemoglobin formation and mature red blood cell formation. An important factor along with these conditions is susceptibility to disease leading to death. A gradual return to normal follows if the newborn survives the anemic period. This condition …

Man And Nature In Herman Melville's "The Encantadas", Jay J. Jackson

Parasites Of Shrews In Brookings County, South Dakota, Gary D. Collins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The short-tailed shrew, Blarina brevicauda, and the masked shrew, Sorex cinereus, are the two representatives of the shrew family in Brookings County, South Dakota. These mammals, by the very fact that they are insectivores, are potential hosts for a varied fauna of parasites, as insects serve as intermediate hosts for a number of helminths. Although shrews are insectivores, they are omnivorous. An opportunist, the shrew will consume an abundance of any available food. They have been known to feed on a bird's nest (Horvath, 1965) and attack a garter snake (Byle, 1965). Hair from various small mammals was found in …
