Effect Of Various Feed Additives On Gain, Feed Efficiency And Digestibility Of Rations By Lambs, Paul R. Zimmer Mar 1958

Effect Of Various Feed Additives On Gain, Feed Efficiency And Digestibility Of Rations By Lambs, Paul R. Zimmer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is now an established practice to feed continuously certain feed additives in the rations of simple stomach animals for the control of disease, digestive troubles, bloat, internal parasites and for their growth stimulating properties. It is very important that additives of an antibacterial nature in rations for ruminants be studied thoroughly so their beneficial effects, if any, can be determined. If the bacteria are not functioning normally and digesting properly, the animal will suffer. Digestion of the ration would also be affected, and the efficiency of feed conversion would diminish. Supplements to the ruminant ration in the form of …

A Study On Turkish Highways, Orhan Tasangil Feb 1958

A Study On Turkish Highways, Orhan Tasangil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the time of the Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Empire, the majority of the roads were built for the purpose of the major military campaigns. Later, the discovery of the ocean rout via the Cape of Good Hope caused the old caravan routes to be neglected; and consequently, the roads of Turkey were allowed to deteriorate. With the development of express highways and modern commercial vehicles, Turkey has now entered an era in which road transport is again in a position to compete even with sea transportation. Turkey, therefore, will play once again an important part internationally and this …

The Amino Acid Composition Of Four Varieties Of Rice From India, Devaki B. Kripalani Jan 1958

The Amino Acid Composition Of Four Varieties Of Rice From India, Devaki B. Kripalani

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, emphasis has been placed on the evaluation of protein quality rather than the total quantity of protein in foods. This is indeed a timely approach, as utilization of the amino acids, which are constituents of proteins, is dependent on all of the essential amino acids being present simultaneously and in proper proportion. Because rice is widely used by the people in India and since there is no particularly rich source of protein, other than the pulses, in the diet of common people, more information on the amino acid composition of the foods (especially rice) commonly consumed, is …

Raw Sewage Stabilization Ponds As A Means Of Sewage Treatment, John Robert Anderson Jan 1958

Raw Sewage Stabilization Ponds As A Means Of Sewage Treatment, John Robert Anderson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The successful operation of sewage stabilization ponds by a number of North and South Dakota communities during the past few years has shown this method of disposal to be adequate in taking care of the needs of small communities. Since land is relatively cheap compared to construction work involved in the building of a sewage treatment plant, and since the actual construction cost of a stabilization pond I s a comparatively small figure, this type of treatment has been readily accepted by the smaller communities. Because stabilization ponds are primarily successful due to solar radiation and vary according to climatic …

Listeria Monocytogenes, Alvin G. Fiscus Jan 1957

Listeria Monocytogenes, Alvin G. Fiscus

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Organisms of the genus Listeria have stimulated a great deal of interest as a result of their pathogenicity and affinity for the central nervous system. The clinical condition produced by this organism is known as listeriosis, or in ruminants as “circling disease”. The organism was described by Murray, Webb and Swann in 1926 as the causative agent of an eqizootic infection in laboratory rabbits and guinea pigs. Their observations showed that the disease produced emaciation, abundant exudate in serous cavities, necrotic foci in and on various organs, and a marked increase in monocytes circulating in the blood stream. The name …
