The Influence Of Anaerobic Pretreatment On The Treatability Of A Milk Waste, Jerry Lee Siegel
The Influence Of Anaerobic Pretreatment On The Treatability Of A Milk Waste, Jerry Lee Siegel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Both anaerobic and aerobic treatment of wastewater has been used for many years. Some of the common aerobic treatment systems include oxidation or stabilization ponds, activated sludge, trickling filters, and aerated lagoons. Anaerobic treatment has been most commonly used for digestion of sewage sludge. However, septic tanks, anaerobic lagoons, and anaerobic activated sludge (contact stabilization) units are used to treat wastewater anaerobically. More recently, the two systems have been used in combination, with the anaerobic system preceding the aerobic one. This type of treatment has been used primarily for lagooning of industrial wastes, and most commonly for meat-packing wastes. In …

Melengenstrol Acetate And Diethylstilbestrol For Feedlot Heifers, Donald C. Ridgway
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 …
Trimethylselenonium Chloride Metabolism And Toxicity In The Rat, Boyd D. Obermeyer
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 …

Dna Base Composition Of Actinomyces And Related Anaerobic Diphtheroids, Patricia A. Campbell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The taxonomy of the anaerobic bacteria known as diphtheroids is a subject of study by the Subgroup on Taxonomy of Microaerophilic Actinomycetes, an authorized Subgroup of the Subcommittee on Taxonomy of the Actinomycetales of the International Committee on Nomenclature of Bacteria, International Association of Microbiological Societies. Dr. Gordon Robertstad, a member of this committee, has stimulated a series of studies on these organisms. At present, the species differentiation coupled with genus differentiation among anaerobic diphtheroids is in a state of flux. Tests which were previously thought to be indisputable are now not entirely reliable. Fermentation reactions, catalase tests, serology, and …
A Study Of The Relationship Between Ceratocystis Ulmi And Elm Callus In Vitro, Charles R. Mcmullen
A Study Of The Relationship Between Ceratocystis Ulmi And Elm Callus In Vitro, Charles R. Mcmullen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the course of studies dealing with the Dutch elm disease, it has become apparent that there.is a need for a rapid, efficient screening method for determining disease resistance. Tissue culture is a discipline that is now well accepted in the field of plant physiology, but is a rather new technique in the field of plant pathology. The investigations of diseased tissue, until recently, has been done with the intact plant. This study has investigated the possibility of studying the growth of the fungus on host tissue cultures as a screening technique.
Indoor Versus Outdoor Calf Rearing At Three Weaning Ages, Larry J. Jorgenson
Indoor Versus Outdoor Calf Rearing At Three Weaning Ages, Larry J. Jorgenson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In order to be profitable, a dairy herb must have good heifers to meet replacement needs. According to USDA (51), these needs are substantial because 25% of the cows in an average herd must be replaced each year as they no longer return a profit. Meeting these herd replacement needs has long been a serious problem of the dairyman. Nation-wide calf loss estimates ranged between 8 and 25% with an estimated annual loss to the industry of $50 million (10). South Dakota dairymen are not immune to these mortality losses and some studies (28, 52) indicate that their losses may …

Roughage Levels And Roughage Substitutes In High Concentrate Diets For Finishing Beef Cattle And Lambs, William M. Larson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Experiments were conducted with yearling beef cattle and feeder lambs to determine the effects of adding 3% oyster shells or various levels of hay to an all-concentrate diet of rolled corn grain adequately supplemented with protein, minerals and vitamins A and E. Criteria used for evaluating diets with varying amounts of roughage included feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, rumen fermentation, digestibility and concentrate replacement value of hay. In experiments with beef cattle, steers fed an all-concentrate diet gained 1.30 kg. daily with 6.79 kg. feed required per kg. gain. Adding 3% oyster shells to this diet resulted in only small effects …
Biological Activity Of Trimethylselenonium-Selenium And Influence Of Vitamin E On Its In Vivo Formation In Rats Using A Torula Yeast Diet, David Ding Tsair Tsay
Biological Activity Of Trimethylselenonium-Selenium And Influence Of Vitamin E On Its In Vivo Formation In Rats Using A Torula Yeast Diet, David Ding Tsair Tsay
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During recent times, many efforts have been extended to investigate the metabolism of selenium compounds-in microorganisms, animals and plants. Several investigators (1-3) have proposed some hypothetical metabolic pathways for selenium. However, the role of selenium in the life function of animals remains unknown. Liver necrosis, as induced by the feeding of a Torula yeast diet which is unsupplemented with vitamin E and selenium, is known to be a fatal symptom in rats (4-6). The addition of either vitamin E or selenium to the diet is associated with the prevention of this condition. Schwarz (7) has suggested that vitamin E and …

The Supplementation Of Lysine To Growing And Finishing Swine, Roger D. Magstadt
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the United States the swine industry contributes a great deal to the economy of the corn-belt farmer. On June 1, 1967, the U.S.D.A. Statistical Reporting Service reported 43,642,000 swine in the ten Corn Belt States, which produce three-fourths of the United States pig crop. South Dakota produced approximately 2,700,000 hogs in 1966 with a value of 137.5 million dollars, which is approximately 18.1% of the total farm income. In recent years the trend toward producing a fast-growing, efficient and meaty hog has necessitated that the nutritional regimen be changed to help express the hereditary potential of the modern meat …
