Supplemental Vitamins In The Drinking Water For Early Weaned Pigs And Growing Rats, Marvin Eugene Wastell Mar 1967

Supplemental Vitamins In The Drinking Water For Early Weaned Pigs And Growing Rats, Marvin Eugene Wastell

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Vitamins are defined as organic compounds required in small amounts to perform many essential functions in the animal body. All vitamins have different structures and perform different functions. Experimental research has shown that it is very important to supply adequate amounts of vitamins to insure normal growth and body maintenance of animals. Swine producers use completely mixed diets or the free choice feeding of corn and supplement, which includes proteins, minerals, vitamins and additives, as methods of supplying supplemental vitamins for pigs. These two methods have been accepted by modern swine producers as good feeding programs because they have supported …


A Survey Of School Districts In Boyd County, Nebraska, 1965-1966, Robert Stuerman Mar 1967

A Survey Of School Districts In Boyd County, Nebraska, 1965-1966, Robert Stuerman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today, due to the ever-increasing educational requirements laid down by states and the increasing costs of education, many of the smaller districts have either been forced to close down or are lacking in one or more of the state requirements and are on the verge of losing their accreditation and ultimately their school. Dennis M. David made a survey of 135 citizens in five mid-western states and showed that only one-fourth of the people were aware that the purpose of reorganization of school districts is to provide better education. It has been shown through surveys of Nebraska County high school …

The bouts increased …


The Nature And The Influence Of The Work Of The Information And Education Section, South Dakota Department Of Game, Fish And Parks, Edward Riedl Mar 1967

The Nature And The Influence Of The Work Of The Information And Education Section, South Dakota Department Of Game, Fish And Parks, Edward Riedl

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This paper deals with a study of an organization whose responsibility is to inform and educate people. This is a study of the program of the Information and Education Section, South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks. There is much confusion connected with the terms “public relations,” “publicity,” and “public information.” Definitions of these terms will result in a better understanding of this study. Emery, Ault and Agee define public relations, “as the planned effort to influence and maintain favorable opinion through acceptable performance, honestly presented, and with reliance on two-way communications.”1 Public relations is also a management function. …


Planned Educational Progress In The Mitchell Public School System, Donald Jesse Mclean Feb 1967

Planned Educational Progress In The Mitchell Public School System, Donald Jesse Mclean

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is but one major purpose for the existence of the public schools in the American society. That purpose is to provide the best possible education for the nation’s children. Several elements are required to make this successful program a reality within a given community. The school board and administration must provide for at least three important ingredients, the first being a system of well-designed school buildings. The second is the employment of well- prepared teachers and the third is a well-planned curriculum. To accomplish a successful program it is necessary to continually evaluate all three areas. In doing so …


Nitrate--Urea Interrelationships In Sheep, Donald Wayne Hoar Feb 1967

Nitrate--Urea Interrelationships In Sheep, Donald Wayne Hoar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nitrates are absorbed from the soil by plants and serve as a source of nitrogen which is converted into protein and other nitrogen containing compounds. Plants usually contain relatively small amounts of nitrate because it is converted into other nitrogenous compounds rapidly after being absorbed. Under certain conditions some plants may accumulate fairly high concentrations of nitrate. While these high concentrations are not toxic to the plant, animals consuming them may sometimes show symptoms of nitrate toxicity. Nitrate is not very toxic, but it is readily converted into nitrite which causes toxicity. Nitrate is not very toxic, but it is …


The Effects Of Arsenical Compounds On Growth And Enzymes Of Klebsiella Pneumoniae, M. L. Halling Feb 1967

The Effects Of Arsenical Compounds On Growth And Enzymes Of Klebsiella Pneumoniae, M. L. Halling

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For many years people have equated arsenic or compounds containing arsenic with poison. Inorganic arsenic compounds are used as chemotherapeutic agents as well as poisons. Organic arsenicals were introduced at the start of this century launching modern chemotherapy. The introduction of antibiotics in the 1940’s virtually replaced organic arsenicals in chemotherapy. Solutions of inorganic arsenic compounds are used as tonics for animals and to finish animals for show. Because arsenicals are excreted by animals in much the same structure as they are consumed and arsenite prevents both putrefaction and growth, it is possible the decomposition of animal excreta will be …


The Ecology Of The Nitrogen-Fixing Azotobacter And Klebsiella In Selected South Dakota Lakes, Paul A. Gillespie Feb 1967

The Ecology Of The Nitrogen-Fixing Azotobacter And Klebsiella In Selected South Dakota Lakes, Paul A. Gillespie

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The importance of nitrogen in an aquatic ecosystem is quite well known. Nitrogen, being originally derived from the atmosphere, enters into a complex cycle involving both the plant and animal components of the ecosystem. The nitrogenous compounds of natural waters may be broken down into the main categories according to their source, either allochthones or autochthonous. Allochthones nitrogen is that derived from the outside sources and includes those compounds carried into the lake by precipitation, by surface runoff containing terrestrial nitrogen, or by the inflow of ground water. Autochthonous nitrogenous compounds are those which result from the fixation of elemental …


Effects Of A Sanitary Landfill On The Subsequential Uses Of The Related Ground Water, Gary Emery Cason Jan 1967

Effects Of A Sanitary Landfill On The Subsequential Uses Of The Related Ground Water, Gary Emery Cason

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1960 the city of Brookings purchased a quarter section of land for a sanitary landfill. The site was located approximately two miles south of the city and was an inactive gravel excavation area prior to being used as a refuse disposal site (1-19). In the future, other parts of the quarter section, which are presently being used for farming operations, will be converted to fill areas as a need arises. The Brookings refuse disposal site is not operated as a conventional sanitary landfill, where all refuse is deposited in one cell, compacted, and covered without burning. Rather, the refuse …


A Study Of Dioxane-Water And Dioxane-Dioxane Interactions, Joel William Beckmann Jan 1967

A Study Of Dioxane-Water And Dioxane-Dioxane Interactions, Joel William Beckmann

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The main objective of this study was to consider the problem of whether or not information about intermolecular interactions can be obtained from the examination of macroscopic properties of various systems. In this study it was chosen to investigate the intermolecular interactions of a liquid-liquid system. The liquid-liquid system, dioxane-water, was selected for two reasons. First, a considerable amount of work has been done on this particular systems so there is a large body of information with which to work and with which correlations can be made. Secondly, there is a large discrepancy among the interpretations of the results of …

The Response Of Poults To Growth And Antirachitic Factors Of Soybean Meal And Corn, Richard Lane Arnold

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Soybean by-products have been used for animal feed protein extensively in the past years. Soybean meal has become a major source for poultry diets. Being a plant source of protein soybeans potentially could provide protein for animals in almost unlimited quantities. However, there are certain problems encountered in the feeding of soybean products to poultry. The research for this paper deals with the use of soybean the use of soybean protein in the diets of turkey poults. Isolated soy protein which is commonly used for purified diet studies contains factor(s) which cause reduced growth and a rachitic-like conditions of turkey …


Measurement Of Vertical And Horizontal Hydraulic Conductivities On An Undisturbed Soil Core, R. Kent Anderson Jan 1967

Measurement Of Vertical And Horizontal Hydraulic Conductivities On An Undisturbed Soil Core, R. Kent Anderson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Permeability is the physical property of soil which enables it to pass or conduct air or water through is macropores. This should not be confused with the infiltration rate, a term expressing the rate at which water will enter the soil surface. Whereas the infiltration rate is influenced by the hydraulic slope, permeability is not (12, p. 153)*. A term which is often confused with permeability is hydraulic conductivity. Hydraulic conductivity is a velocity term, or (L/T), expressing the rate at which a fluid passes through the soil. The specific need for hydraulic conductivity and permeability measurements is to determine …


Fox-Prey Relationships In Eastern South Dakota, Robert L. Drieslein Jan 1967

Fox-Prey Relationships In Eastern South Dakota, Robert L. Drieslein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Relationships between red foxes (Vulpes fulva) end their principal prey, particularly ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), were studied on four units in eastern South Dakota from December 1964 to September 1966. Each unit was composed of a 100-square-mile "reduction area," on which fox populations were reduced, and a 100-square-mile "check area," on which fox populations were not reduced for the study. Indices to populations of foxes, pheasants, mice, eastern cottontails (Svlvilagus floridanus) and whitetail jackrabbits (Lepus townsendi) were obtained and used to evaluate food habits and the effect of predator reduction on prey populations. Four-hundred seventeen stomachs and 104 female reproductive …


Movement Of Forage Fishes In A South Dakota Stream, Thomas P. Felix Jan 1967

Movement Of Forage Fishes In A South Dakota Stream, Thomas P. Felix

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Movement patterns of Semotilus atromaculatus, Rhinichthvs atratulus, Campostoma anomalum and Catostomus commersoni were investigated in an eastern South Dakota stream for a period of one year. Electrofishing, fin clipping and a multiple census method were employed. Population structures were estimated for each species. Populations were considered unstable due to the occurrence of appreciable emigration and immigration between sampling periods. Differential size class mobility was established for all species. Species exhibited upstream movement tendencies during the summer and more random movement tendencies during the fall. Size classes of S.atromaculatus, R. atratulus, and C. anomalum showed differential upstream movement affinities. Considerable growth …


Comparison Of Two Cultures For Use In Preacidified Skimmilk For Cottage Cheese Manufacture, Daryl D. Boddicker Jan 1967

Comparison Of Two Cultures For Use In Preacidified Skimmilk For Cottage Cheese Manufacture, Daryl D. Boddicker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Curd formation in a cultured dairy product is brought about by the addition of a bacterial culture capable of producing lactic acid from lactose. The primary function of this culture is to produce sufficient lactic acid to cause coagulation of the caseinate system of skimmilk. A secondary function of the culture is the production of flavor compounds considered to be desirable in these products. The flavor compounds produced by the normal growth of citric acid fermenting organisms are water soluble, and are largely removed during washing of the Cottage cheese curd. Therefore, flavor compounds are normally added to the cheese …


An Investigation Of The Ability Of An Individual To Perceive The Needs Of Others In A Group Setting, Herbert L. Notch Jan 1967

An Investigation Of The Ability Of An Individual To Perceive The Needs Of Others In A Group Setting, Herbert L. Notch

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study of group dynamics has always been fascinated to those interested in a group setting. While much as been done in this area, a still larger amount of knowledge lies un-sorted and mysterious in the realm of group behavior. When, and specifically, when one who transmits enthusiasm and a guiding hand to a group, attempts to understand its workings, dynamics enter the group. A group has been defined as the meeting of a number of people and their subsequent interaction1. Admittedly, social interaction does take place in a group, if the above definition is accepted. This interaction has to …

Effects Of Orally Administered Sodium D-Thyroxine Upon Pregnancy Progression In Euthyroid Rabbits And Its Effect Upon The Newborn, Gary A. Thibodeau

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many authorities believe that prophylactic treatment of idiopathic hypercholesterolemia will prevent atherosclerosis and plaque formation which almost always precedes clinical arteriosclerosis and subsequent degenerative heart disease. There has been intensive research investigation initiated to provide a pharmacologic agent that will lower elevated serum cholesterol levels in mammals including humans. Several hypocholesterolemic drugs are being tested at the present time, one of the most promising is the dextro-rotary isomer of thyroxine. This study was conducted not only to determine the effects of orally administered dextrothyroxine on pregnancy progression, but also to provide information for further investigations concerning alterations related to hypercholesterolemic …

This study was pertinent to the third area listed above. It was concerned with the effect of gamma-irradiation on seed germination and its …


On The Nature Of Some Selenium Losses From Soils And Waters, Ghaleb Musa Abu-Erreish Jan 1967

On The Nature Of Some Selenium Losses From Soils And Waters, Ghaleb Musa Abu-Erreish

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Selenium is of interest to the animal nutritionists and to the biochemist from two standpoints. In some areas of the world it occurs in soils in excesses, and the plants growing in these soils contain levels of the element that are toxic to livestock that consume the plants. On the other hand, selenium appears to be essential to the well-being of certain animals, at least under some feeding regimens, and in a number of areas the soils produce feeds that are deficient in the element (48). In either case, an understanding of the cycling of selenium in nature is essential …


Factors Affecting Body, Texture, And Water Holding Capacity Of A New Low-Fat Spread-Type Dairy Product, Basil K. Dalaly Jan 1967

Factors Affecting Body, Texture, And Water Holding Capacity Of A New Low-Fat Spread-Type Dairy Product, Basil K. Dalaly

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

At the South Dakota State University Dairy Science Department, a challenging work is being conducted to develop a new spread type· dairy product which is made almost entirely of dairy ingredients. It contains about 40% fat, 6% protein, 40% water, and 1.9% salts. Among the problems which faced the workers on this project were the process induced changes in the protein and the water holding capacity, which are interlinked. The problem of water holding capacity is increased by the high water content of the product compared with butter, which contains about 16% water. Maintaining the stability of the fat emulsion …


The Evaluation Of Soybean Protein As A Major World Food Supply, Ray D. Branham Jan 1967

The Evaluation Of Soybean Protein As A Major World Food Supply, Ray D. Branham

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is a need to find a high protein food that is inexpensive and yet contains all the essential amino acids. So far there has been small scale attempts made by a handful of companies to utilize some type of high protein product. Soybean seemed to be a likely possibility to fulfill these qualifications. The primary objective for doing this research problem is to attempt to answer whether soybean protein fits the qualifications necessary to alleviate the world food problem by proving to be an acceptable and inexpensive, yet highly nutritive food for those now suffering or those who will …
