Effects Of Dieldrin On Reproduction Of Penned Hen Pheasants, Thomas Donald Atkins Jan 1967

Effects Of Dieldrin On Reproduction Of Penned Hen Pheasants, Thomas Donald Atkins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Pen studies to determine the effects of dieldrin on reproduction of the hen pheasant were conducted for two breeding seasons, Hen pheasants were caged individually and administered encapsulated dieldrin at weekly intervals. The first season, treatment levels were 0, 2 or 4 mg of dieldrin per hen per week. Hens receiving 4 mg weighed more and laid heavier eggs than the controls. However, these differences were not attributed to the effects of dieldrin, but to the condition of the hens when first treated. Hatchability of eggs from the 2 mg group was significantly higher for an undetermined reason. Feed consumption, …


A Modified Prill And Hammer Method Used In The Study Of Diacetyl Production By Single Strain Lactic Streptococci, Burdell D. Alfke Jan 1967

A Modified Prill And Hammer Method Used In The Study Of Diacetyl Production By Single Strain Lactic Streptococci, Burdell D. Alfke

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A dicarbonyl compound, 2, 3-butanedione, commonly referred to as diacetyl or biacetyl, is considered by many to be-an important flavor constituent of butter and butter cultures. Milk fat has no natural diacetyl content and in the past the diacetyl found in butter resulted from bacterial fermentation of the cream before churning. In recent years commercial lactic cultures have been used, which are added to the fat granules before ''working" of the butter. Bacterial cultures used by the dairy industry generally consist of a mixture of two streptococcus types. A homofermentative type produces primarily lactic acid from the lactose of milk. …


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 Effect Of 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic Acid On Flax, Richard J. Vetter Jan 1967

The Effect Of 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic Acid On Flax, Richard J. Vetter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Through the study of environmental control of plant growth, it has become known that external factors control the internal hormonal factors. The time and amount of hormone produced control the plant growth. It therefore has become of interest, since the discovery of growth regulators, to think about artificial application of hormones and antihormones. The selection, timing and amount of hormone applied are very important. The desired result is an alteration of the life cycle of the plant in such a manner that an increase in yield is achieved.

A Comparison Of The Social Criticism In Melville's Typee And Thoreau's Walden, Mary Riedy Jan 1967

A Comparison Of The Social Criticism In Melville's Typee And Thoreau's Walden, Mary Riedy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau are two of the most original American authors who appeared during the first half of the nineteenth century. Although the writings of both Melville and Thoreau have been examined extensively in scholarship, little has been done in the way of attempting a comparison of their work. In fact, Melville and Thoreau was an avowed member of the Transcendentalist movement, which Melville openly opposed.1 There are, indeed, many dissimilarities between the two writers. Thoreau belonged to the Concord group of authors, while Melville did not. Melville was primarily a novelist while Thoreau’s prose works were …

Lipid Mobilization In Beef And Rabbits As Affected By Marketing-Induced Stress Or Acth-Induced Stress, John R. Romans

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The effect of stress on intramuscular and plasma lipids was studied in rabbits and beef. Nine mature rabbits were subjected to a constant infusion of ACTH (1.5 mU./min./kg.).

Blood samples taken at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours or immediately upon death if it occurred before 12 hours. Initial and final muscle biopsies were taken from the longissimus dorsi directly posterior to the 13th rib on right and left sides, respectively. The stress …


A Study Of Selected Demographic Factors Associated With Population Change In Incorporated Rural Communities Of South Dakota, James R. Stewart Jan 1967

A Study Of Selected Demographic Factors Associated With Population Change In Incorporated Rural Communities Of South Dakota, James R. Stewart

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The United States Census Bureau usually divides the population of any large geographical area into three broad categories – urban, rural farm and rural non-farm. Demographers have performed much investigation in the former two areas; however, the research relative to the rural non-farm population segment lacks the intensity that characterizes investigations of the urban and rural farm populations. Recently, there has been an awareness of this fact and the North Central Regional Committee on Community Adjustment to Social Change has initiated a large scale investigation of the changes and adjustments that are taking place within the communities of the region. …
