Understanding Corn Yield Potential And Optimal Soil Productivity In Irrigated Corn Systems, A. Dobermann, Timothy J. Arkebauer, Kenneth G. Cassman, John L. Lindquist, Daniel T. Walters, Haishun Yang, Brigid Amos, Darren L. Binder, Gregory J. Teichmeier

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In 1999, a field experiment was established to (I) quantify and understand the yield potential of corn and soybean under irrigated conditions, (2) identify efficient crop management practices to achieve yields that approach potential levels, and (3) determine the energy use efficiency, global warming and soil C-sequestration potential of intensively managed corn systems. The experiment compares systems that represent different levels of management intensity expressed as combinations of crop rotation (continuous corn, corn-soybean), plant density (low. medium. high) and nutrient management (recommended best management vs. intensive management). Detailed measurements include soil nutrient dynamics and C balance, crop growth and development, …

Effect Of Corn Processing On Starch Digestion And Bacterial Crude Protein Flow In Finishing Cattle, R. J. Cooper, C. T. Milton, Terry J. Klopfenstein, T. L. Scott, C. B. Wilson, R. A. Mass

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Six ruminally and duodenally cannulated yearling steers (523 kg) were used in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square design experiment to study the effects of corn processing on nutrient digestion, bacterial CP production, and ruminal fermentation. Dietary treatments consisted of 90% concentrate diets that were based on dry-rolled (DRC), high-moisture (HMC), or steam-flaked (SFC) corn. Each diet contained 2.0% urea (DM basis) as the sole source of supplemental nitrogen. Each period lasted 17 d, with d 1 through 14 for diet adaptation and d 15 through 17 for fecal, duodenal, and ruminal sampling. Dry matter and OM intakes were …

Fiber-Type Composition Of Muscles Of The Beef Chuck And Round, K. S. Kirchofer, Chris R. Calkins, B. L. Gwartney

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Thirty-eight muscles of the beef chuck and round were histochemically stained to characterize fiber-type composition in order to facilitate optimal muscle use in value-added products. Select-grade chucks and rounds (n = 4 each) were chosen to represent two carcass weight classes (250 to 295 kg and 363 to 410 kg) and two yield grades (1 and 3). Muscles were sectioned and stained with a procedure that included a succinate dehydrogenase and an adenosine triphosphatase staining technique. Number and diameter of β-red, α-red, and α-white muscle fibers were used to determine muscle fiber percentage, muscle fiber area, and percent area in …

A Description Of The Growth Of Sheep And Its Genetic Analysis, R. M. Lewis, G. C. Emmans, G. Simm

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

The Gompertz is one of a family of growth functions that, when the environment [eg.food, housing) is nonlimiting, provides a useful description of growth as a comparatively simple, single equation. It has three parameters of which the important ones are mature size, A, and the rate parameter, B. Estimates of A and B, however, are highly correlated and defining their separate values for individual animals is problematic. This problem was explored using five methods for estimating the parometers, or transformations ofthem, to describe the growth oftwo genotypes of Suffolk sheep kept under non-limiting conditions. 0 ne genotype was under selection …

Effects Of Breed And Family On Rate Of Copper Accretion In The Liver Of Purebred Charollais, Suffolk And Texel Lambs, N. F. Shuttle, R. M. Lewis, J. Small

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

The feeding of housed lambs on conserved forages and pelleted rations is accompanied by a high risk of chronic cpper (Cu) poisoning (CCP) which might be reduced by seleting sires for low liver Cu status. Livers were therefore retrieved from Suffolk, Texel and Charollais lambs, slaughtered during the course of a performance trial, to ascertain sire and possibly breed effects on the rate of Cu accretion in the liver. In total, 160 livers were obtained, 100 from Suffolk, 40 from Texel and 20 from Charollais lambs, the progeny of 14, eight and eight sires, respectively. Lambs came from three separately …

Effects Of Index Selection On The Carcass Composition Of Sheep Given Either Ad Libitum Or Controlled Amounts Of Food, R. M. Lewis, G. C. Emmans, G. Simm

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Sheep of a line (S) selected on an index to increase lean weight and decrease fatness at an age, and a control line (C), were given a high quality food at different levels including ad libitum. Live performance was measured from about 21 to 114 kg live weight, The carcasses of each line were analysed for lean, fat and bone at three widely varying weights in both males and females. Level of feeding did not affect the extent to which S was superior to C in either the level of fatness in the carcass (0·86 as much) or the ratio …

G02-1476 Prairie Dogs And Their Control, Scott E. Hygnstrom, Dallas Virchow, John Hobbs

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Black-tailed prairie dogs are stocky, burrowing rodents that are members of the squirrel family. They are the only species of prairie dog native to Nebraska and they live across the western three-fourths of the state. They cause problems, however, when they conflict with livestock ranching and other land uses, or cause a threat to human health and safety.

This NebGuide provides information on the life history and legal status of black-tailed prairie dogs and prevention and control of the damage they can cause.

G02-1482 Guidelines For A Non-Fasting Feeding Program For The Molting Of Laying Hens, Sheila E. Scheideler, Mary M. Beck

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Laying hens are molted at the end of one laying cycle (i.e. one year) to induce a cessation of lay and rejuvenation of the reproductive tract and skeleton for a second cycle of egg production. This is based on the natural molting process that wild birds undergo annually and traditionally it has been induced by fasting the hens for a short period of time. This NebGuide offers guidance on non-fasting feeding program for the molting of laying hens.
