Effects Of Water Quality On Performance And Health Of Growing Steers, Hubert H. Patterson, Patricia S. Johnson, Doug B. Young, Ronald Haigh

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

Water available to livestock in western South Dakota is often high in total dissolved solids (TDS) and sulfates. Eighty-one crossbred, yearling steers (700 lb) were used to determine the effects of TDS and/or sulfates in water on cattle performance and health. Cattle were stratified by weight and randomly assigned to one of 12 pens (6-7 steers/pen). Pens were randomly assigned to one of four treatments (three pens/treatment) based on supplied water: 1) rural water (RW; 1,019 ppm TDS; 404 ppm sulfates, 2) well water (WW; 4,835 ppm TDS; 3,087 ppm sulfates), 3) dam water (DW; 6,191 ppm TDS; 3,947 ppm …

A Ccwhc Technical Bulletin: Drug Residues In Wild Meat – Addressing A Public Health Concern, Marc Cattet

Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre: Newsletters and Publications

Veterinary drugs play a valuable role in wildlife management and research. They are used widely for a variety of reasons, in particular, the capture and restraint of wild animals (Table 1). However, the availability and use of veterinary drugs is threatened if government regulations or the public trust are violated. Drug residues in wildlife are an important public health concern, especially for those who consume wild meat. Although the likelihood of consuming meat from a wild animal administered drug shortly before death is small, wildlife personnel (conservation officers, park wardens, biologists, veterinarians, etc.) are still confronted from time to time …

Effects Of Diets Containing Soybean Hulls Or Rolled Corn On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Received Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of soybean hulls as an energy source for newly received feeder calves and their effects on ADG, DMI, gain/feed (G/F), morbidity rate and mineral status. Steers from a single source were blocked into previously weaned (PW; n = 63; BW = 265 ± 2.9 kg) and non-weaned (NW; n = 92; BW = 264 ± 2.4 kg) groups, then allotted to one of two dietary treatment groups. Diets consisted of either rolled corn (CRN) or soybean hulls (SBH), and oat silage and vitamin/mineral supplements. Liver biopsies and blood samples were …

Painting Lighting And Viewing Effects, Cindy Grimm

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

We present a system for painting how the appearance of an object changes under different lighting and viewing conditions. The user paints what the object should look like under different lighting conditions (dark, partially dark, fully lit, etc.) and (optionally) different viewing angles. The system renders the object under new lighting conditions and a new viewing angle by combining these paintings. We also provide a technique for constructing texture maps directly from the user’s paintings.

Les Abbesses Et La Parole Au Dix-Septième Siècle: Les Discours Monastiques À La Lumière Des Interdictions Pauliniennes, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

One tends to take for granted that in women’s monasteries the only voices raised were those of its masculine directors and preachers. However, while sermons by priests were generally reserved for Sundays and feast days, the abbesses addressed their communities several times a week or even daily. Although the Pauline prohibitions restricted women from speaking on religious topics in public or to mixed groups, within the walls of the convent that was assimilated to the private domain of a household, abbesses exhorted, instructed and rebuked their nuns at chapter meetings or during recreation sessions. Many such talks might have been …

Vinpocetine For Cognitive Impairment And Dementia, Peter J. Whitehouse

Faculty Scholarship

Background: Vinpocetine is a synthetic ethyl ester of apovincamine, a vinca alkaloid obtained from the leaves of the Lesser Periwinkle (Vinca minor) and discovered in the late 1960s. Although used in human treatment for over twenty years, it has not been approved by any regulatory body for the treatment of cognitive impairment. Basic sciences studies have been used to claim a variety of potentially important effects in the brain. However, despite these many proposed mechanisms and targets, the relevance of this basic science to clinical studies is unclear. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of vinpocetine in the treatment …

The Effects Of Trace Mineral Inclusion Management On The Performance And Mineral Status Of Newly Recwived Feeder Calves, Howard M. Blalock, Robbi H. Pritchard, William Epperson

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of trace mineral inclusion management on the performance and mineral status of newly received feeder calves. Steers from 2 pastures at a single ranch in Western South Dakota blocked into non-implanted (NI; n = 64; BW = 240 kg), May implanted (MI; n = 64; BW 252 kg;) and August implanted (AI; n = 66; BW = 248 kg;) groups, then allotted to one of two treatment groups. Treatments consisted of either: a pelleted supplement fed at a fixed amount to meet the gram / daily requirement (GDR) of Cu …

Feeding Value Of Rolled And Whole Shelled Waxy Corn In Finishing Diets, Robbi H. Pritchard, Kelly W. Bruns

South Dakota Beef Report, 2003

Waxy corn in rolled or whole shelled form was compared with rolled normal corn in finishing diets for cattle. Steers (n = 144; initial BW = 765 lb) were allocated to 18 pens and fed these three grain types in a 123 d experiment. The waxy corn was a sole source grain that tested >99% pure waxy endosperm. The normal rolled was acquired as needed through a commercial elevator. Diets contained 78% grain as NR) normal rolled; WR) waxy rolled; or WW) waxy whole grain. Diet had no effect on DMI and there were no differences for production variables between …

An Economic Assessment Of The Potential For Predator Management To Benefit Puerto Rican Parrots, Richard M. Engeman, Stephanie A. Shwiff, Felipe Cano, Bernice Constantin

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The Puerto Rican parrot is one of the ten most endangered birds in the world, with the only wild population comprised of 30-40 birds. Predation has been identified as one of the factors limiting Puerto Rican parrot productivity in the wild, and the loss of a very few birds can have a great impact on the species. Management of red-tailed hawks, and black rats, feral cats and Indian mongooses, as well as further management of pearly-eyed thrashers is potentially beneficial to the parrot population. Because funding for the recovery of this rare species is finite, an analytical examination of the …

Prevalence And Economic Value Of Feral Swine Damage To Native Habitat In Three Florida State Parks, Richard M. Engeman, Henry T. Smith, Stephanie A. Shwiff, Bernice Constantin, John Woolard, Mark Nelson, Daniel Griffin

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Feral swine (Sus scrofa) adversely affect the environment in many of the places where they have been introduced. Such is the case in Florida, but quantification and economic evaluation of the damage can provide objective bases for developing strategies to protect habitats. Swine damage to native wet pine-flatwoods at three state parks in Florida was monitored from winter 2002 to winter 2003. Economic valuations of damage were based on the US dollar amounts that wetland regulators have allowed permit applicants to spend in attempts to replace lost resources. The parks had different swine management histories and the damage …

Wing-Assisted Incline Running And The Evolution Of Flight, Kenneth P. Dial

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Flapping wings of galliform birds are routinely used to produce aerodynamic forces oriented toward the substrate to enhance hindlimb traction. Here, I document this behavior in natural and laboratory settings. Adult birds fully capable of aerial flight preferentially employ wing-assisted incline running (WAIR), rather than flying, to reach elevated refuges (such as cliffs, trees, and boulders). From the day of hatching and before attaining sustained aerial flight, developing ground birds use WAIR to enhance their locomotor performance through improved foot traction, ultimately permitting vertical running. WAIR provides insight from behaviors observable in living birds into the possible role of incipient …
