The Effect Of Straw On The Behaviour Of Sows In Tether Stalls, D. Fraser
The Effect Of Straw On The Behaviour Of Sows In Tether Stalls, D. Fraser
Housing and Confinement of Farm Animals Collection
The behaviour of sows in tether stalls with and without straw was studied in two experiments. Sows lay down more when 1 kg of straw was provided daily, especially when it was chopped and mixed wet with the food (dietary effect). Sows without straw performed a variety of stereotyped oral and other activities which were greatly reduced by the provision of loose straw that could be chewed and manipulated throughout the day (recreational effect). Sows were frequently seen standing or sitting motionless with the head drooping, probably in a state of drowsiness. This behaviour was virtually eliminated by full straw …

Pesticide Regulation And The Farm Worker, R. Craig Loveless
Pesticide Regulation And The Farm Worker, R. Craig Loveless
IUSTITIA
It has long been recognized that many pesticide products offer a potential hazard, which if unregulated, may result in injury or death. The development of highly toxic pesticides during the last decade has created a need for stricter regulation of pesticide use in the agricultural community. Specifically, the farm worker of today is in need of legislative protection from exposure to deadly chemical agents now being used to control pests and disease in the fields and orchards. Regulating the handling and use of these dangerous pesticides is but one way to protect the farmer, the farm worker, and the environment. …

A Rate/Cost Analysis Of Nebraska Meat Trucking Activities With Livestock Trucking Cost Comparisons, Dale G. Anderson, Wayne W. Budt
A Rate/Cost Analysis Of Nebraska Meat Trucking Activities With Livestock Trucking Cost Comparisons, Dale G. Anderson, Wayne W. Budt
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This study was designed to measure costs of long-distance shipment of meat by motor carrier. Costs were compared with published rates for meat shipments by truck, rail and trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC). Finally, meat trucking costs were compared with costs of trucking meat-equivalent amounts of livestock. Results of the study provide a partial basis for evaluating the economic merits of expanded livestock production activities in grain-surplus Great Plains locations. Such an expansion might aid in the economic development of the region and ease the chronic problem of rail freight-car supply. Proposals ranging from extension of present regulation to cover livestock trucking to …

Social Stress And Welfare Problems In Agricultural Animals, D. G. M. Wood-Gush, I. J. H. Duncan, D. Fraser
Social Stress And Welfare Problems In Agricultural Animals, D. G. M. Wood-Gush, I. J. H. Duncan, D. Fraser
Farm Animal Welfare Collection
Disruptions of an animal's social behaviour can, in some respects at least, mimic the effects of such classical stressors as infection and exposure to low temperatures. For example, Barnett (1958) found enlarged adrenals among wild rats which were subjected to attack by other rats in the laboratory. However, the experience of being attacked was not necessary for this physiological response, as the aggressors showed much the same changes as the victims. In fact Archer (1969) reported heightened adrenocortical activity among individually caged mice simply as a result of their being housed next to other mice, without actual physical contact. If …
Property Taxes .. Reform, Relief, Repeal ?
Property Taxes .. Reform, Relief, Repeal ?
Department of Agricultural Economics: Presentations, Working Papers, and Gray Literature
The property tax is one of the oldest and most criticized forms of taxation. Despite criticism over the years, it is still an important source of revenue for most local governments and some state governments because of its income capability and familiarity in the tax system. Efforts to reform property tax administration, provide tax relief to property owners, and repeal property taxes on certain classes of property will continue for years to come. This publication is designed to place these issues in a decision-making framework. The purpose is to educate rather than to advocate a particular solution.
