Ec98-746 Farm*A*Syst Nebraska's System For Assessing Water Contamination Risk: Introduction, Robert Grisso, Delynn Hay, Paul J. Jasa, Richard K. Koelsch, Sharon Skipton, Wayne Woldt
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Groundwater provides nearly all the water for domestic use in rural Nebraska. It’s essential that the quality of our groundwater, along with that of our surface water resources, be protected. It is especially important to protect the drinking water supply on any homesites where a private domestic well is used. The risk to water quality of various activities at homesites and on surrounding lands varies. Identifying high-risk activities can help determine where to use limited financial and management resources. By increasing knowledge and using careful management, you can greatly reduce the risk of water contamination, often with little or no …

G98-1378 Testing Nebraska's Young Children For Lead, Carroll S. Welte
G98-1378 Testing Nebraska's Young Children For Lead, Carroll S. Welte
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses why young children in Nebraska should be tested for lead poisoning. It explains sources of lead and ways parents can reduce children's exposure to lead.
Introduction
Lead, a poison that affects virtually every system in the body, is a health issue for parents and caretakers of Nebraska children 6 years old and younger. Small amounts of lead in the body can do serious harm to the developing brain and nervous system of a young child. The risks associated with lead exposure are not assumed or based on laboratory animals, but documented from the studies of children themselves. …
G98-1350 Basics Of Feeding Horses: What To Feed And Why, Kathleen P. Anderson
G98-1350 Basics Of Feeding Horses: What To Feed And Why, Kathleen P. Anderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the horse's digestive system and appropriate feeding procedures.
Because of the horse's eating habits and digestive system, feeding practices common to other species of livestock often result in severe digestive dysfunction or even death for the horse. In fact, several anatomical peculiarities of the horse's digestive tract predispose horses to digestive disorders such as colic and laminitis even under the best management. Under poor feeding management, the onset of these disorders is almost assured. The objective of feeding management is to provide a ration with balanced nutrition that both maximizes nutrient utilization while minimizing the occurrence of …
G98-1360 Drinking Water: Copper, Sharon Skipton, Delynn Hay
G98-1360 Drinking Water: Copper, Sharon Skipton, Delynn Hay
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Too much copper in the human body can cause stomach and intestinal distress such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. This NebGuide discusses how to determine if copper is in a domestic water supply and options that can be taken to reduce the copper in water. Copper rarely occurs naturally in water. Most copper contamination in drinking water happens in the water delivery system, as a result of corrosion of the copper pipes or fittings. Copper piping and fittings are widely used in household plumbing.
