G77-363 Vitamin Requirements Of Beef Cattle, Paul Q. Guyer
G77-363 Vitamin Requirements Of Beef Cattle, Paul Q. Guyer
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Vitamins are organic substances that are required in very small quantities for various metabolic functions. Twenty-five to 30 have been identified, but cattle can synthesize all that are needed of these vitamins in the rumen except for two or three. Even though the supplemental amounts needed of these two or three vitamins (A and possibly D and E) are quite small, a deficiency can have a drastic effect on the animal. The NebGuide discusses these effects.
G77-331 Sampling Feeds For Analyses, Bruce Anderson, Terry L. Mader, Rick Grant
G77-331 Sampling Feeds For Analyses, Bruce Anderson, Terry L. Mader, Rick Grant
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Sampling is the key to accurate feed analyses and properly balancing livestock rations. Here's how to do it.
Accurate feed analyses are needed to balance livestock rations, correctly price hay, formulate least cost supplements, and efficiently allocate homegrown feeds to the proper class of livestock. Sampling is the most important factor affecting accuracy of feed analyses.
The feed value of most forages varies. Therefore, test forages routinely to determine their best and most economical use. With adequate forage testing, you can develop an accurate forage inventory which allows you to efficiently allocate higher quality forage to high-producing livestock and poorer …

Heg77-73 Wall Finishes, Magdalene Pfister
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses interior wall treatments: paint, wallpaper and fabric.
Paint is an easy, quick and inexpensive way to get the color you want. If you have a particular color in mind, you are most likely to find it in paint or have it mixed for the desired shade.
Wallpaper and other flexible coverings offer a wide variety of color, patterns and textures, It is possible to find a paper to go with any style of furnishings, formal or informal, in a wide price range. Some patterns are coordinated with fabric.
There are fabrics made especially for wall coverings which …
G77-355 A Guide For The Control Of Flies In Nebraska Feedlots And Dairies (Revised March 1990), John B. Campbell
G77-355 A Guide For The Control Of Flies In Nebraska Feedlots And Dairies (Revised March 1990), John B. Campbell
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Flies, especially stable and house flies, can create serious and costly problems for feedlot and dairy operations. This publication describes several methods for control.
Several species of flies may be in confined livestock facilities during summer. The stable and house fly are the most serious pests. Blow flies also may be present if molasses is in the diet. Horn flies--small blood-feeding flies--may be present in early spring. These flies overwinter as pupae in or near manure pats in range or pasture. If cattle are not present in the grassland when horn flies emerge, they will migrate to confinement cattle. Normally, …
G77-361 Using Starter Fertilizers For Corn, Grain Sorghum, And Soybeans, Edwin J. Penas, Gary W. Hergert
G77-361 Using Starter Fertilizers For Corn, Grain Sorghum, And Soybeans, Edwin J. Penas, Gary W. Hergert
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Starter fertilizer may increase early growth of corn and grain sorghum. Grain yield increases from starter nutrients are most likely on low phosphorus soils and some sandy soils.
Proper use of a starter fertilizer is an important management tool for crop producers striving for top yields. While the use of a starter fertilizer can be important for crop production on many soils, it is more important for corn production on irrigated sandy soils than on fine textured soils.
G77-382 Right Crop Stage For Herbicide Use Corn, Sorghum, Small Grains (Revised May 1992), Drew J. Lyon, Robert G. Wilson Jr., Alex Martin
G77-382 Right Crop Stage For Herbicide Use Corn, Sorghum, Small Grains (Revised May 1992), Drew J. Lyon, Robert G. Wilson Jr., Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Herbicides recommended for postemergence application in corn, sorghum, and small grains are discussed in this NebGuide. Proper timing of postemergence herbicides is essential to achieve maximum weed control and minimum crop injury. As field crops grow and mature, their tolerance to herbicides changes. As a general rule, annual and biennial weeds are more susceptible to postemergence herbicides when they are in the seedling stage. As they mature they become increasingly difficult to control, facing the grower with the problem of when to apply the herbicide to achieve the least crop injury and the most satisfactory weed control. Field crops differ …
G77-342 Sowbugs And Pillbugs, Arthur F. Hagen
G77-342 Sowbugs And Pillbugs, Arthur F. Hagen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication covers the identification, life history, and control of sowbugs and pillbugs.
Homeowners working around shrubs, in the garden, or along the foundation of the house, frequently find little grayish colored bugs. They often describe them as looking like "little armadillos." What they are finding are sowbugs or pillbugs or both. These creatures are not insects, but belong to the same class of animals as crabs and shrimp.
G77-386 Wheat In Poultry Rations, T.W. Sullivan, E.W. Gleaves
G77-386 Wheat In Poultry Rations, T.W. Sullivan, E.W. Gleaves
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication examines the advantages and disadvantages of wheat as a component of poultry feed.
Wheat is usually considered a source of human food rather than an ingredient for poultry and livestock feeds. This is especially true in the United States, where corn, milo and other feed grains are abundantly produced. In recent years one of every two bushels of wheat produced in the United States has been exported. If world production and supplies of wheat are high, a surplus develops and wheat prices are lowered. When this situation occurs wheat becomes an attractive alternative to corn or milo in …
G77-383 Marketing Your Timber, Mark Shasby, Neal E. Jennings
G77-383 Marketing Your Timber, Mark Shasby, Neal E. Jennings
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Marketing is the key to getting the most from your timber.
Buying and selling trees is a business transaction. Marketing is the key to getting the most for your timber. Anyone can sell something if they are not concerned about the price received. When you market something, you are selling in a competitive market for the best possible price.
A satisfactory sale occurs when the needs of both buyer and seller are met. The buyer must acquire material at current market prices in order to stay in business and still remain competitive. The timber owner should be paid the fair …
Ec77-122 Wheat Kernel Damage, Kim Anderson
Ec77-122 Wheat Kernel Damage, Kim Anderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
There are eight classes of wheat: Durum wheat, Hard Red Spring wheat, Hard Red Winter wheat, Soft Red Winter wheat, Hard White wheat, Soft White wheat, Unclassed wheat, and Mixed wheat.
This publication discusses the principal wheat kernel damage: germ (sick and mold); heat; black tip fungus; blight or scab; green (immature), sprout, insect and insect chewed; frost (blistered, candied, flaked, and discolored black or brown). It also discusses special grades: infested, ergoty, garlicky, light smutty; smutty, treated, dockage, shrunken and broken kernels, foreign material, and test weight per bushel.
G77-340 Scheduling Irrigation By Electrical Resistance Blocks, Paul E. Fischbach
G77-340 Scheduling Irrigation By Electrical Resistance Blocks, Paul E. Fischbach
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Delay of irrigation for a few days during a critical part of the growing season can be expensive. A week's delay in supplying irrigation water to corn or grain sorghum can reduce potential yield more than 30 bushels per acre.
Several methods are available to help you schedule the right amount of water at the right time. One of these methods uses electrical resistance blocks discussed in this NebGuide.
G77-360 Balancing Corn Silage Dairy Rations, Foster G. Owen
G77-360 Balancing Corn Silage Dairy Rations, Foster G. Owen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The grain required to balance a ration high in corn silage is much different from the grain needed when feeding high amounts of alfalfa hay. The most common problem is failure to properly balance for protein and calcium. This NebGuide discusses the points to take into account in balancing rations high in corn silage.
