Feeding Minerals To Livestock Important, Lawrence B. Embry

Agricultural Experiment Station Animal Husbandry Pamphlets

Minerals have many important functions in the body and their needs in livestock rations have been known for many years. Bone and teeth are composed chiefly of minerals which are necessary for their proper growth and development. In addition to these functions, minerals are necessary constituents of soft tissue and body fluids and play important roles in the regulation of body processes. In spite of the known need for minerals for a long time, much remains to be learned about specific requirements, mineral content of feeds, mineral balances and factors affecting these. It is recognized that the requirements of an …

Polyvinyl Alcohol-Fixative-Adhesive For Small Helminths And Protozoa, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Following the method of Brooke and Goldman (1949), the author was able to fix, mount and stain small helminths and parasitic protozoa of fish in polyvinyl alcohol-fixative smears. However, because there was much granular material in the PVA-Schaudin's mixture, AFA fixative was substituted for the Schaudin's. The PVA went into solution readily using this fixative. The solution was accomplished by adding 5 grams Elvanol #71-30¹ to 62 ml. of water, heating to 950 C. until dissolved and adding 5 ml. of acetic acid, 1-1/2 ml. of glycerine, 10 ml. of formaldehyde, and 30 ml. of 95 percent alcohol.

He also reared the metacercaria to the adult in young domestic ducks. Lyster (1940; Canadian Journal of Research 18D: 79-82) reported …

Waterfowl Of North Dakota, Paul A. Johnsgard

Papers in Ornithology

North Dakota is a great waterfowl state. Within its borders more ducks nest every summer than in any other state. Each fall thousands of hunters share in the excellent duck and goose hunting, and every school child is aware of the immense flocks of migrating waterfowl that are such a common sight. This booklet was written not only to serve as a guide in identifying these birds, but also to point out something of their habits and importance.

Depositor's note (June 2008): Paul seemed delighted when I presented him the source copy of this little pamphlet, which I had found …

A Comparison Of Formulae In The Manufacture Of Ice Milk, Glen Wilford Sargent

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Ice milk is not a new product in the ice cream industry. Rather it is one that has gained only little popularity, except in the preparation of "malts" and "milk shakes"; however, within the last decade the gallonage of ice milk produced has more than doubled.

Ice milk has been relatively unimportant because of the difficulty of obtaining a product with acceptable quality. In recent years progressive ice milk manufacturers and research workers have discovered new ingredients and processing procedure that seem to produce favorable results.

This low-fat product has several merits that justify its recent popularity, such as low …
