Glover's Silkmoth, Hyalophora Gloveri (Strecker) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), New To British Columbia, R. A. Cannings, C. S. Guppy Sep 1989

Glover's Silkmoth, Hyalophora Gloveri (Strecker) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), New To British Columbia, R. A. Cannings, C. S. Guppy

Aspen Bibliography

Two rather common species of giant silkrnoths of the subfamily Satumiinae (Lepidoptera: Satumiidae) occur in southern British Columbia. Both species, the Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus [Cramer]) and the Ceanothus Silkrnoth (Hyalophora euryalis [Bois-duvall) are large and spectacular, and evoke comment from anyone who sees them. Both range northwards to at least the central Cariboo region. Three other striking species of the subfamily occur in the Peace River district of Alberta, but these moths, the Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia [Linnaeus]), the Columbia Silkmoth (H. columbia [S.L Smith]), and Glover's Silkrnoth (H. gloveri [Strecker l) have never …

Forage Quality In Burned And Unburned Aspen Communities, N.V. Debyle, P.J. Urness, D.L. Blank Jun 1989

Forage Quality In Burned And Unburned Aspen Communities, N.V. Debyle, P.J. Urness, D.L. Blank

Aspen Bibliography

We assessed the effects of fire on the quality of herbaceous and browse forage for elk (Gervus e/aphus) and domestic sheep in the aspen (Populus tremu/oides) forest type. Selected forage species were sampled on burned and adjacent unburned areas during the summers of the first and second years after autumn prescribed burning of three sites in southeastern Idaho. These samples were analyzed for in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), crude protein, calcium, and phosphorus. This aspen type has a highly nutritious understory irrespective of burning. We found additional improvement in forage quality as a result of prescribed burning. In the …

Nisin Inhibits Several Grampositivemastitis-Causing Pathogens, Jeff Broadbent, Y. C. Chou, K. Gillies, J. K. Kondo

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

Organisms known to cause bovine mastitis, Enterococcus faecalis ssp. liquefaciens ATCC 27959, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29740, Streptococcus agalactiae ATCC 27956, Streptococcus equinus ATCC 27960, Streptococcus dysgalactiae ATCC 27957, Streptococcus uberis ATCC 27958, and the neotype Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990 were examined for their susceptibility to die small peptide antibiotic, nisin. Using a disc assay, minimum inhibitory concentrations of nisin ranged from 10 to 250 μg/ml among the strains. Examination of die antimicrobial effect of 50 μg/ml nisin in milk showed nisin inhibited all gram-positive pathogens tested.

Wildlife Damage Management (Wdm) In The Southern Utah Adc District, United States Department Of Agriculture, Animal And Plant Health Inspection Service, Animal Damage Control

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

Across the United States, wildlife habitat has been substantially changed as human populations expand and land is used for human needs. These human uses and needs often compete with wildlife which increases the potential for conflicting human/wildlife interactions. In addition, segments of the public strive for protection for all wildlife; this protection can create localized conflicts between human and wildlife activities.

U.S. Grazing Lands: 1950-8, Arthur B. Daugherty, United States Department Of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Jan 1989

U.S. Grazing Lands: 1950-8, Arthur B. Daugherty, United States Department Of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

U.S. livestock owners grazed their herds on 817 million acres in 1982, down about 20 percent from 1950. This drop resulted primarily from improved productivity of grazing lands, as animal units of cattle and sheep increased more than 30 percent during 1950-82. Only the Southern Plains, of all farm production regions, showed an increase in land grazed during 1950-82. Non-Federal grazing land consisted of rangeland (67 percent), pastureland (21 percent), and grazed forest (12 percent). More than 30 percent of the non-Federal range and pasture was rated in good to excellent condition, and 12 percent of the grazed forest had …

Evaluating Growth And Maternal Traits Of Beef Cattle, Nyle J. Matthews

Archived Agriculture Publications

For many years we evaluated cattle only on the basis of visual appraisal. Some people had a very good eye for cattle, but at best, eyeball evaluation was guess work. Many important traits, such as soundness, still require visual assessment.
