Four local cooperatives have agreed to purchase the elevator at Wentworth, South Dakota, and form a federated cooperative at Wentworth. The Wentworth facility consists of two separate elevators. The main elevator is located on the former Milwaukee Road branchline from Sioux Falls Junction to Madison. The elevator and two annexes have a capacity of approximately 120,000 bushels. A warehouse and frame quonset add approximately 150,000 bushels of storage capacity. A separate office building and truck scale are at the site. The west elevator is a smaller facility with about 53,000 bushels of storage capacity. It is located threeblockswest of the …

Alfalfa Seed Production, Lyle A. Derscheid, Robert J. Walstrom
Alfalfa Seed Production, Lyle A. Derscheid, Robert J. Walstrom
SDSU Extension Circulars
Alfalfa seed has high market value: producing certified adapted seed can become a more important enterprise for some South Dakota farmers. Around 100,000 acres are harvested for seed each year, but tho yield per acre is relatively low. Most producers harvest seed on a hit-and-miss basis. Only a few treat alfalfa seed as a major crop. Much of the alfalfa seed planted in South Dakota is raised in southern Idaho, eastern Oregon, southeastern Washington, and the San Joaquin Valley of California. But the acreage of certified seed of varieties recommended for South Dakota is gradually shrinking in western states. These …

Preservative Effects Of Covering And Propionic Acid On Alfalfa Haylage In Bunker Silos, Thomas Jonathan Oelberg
Preservative Effects Of Covering And Propionic Acid On Alfalfa Haylage In Bunker Silos, Thomas Jonathan Oelberg
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The preservation efficiency of covering alfalfa haylage with black plastic (polyethylene) and/or treating haylage with propionic acid was studied in two trials. Experiment 1 was designed to evaluate the influence of both covering and treatment with propionic acid on haylage chemical composition and heifer growth. In experiment 1, prop ionic acid was administered to the haylage at the chopper at 0.02% of the fresh forage weight. Chemical composition and ensiling temperature of the haylage were monitored and animal growth was measured with 16 Holstein heifers. Covered haylage was superior to treated haylage in quality as measured by chemical analyses and …
Studies On Beneficial And Adverse Effects Of Dietary Buffers For Lambs, Jong Kyu Ha
Studies On Beneficial And Adverse Effects Of Dietary Buffers For Lambs, Jong Kyu Ha
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Experiments using lambs were conducted to study the effects of buffers or roughages against acidosis occurring during rapid dietary changes. Experiments using rats were conducted to investigate vitamin A and thiamin stability and/or utilization as influenced by bentonite. Incubating rumen fluid in vitro at a pH lower than 6 reduced volatile fatty acid (VFA) production and increased lactate accumulation. Limestone or bentonite at levels of 2% in 92% concentrate diets had little effect on feed intake or rumen and blood parameters during a 7-day treatment period using rumen-canulated sheep. However, 2% NaHCO3 increased rumen pH and feed intake on …
Lactase Activity In Steers Fed Large Amounts Of Dried Whey, Kenneth J. King
Lactase Activity In Steers Fed Large Amounts Of Dried Whey, Kenneth J. King
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Large amounts of dried whole whey (86% of concentrate mix, 60% of total dry matter intake) were fed to four Holstein steers in place of corn and soybean meal in the control diet to evaluate the extent and site of lactose digestion in the ruminant's digestive tract. Diets consisted of 70% of the dry matter as concentrate mix and 30% as corn silage fed ad libitum as a total mixed ration. Weight gains and dry matter intakes were similar for steers fed dried whole whey or control diets. Samples of rumen contents from steers fed dried whole whey contained more …
The Effects Of Rancid Milk On Cheddar Cheese, Shane Thomas Mcdonald
The Effects Of Rancid Milk On Cheddar Cheese, Shane Thomas Mcdonald
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
One of the most serious defects .of fluid milk is hydrolytic rancidity. Although not a new problem, recent practices in the dairy industry have increased its incidence. On the farm, the use of pipeline milking and transferring systems, in conjunction with bulk cooling and storage, involves excessive agitation and foaming of the raw milk. Both agitation and foaming enhance the development of rancidity. Additional agitation occurs when milk is pumped into storage silos, and pumped about the plant f or processing. Dairy processing facilities are becoming more centralized. Hence, raw milk must be transported longer distances to the dairy plants. …
Hydrolyzed-Lactose Whey And Nonfat Dry Milk In Ice Cream, Mohammed Serajul Islam
Hydrolyzed-Lactose Whey And Nonfat Dry Milk In Ice Cream, Mohammed Serajul Islam
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Sweet dry whey was used to replace 25% and 50% of nonfat dry milk solids in ice cream mix. Forty-five batches experimental and control lots of vanilla ice cream were manufactured. A commercial lactase was used to hydrolyze lactose to over 90% conversion and the lactase was inactivated after hydrolysis. The extent of lactose hydrolysis in the mix was adjusted to 50% or 75% by blending non-hydrolyzed nonfat dry milk and whey solids with hydrolyzed preparations. Extra sweetness of the conversion products permitted reduction of sucrose by 6.25% and 12.5%, respectively, in the 50% and 75% hydrolyzed lactose ice cream …
Dye Marking Of Antibiotics Used In Treatment Of Mastitis, Nancy Fairbank Novak
Dye Marking Of Antibiotics Used In Treatment Of Mastitis, Nancy Fairbank Novak
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The National Mastitis Council, Inc. defines mastitis as the infection of udder tissues (74). Mastitis is the most costly disease affecting dairy cows; many people do not realize the considerable losses due to mastitis (6). A reasonable estimate of the prevalence of mastitis is 50% of cows infected at any time (62); cows in the average herd contract clinical mastitis 1.5 times per year (74). The minimum antibiotic treatments per case of mastitis is two; with approximately 11 million dairy cows in the United States, the annual minimum number of antibiotic treatments is 33 million. In South Dakota, with nearly …
