Research Data Sets

North American Porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) have a broad geographic distribution across much of the continent, but recent evidence suggests that their populations may be declining in some areas, including the Pacific Northwest. Estimating baseline historical and contemporary distributions of Porcupines is necessary for initiating monitoring efforts and, if necessary, informing strategic conservation actions. We compiled 1905 occurrence records of Porcupines in Washington, Oregon, and northern California from 1908 to 2018. Using maximum entropy modeling (Maxent), we created historical and contemporary distribution models based on Porcupine records from 1981–2010 and 2012–2018, respectively, to match the temporal scale of available …

G. R. Murugesan

Extensive research over the last couple of decades has made it obvious that mycotoxins are commonly prevalent in majority of feed ingredients. A worldwide mycotoxin survey in 2013 revealed 81 % of around 3,000 grain and feed samples analyzed had at least one mycotoxin which was higher than the ten-year average (from 2004 to 2013) of 76% in a total of 25,944 samples. The considerable increase in the number of positive samples in 2013 may be due to the improvements in detection methods and their sensitivity. The recently developed liquid chromatography coupled to (tandem) mass spectrometry allows the inclusion of …


The Taxonomical Status Of The Rumen Ciliate Entodinium Longinucleatum Dogiel, 1925 (Ciliophora: Entodiniomorphida: Entodiniidae) In Domesticated Cattle, Bayram Göçmen, Ni̇met Öktem Jan 1999

The Taxonomical Status Of The Rumen Ciliate Entodinium Longinucleatum Dogiel, 1925 (Ciliophora: Entodiniomorphida: Entodiniidae) In Domesticated Cattle, Bayram Göçmen, Ni̇met Öktem

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Rumen contents obtained from 27 adult domesticated cattle (Bos taurus L.) were surveyed for the ciliate formae belonging to Entodinium longinucleatum. All the protozoa identified as belonging to the species were distinguished as E. longinucleatum forma longinucleatum with a frequency appearance of 96.30% (in 26 animals examined). The ciliate numbers of the forma range from 1,184 to 98,826 per milliliter of rumen contents, with a mean of 31,779. Partial and considerable variations were determined in both various morphometrical characteristics and morphology of macronucleus in both within the same host and between the host animals. Moreover, it was pointed out that …


Economic Aspects Of Contagious Abortion In A Dairy Herd, Department Of Animal Husbandry May 1930

Economic Aspects Of Contagious Abortion In A Dairy Herd, Department Of Animal Husbandry

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The object of this study is to present the measurable losses due to abortion in a dairy herd of high-producing ability over a period of approximately one-third of a century. The records available provide a rather complete history of what has taken place.
