The Use Of Grape By-Products As A Nutrient Rich Cattle Feed, Zachary Christman
The Use Of Grape By-Products As A Nutrient Rich Cattle Feed, Zachary Christman
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In this article you will learn about how to use the grape stems, skins and pulp that are generated by the wine industry. Ruminant animals such as cattle can digest this inexpensive yet nutrient rich material. The complete process from wine press to cattle feed is covered in this article. The historical background of using grape by-products and methods to preserve this food source is also presented.
Symptoms And Causes Of Foamy Bloat In Cattle, Zachary Christman
Symptoms And Causes Of Foamy Bloat In Cattle, Zachary Christman
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The bovine stomach normally produces gases such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and methane. However when these gases become trapped in the bovine stomach because of a thick, frothy or foamy liquid it is called bloat. Cattle bloat is a very old condition and goes by many names but is primarily trapped gas within the bovine stomach. Readily digested feedstuff such as highly processed grain diets or an overabundance of fresh immature alfalfa often leads to a vast amount of small particles and carbohydrates in the rumen; this is the major cause of foamy bloat. Severe bloat causes death by suffocation …
Growing Yeast For Livestock, Zachary Christman
Growing Yeast For Livestock, Zachary Christman
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Over 500,000 tons of organic materials such as food scraps are disposed of each year in Wisconsin. A large percentage of this material could be composted or turned into useful products. The purpose of this article is to educate farmers and organizations on how to turn food waste into a high value food source for livestock. Yeast can be grown at any time of the year without the large inputs of agricultural chemicals and machinery that is common with other feed production methods. A yeast growing facility can be scalable to any size the producer wants such as a small …
