Characterization Of Biological Types Of Cattle (Cycle Viii): Carcass, Yield, And Longissimus Palatability Traits, T. L. Wheeler, L. V. Cundiff, S. D. Shackelford, M. Koohmaraie

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate alternative sources of tropically adapted cattle germplasm and compare them with Angus- (AN) and Hereford- (HE) sired steers. Carcass, yield, and longissimus thoracis palatability traits from F₁ steers (n = 621) obtained from mating AN and United States Meat Animal Research Center III cows to HE, AN, Brangus (BR), Beefmaster (BM), Bonsmara (BO), or Romosinuano (RO) sires were compared. Data were adjusted to constant age (426 d), carcass weight (340 kg), fat thickness (1.0 cm), fat trim percentage (25%), and marbling (Small⁰⁰) endpoints. For Warner- Bratzler and slice …

Modeling Bighorn Sheep Habitat In Northwest Nebraska, Kyle M. Forbes

Department of Geography: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

In recent years geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing technologies have been used extensively in habitat suitability modeling. By incorporating these technologies, scientists often gain the ability to formulate and implement a more detailed habitat suitability model with the addition of more detailed spatial information. A habitat suitability model was developed to quantify and describe the available suitable Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) habitat in the Pine Ridge of northwestern Nebraska and determine if a minimum viable population (MVP) of this species can be supported naturally in the region. The model included a strong spatial …

Experiments In Transmission Of Theileriasis And Anaplasmosis Of Sheep Through Ticks Ornithodoros Lahorensis And Haemaphysalis Sulcata, P. A. Bitukov

United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3: Publications

First paragraph:

In conducting inspection of sheep on haemosporidiosis in some districts of South-Kazakhstankoi region, we repeatedly observed theileriasis and anaplasmosis of sheep.

Note: Numerous other experimental data in this paper are omitted from the present translation. This report is of special interest because it establishes the role of an argasid tick as a vector of blood protozoa. Translation made and distributed by Medical Zoology Department, U. S.
