Analysis Of A Two Lactation Target Animal Safety Study Of Somidobove Sustained Release Injection In Multiparous Dairy Cows, L. V. Tonkinson, R. P. Basson, R. K. Mcguffey, A. Deldar, L. Fisher
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
An overview is given of the primary basis for the scientific inference that somidobove sustained release injection is safe for multiparous dairy cows. The process of analysis and interpretation of the voluminous data collected from a target animal safety study which started with 28 cows and lasted two lactations is described. This was a repeated measures study with most of 60 variables being measured or summarized every 28 days resulting in approximately 1500 measurements per cow. The statistical analysis was designed to screen the variables for biological change caused by treatment and consisted of a univariate analysis of variance for …
Statistical Issues In Studies Of Thermoregulation In Farm Animals, A. M. Parkhurst, G. L. Hahn
Statistical Issues In Studies Of Thermoregulation In Farm Animals, A. M. Parkhurst, G. L. Hahn
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Patterns of tympanic temperature response were identified in ad-lib-fed cattle exposed to constant or cyclic (±7 C) conditions at two levels of air temperature: 10 C and 28 C. Use of time series analysis following the DDS approach of Pandit and Wu indicate the thermoregulatory control dynamics for steers at 28±7 C were markedly different from those at the other conditions. Preliminary evaluations using the ideas of chaos and non-linear dynamics show promise of further characterization of stress responses in farm animals.
Nonlinear Modeling Of Ph Decline In Beef Carcasses, James R. Schwenke, Curtis L. Kastner
Nonlinear Modeling Of Ph Decline In Beef Carcasses, James R. Schwenke, Curtis L. Kastner
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Electrical stimulation speeds the rate of pH decline in beef muscle. A study was conducted to evaluate an electrical stimulation (ES) method for beef sides and its effect on pH decline compared to non-stimulated control counterparts using nonlinear modeling. The pH of each carcass in the study was measured at selected times over a 24-hour time period postmortem. A statistical methodology is described for comparing two treatments based on the mean pH decline over time. The repeated measures structure of the data is incorporated into the statistical procedure. A nonlinear exponential decay model is used to characterize the mean pH …

Recent Developments In Variance Component Estimation, R. R. Hocking
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
The purpose of this paper is to introduce some recent developments in variance component estimation with emphasis on techniques which provide diagnostic information on the data and the model assumptions. This paper concentrates on the balanced data situation, but suggests a natural extension to the case of unbalanced data. The basic ideas are illustrated by several numerical examples.

Habitat Use And Diet Analysis Of Breeding Common Barn-Owls In Western Nebraska, Joseph A. Gubanyi M.S.
Habitat Use And Diet Analysis Of Breeding Common Barn-Owls In Western Nebraska, Joseph A. Gubanyi M.S.
School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
I studied barn owl (Tyto alba) breeding biology in western Nebraska 1984-1986. I had greatest success capturing males (56% success) at night using trap doors at nest sites and females (91 % success) using hoop nets at nest sites during the day. Barn owls removed 16 of 23 tail-mounted radios. Eight birds were radio-tracked for 7-14.5 hours. The mean foraging range was 198 ha (32- 299 ha, n = 8) with < 1 % overlap among birds from adjacent nest sites. Field-tested telemetry error was high (mean displacements of radio-locations for 2 birds were 208 and 241 m). I found no relationship between percent cover in foraging habitat and reproductive success. I identified 10,140 prey items from 15 nest sites and found both annual and seasonal variation in barn owl diets. Microtus ochrogaster occurred most frequently (32.7%) and increased in the diet from 17.6 to 27.2 to 43.5% 1984-1986. M. ochrogaster and Perognathus hispidus annual frequencies were …

Population Variation In The Mitochondrial-Dna Of Two Marine Organisms: The Hard Shell Clam Mercenaria Spp. And The Killifish, Fundulus Heteroclitus, Bonnie Lynn Brown
OES Theses and Dissertations
The two major topics are covered in this dissertation: the integration of molecular genetic tools with applied aquacultural research and short-term evolutionary dynamics. The first study investigated the extent of geographic differentiation of native clam stocks along the U.S. east and Gulf coasts. Clam mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) demonstrated size polymorphism (16.5-19.0 kb) and restriction site heteroplasmy. Size heteroplasmic individuals occurred at a frequencies of 0-89% in clam populations. Restriction site heteroplasmy occurred in 12% of the 317 individuals assayed. Results of the study indicated that although harbouring a wealth of genetic variation, clams from northern regions were similar and lacked …

Use Of Respiratory-Cardiovascular Responses Of Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri) In Identifying Acute Toxicity Syndromes In Fish: Part 3. Polar Narcotics, Steven P. Bradbury, Tala R. Henry, Gerald J. Niemi, Richard W. Carlson, Virginia M. Snarski
Steven P. Bradbury
The physiological responses of rainbow trout to acutely lethal aqueous concentrations of the suspected polar narcotics phenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, aniline, 2-chloroaniline and 4-chloroaniline were examined. Visible signs of intoxication included tremors that progressed to whole-organism clonic seizures, followed by general depression and respiratory-cardiovascular collapse. Tremors and seizures were usually initiated with coughs. The most striking changes in the respiratory-cardiovascular parameters for all five toxicants included elevated cough frequency (coincident with seizures), ventilation frequency and hematocrit, and depressed gill oxygen uptake efficiency, arterial pH, total arterial oxygen and total arterial carbon dioxide. The physiological responses noted were attributed to the initial muscular …

An Australian co-operation with the national agricultural research project Thailand.
This short course is intended to cover aspects of experimental design, sampling and statistical analysis for researchers in Entomology and Plant Pathology.
The basic principles of experimental design are the same for plant protection research as they are in other areas of research. Problems in plant protection arise from the variation of the data, the complexity of the systems and interactions with environmental factors. In many cases, standard designs are quite adequate.

Red Swamp Crayfish Ecology In Lake Mead, Suzanne E. Leavitt, Jennifer Stephens Haley, Mikell Hager, Donald H. Baepler, Nevada Department Of Wildlife
Publications (WR)
Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) were trapped in Flamingo Wash, an urban wash of Las Vegas, during four periods of 1988. Life history and reproductive success were determined. The trapped crayfish were marked and released into a study cove in Lake Mead as part of an experimental stocking program. Retrap data from the study cove were used to determine life history, habitat preferences, and movement patterns of the stocked crayfish. In addition, a literature search was done on red swamp crayfish ecology, including food preferences, life history, habitat preferences and fish predation.

Putting A Top Quality Forage Program Together On Your Farm, Richard Brown Phillips
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
You know most of us here, and I am including myself, really don't have a super talent for predicting the future with a great deal of consistency, however, our interest doesn't have to be in predicting, but rather, just primarily in considering potentials and opportunities in the future. What do you say, let's take a little time to look at some of the opportunities in the forage industry. The nation's No. 1 cash crop.

Sampling And Testing For Quality, Buddy Sims
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture is preparing to implement a unique and far-reaching program to provide forage producers with a detailed analysis of the quality of hay.
This program was mandated by the Kentucky legislature in 1988 as a means to enhance the marketing of Kentucky hay. A statewide hay testing and marketing program was recommended by a special legislative task force report issued in 1987 and has the endorsement of a number of agricultural organizations, including the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture and Kentucky Farm Bureau.
Marketing Kentucky Hay — A Reality, J. Kenneth Evans
Marketing Kentucky Hay — A Reality, J. Kenneth Evans
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
As I write this in early December, Kentucky does not yet have a system for marketing hay. The above title reflects an attitude which positively expects a marketing system to be in place by the 1989 season. Many details of such a system have been discussed, some decisions have already been made and more will be made by the time you read this. Literally hundreds of decisions need to be made before hay is marketed in 1989. since these decisions will be made by a group of people (a producer Board of Directors and the KY Department of Agriculture personnel) …
Equipment And Chemical Advances In Harvesting And Storing Quality Hay, Michael Collins
Equipment And Chemical Advances In Harvesting And Storing Quality Hay, Michael Collins
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
In some areas of the country, many producers have gone to silage or haylage for storage of a portion of their forage. However, hay remains the most popular storage method for forage. Hay stores well for long periods and is better suited to cash sale and transportation over substantial distances than silage. Mechanical conditioning, which gained acceptance during the 1950's is probably still the greatest single change in hay harvesting and storage technology during this century. However, a number of other noteworthy changes and innovations have occurred in recent years which have helped to reduce the extent of losses during …

Alfalfa Hay: Quality Makes The Difference, Garry D. Lacefield
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
Alfalfa "Queen of the Forage Crops" is one of t.he most important forage legumes grown in the U.S. It can be grown over a wide range of soil and climatic conditions, it has the highest yield potential and the highest feeding values of all adapted perennial forage legumes. Alfalfa is a versatile crop which can be used for pasture, hay, silage, green-chop, soil improvements and human consumption (sprouts, etc.).

Fisheries management papers
This report outlines the management plan for the south west inshore trawl fishery which already operates in coastal waters less than 200 metres deep between Guilderton and Cape Leeuwin. This management plan takes into account these important concerns and has specifically set aside a strip of coastal area from Cape Bouvard to Cape Leeuwin for recreational usage and for protection of the benthic community, and closed the management zone north of Burns Beach to trawling.

Environmental Assessment In Bioethanol Technology Using Immobilized Yeast Cells, Minoo Kandy Zarnegar
Theses
This study is undertaken from the standpoint of water pollution evaluation in bioethanol technology, using immobilized yeast cells. Evaluation of water pollution caused by immobilized yeast fermentation is the main objective of this research.
The pollution in water remaining at the end of ethanol production, which is normally discharged in the wastewater stream, has been analyzed by the measurement of biological oxygen demand (BOD), since BOD measurement is one of the widely used parameters for water pollution evaluation. BOD obtained from produced water (stillage) was between the range of 115- 360 mg/l. The variation in BOD depended upon the removal …

The Development Of An Efficient Lupin Harvesting Front, E D. Blanchard
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Harvest losses represent a significant reduction in lupin production and farm productivity.
Since 1984, the Department's Farm Machinery Research and Liaison Unit at the Dryland Research Institute has studied the lupin harvesting operation to improve its mechanical efficiency. An experimental and a prototype harvesting front were built and tested in the field. Guidlines for efficient lupin harvesting were produced, and commercial modifications developed.

Trial 89NA61
Location: Duranillin
In this site we would expect a very large response (40 to 50% ) to phosphorus.
History:
The site was chosen because of the patchy and poor pasture production. The poor areas tend to have more suckling clover than the good areas. The pasture was legume dominant.
Treatments were applied on April 16, 1989.
