Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: W. H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468442295
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Evaluation of Crude Protein Supplementation to Beef Cattle Grazing Late Growing Season Native Range

Book Description
Two experiments evaluated the effects of altering dietary protein on beef cattle performance and nutrient excretion. In the first study, concurrent experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of protein supplementation to beef cattle grazing warm-season shortgrass forage during the late growing season. For all Exp., treatments consisted of a supplemented group (1.32 kg of a 39% CP fed 3 times a week) and a non-supplemented control group. In Exp. 1, cow final BW (P = 0.24) and ADG (P = 0.38) were not affected by treatment. There was no difference (P = 0.97) in cow final BCS regardless of treatment. Calf ADG (P = 0.54) and weaning weight (P = 0.45) were not affected by treatment. In Exp. 2, cow final BW (P = 0.39) and final BCS (P = 0.81) did not differ between treatments. Cow ADG (P = 0.07) tended to be greater when supplemented with 0.22 kg CP per day. Calf ADG (P = 0.50) and weaning weight (P = 0.11) did not differ between treatments. In Exp. 3, heifer final BW (P = 0.17) was not different between treatments. Heifer ADG (P = 0.02) was greater for supplemented heifers. Supplementing protein to cattle grazing late season medium quality forage is advantageous for increasing ADG in replacement heifers and potentially beneficial to improve condition in lactating primiparous cows. In a separate study, a commercially available condensed tannin (CT) extract (ByPro; Silva Team, Ontario, CA) was included in a cereal grain-based diet at 3 levels (0, 1, or 2% of diet, DM basis). No group by treatment interactions was detected (P ≥ 0.18) among the response variables. Provision of CT did not affect (P ≥ 0.64) DM intake or apparent total-tract DM digestion. Nitrogen intake was not affected (P = 0.58) by inclusion of CT in the diet, but fecal N output increased (P = 0.04) at 2% CT inclusion compared with control. However, there was no difference (P = 0.36) in urine N output among treatments. Nitrogen retention was less than (P = 0.03) with 2% CT than 0 or 1% CT. Proportion of total N excreted in urine decreased (P = 0.03) with CT supplementation at 1 or 2% in the diet. Similarly the proportion of total N excreted in feces increased (P = 0.03) with 1 or 2% CT inclusion. Site of N excretion was shifted away from urine and toward feces when CT was included in a complete diet fed to beef cattle.
