Nutrition and Feedlot Health

Year: 1975

description: The treatment was successful, but the animal starved. This may be an extreme example but, in ruminants, one cannot divorce nutrition from therapy in sick animals. It might be useful to briefly review the chain of events which are nutritionally related to an infectious disease resulting in fever. Fever can be defined as any condition of positive heat balance not due solely to food, exercise or environment. From a nutritional point of view, the important item is the increase in basal metabolism. Since the velocity of biochemical reactions follows van Hoff’s law, basal metabolism should increase 10 to 20% per 1°C in body temperature. If so, then the use of nutrients for basal metabolism can easily double in a very sick animal. Since high fevers are usually accompanied by a decline or loss of appetite, the rapid decline in body stores is easily understood.

Hoax exterminator

description: This thesis evaluates the potential use of computational techniques to help leverage community knowledge in order to stop hoax emails. Techniques assessed include weighted term based document matching utilising Lp similarity measures and a form of unweighted phrase based matching. These are tested for their effectiveness regarding their ability to identify hoaxes, cope with the evolution of hoaxes and the effects of user added content, and for their low false positive rates. The overall system that these techniques are tested to be a part of supports not only hoax identification, but also user education and feedback. It is observed that the simpler techniques Care the best without generating a large number of false positives, namely phrase based matching and document similarity with an L 1 metric. L2 measurement is also shown to perform reasonably effectively regarding this application, but suffers from over sensitivity when highly similar hoaxes are compared. A detailed look is taken at hoax emails and the reasons behind their propagation, and a concept system from which all that has been described can be utilised has been outlined. The effectiveness of some of the techniques trialed coupled with a good understanding of both hoax emails and the benefits and limitations that exist when utilising this community content indicate that this fusing of community and technology has great potential.

description: By investigating the nonlinear propagation of high intensity electromagnetic (EM) waves in a pair ion plasma, whose symmetry is broken via contamination by a small fraction of high mass immobile ions, it is shown that this new and interesting state of (laboratory created) matter is capable of supporting structures that strongly localize and bunch the EM radiation with density excess in the region of localization. Testing of this prediction in controlled laboratory experiments can lend credence, inter alia, to conjectures on structure formation (via the same mechanism) in the MEV era of the early universe.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. A collection of determined, like-minded individuals has been assembled in Japan from an unusually broad variety of university, governmental and commercial organizations with one common aim: to successfully culture the common Asian octopus on a commercially sound basis. Experimental open and closed systems at the laboratory level are in use at two universites, and on a semi-commercial level in closed systems at a live-fish-holding facility. Initial culturing of small adults through to spawning individuals has been very successful, and the present focus is on raising paralarvae. Results include demonstration that non-copepod crustaceans dominate the diet of wild paralarvae off Japan.
Problems Encountered with Retaining Yearling Calves on Farms in the North

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference

description: The practice of shipping or retaining calves in the Northwest in recent years has reached full cycle. The practice a number of years ago of some ranchers was to ship the heavy calves (400-500# approx.) at weaning, and retain the lighter calves, winter them and sell them in July and August as long yearlings. For a number of years the feedlot operator kept dipping into the lighter calves because of the demand. In the past two years a complete turnabout has occurred due to the economics of the cattle industry from the standpoint of price and feed. So at present we have completed a cycle and are now where we were a few years back.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. With the global decline in finfish stocks and other traditional fisheries, many fishermen are beginning to explore the potential economic benefits of diversification. A small, directed squid fishery using traditional line and hook (hand jigging) methods has recently been reported in several coastal locations around the Isle of Man. Jigging is a highly selective fishing method which has minimal impact on the marine environment and for existing fishermen requires minimal start-up cost (e.g. new fishing gear). This study investigated the potential cost and benefits, both socio-economic and ecological, for the Manx economy of further developing the extent of this seasonal artisanal fishery within the territorial sea.
Problems Encountered with Retaining Post-Weaned Calves on Southern Farms

Year: 1975

description: Economics is forcing great changes in the cattle industry. According to some feeders it is no longer possible to put large numbers of calves in feedlots in the panhandle region of Texas and the western states because the high cost of rations makes it economically unfeasible. It appears that there will be an unceasing and growing demand for grain on a world-wide basis. It is believed the present economic factors dictate that cattle will be kept on grass longer in order to make maximum untilization of the high priced grain. Research has been intensified during the last five years through the use of higher nitrogen rates, better grazing management and improved varieties of stocker calves. Thus with the advanced technology to grow cattle and forages, coupled with the favorable rainfall and winter climatic condition in the South, forage-fed beef is receiving more recognition (1,7). Some economists predict that 60% or more of the cattle slaughtered this year will be non-grain fed animals. Many heavy steers are being sent from grass to packer. The 1974 calf slaughter was up 65% above that of 1973; included were many heavy weanling and yearling calves (6).

Case Histories of Clostridium Hemolyticum Infection

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1975

description: My topic today is case histories of clostridium hemolyticum infection. We call this disease "red water" down in our part of the country. It is also knows as bacillary hemoglobinuria. In Florida, red water is a relatively new disease. So far as I can find out, it was first suspected as the cause of several deaths in a Brahman herd in the Kissimmee River Valley area around 1957 or 1958. Five years later, in 1962, it was positively diagnosed by laboratory confirmation some 75 to 80 miles to the south in a herd located on the northwest shore of Lake Okeechobee, where the Kissimmee River runs into the lake. Since then, it has spread to just about every area in southern Florida. I mention where the disease was first found because I feel that it has something to do with the spread of the disease in our area. But first, let me say something about the causitive organism, how it affects cattle, and its diagnosis. Red water is caused by one of the clostridial organisms, clostridium hemolyticum. Bovine Medicine and Surgery describes the organism as a noncapsulated, sluggishly motile spore forming, obligate anaerobic rod. They also state that culture requirements are most exacting and that it closely resembles Cl novyi and Cl sardellie in culture features, but is an immunologically distinct species. On cultural media, atoxin is produced that has a twofold affect on body tissue. One causes hemolysis of erythrocytes and the other, tissue necrosis. Hemolysis and liver necrosis is also found in natural infection. It is gram positive for the first 24 hours of growth on culture, then becomes gram negative.

Re-evaluation of the T2KK physics potential with simulations including backgrounds

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Tokai-to-Kamioka-and-Korea (T2KK) neutrino oscillation experiment under examination can have a high sensitivity to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy for a combination of relatively large (\sim 3.0^circ) off-axis angle beam at Super-Kamiokande (SK) and small (\sim 0.5^circ) off-axis angle at L \sim 1,000km in Korea. We elaborate previous studies by taking into account smearing of reconstructed neutrino energy due to finite resolution of electron or muon energies, nuclear Fermi motion and resonance production, as well as the neutral current π^0 production background to the nu_mu to nu_e oscillation signal. It is found that the mass hierarchy pattern can still be determined at 3sigma level if sin^22thata_rct \quiv 4|U_{e3}|^2(1-|U_{e3}|^2) \gsim 0.08(0.09) when the hierarchy is normal (inverted) with 5 \times10^{21} POT exposure, or 5 years of the T2K experiment, if a 100kton water cherenkov detector is placed in Korea. The π^0 backgrounds deteriorate the capability of the mass hierarchy determination, whereas the events from nuclear resonance productions contribute positively to the hierarchy discrimination power. We also find that the π^0 backgrounds seriously affect the CP phase measurement. Although δ_mns can still be constrained with an accuracy of \sim \pm 45^circ (\pm 60^circ) at 1sigma level for the normal (inverted) hierarchy with the above exposure if sin^22theta_rct \gsim 0.04, CP violation can no longer be established at 3sigma level even for delta_mns=\pm 90^circ and sin^22theta_rct=0.1. About four times higher exposure will be needed to measure delta_mns with \pm 30^circ accuracy.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The recent sharp decrease in common squid (Loligo vulgaris) Portuguese landings, demands for advice based on novel and sustainable management measures. The identification of essential fish habitats (EFH) that play an important role in critical life stages of exploited species can be used as a management tool to support stocks conservation and sustainable exploitation. Therefore, data from demersal surveys between 1990 and 2013 were analysed to describe the distribution of juveniles and females in mature condition and two main nurseries grounds and four spawning grounds were identified along the Portuguese shelf. Important differences were observed between the west and south regions. The relationships between several environmental variables and the abundance of juveniles and mature females are explored to characterize L. vulgaris EFH.

description: We present a catalog of 5184 candidate infrared counterparts to X-ray sources detected towards the Galactic center. The X-ray sample contains 9017 point sources detected in this region by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, including data from a recent deep survey of the central 2 x 0.8 deg of the Galactic plane. A total of 6760 of these sources have hard X-ray colors, and the majority of them lie near the Galactic center, while most of the remaining 2257 soft X-ray sources lie in the foreground. We cross-correlated the X-ray source positions with the 2MASS and SIRIUS near-infrared catalogs, which collectively contain stars with a 10-sigma limiting flux of K_s<=15.6 mag. In order to distinguish absorbed infrared sources near the Galactic center from those in the foreground, we defined red and blue sources as those which have H-K_s>=0.9 and <=0.9 mag, respectively. We find that 5.8(1.5)% of the hard X-ray sources have real infrared counterparts, of which 228(99) are red and 166(27) are blue. The red counterparts are probably comprised of WR/O stars, HMXBs, and symbiotics near the Galactic center. We also find that 39.4(1.0)% of the soft X-ray sources have blue infrared counterparts; most of these are probably coronally active dwarfs in the foreground. There is a noteworthy collection of ~20 red counterparts to hard X-ray sources near the Sagittarius-B H II region, which are probably massive binaries that have formed within the last several Myr. For each of the infrared matches to X-ray sources in our catalog we derived the probability that the association is real, based on the results of the cross-correlation analysis. The catalog will serve spectroscopic surveys to identify infrared counterparts to X-ray sources near the Galactic center.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Since the second half of the last century interdecadal variations in the content of inorganic phosphorus in the southern Barents Sea waters occurred quasi-synchronously with similar variations in the active layer of the Atlantic Water over a large area from the Irminger Sea to the Baltic Sea and from the Porcupine Plateau to the Norwegian Sea. Interdecadal structural changes in the Barents Sea ecosystem, manifested as variations in the total biomass and catches of some fish species, are caused by changes in the “cumulative” properties of seawater, in particular, stratification and inorganic phosphorus content. In line with general eutrophication-related trends, an increased content of phosphates in the Barents Sea and adjacent areas of the Atlantic coincided with a decrease in biomass and catches of relatively long-lived species (cod and herring) and a simultaneous increase in those for capelin, a short-lived plankton-eater. So, in the periods of low inorganic phosphorus content in seawater, the Barents Sea ecosystem can be classified as a continental shelf temperate marine ecosystem. When the total level of inorganic phosphorus in the environment was high, the food chain structure was closer to that typical of biological communities inhabiting the Arctic seas and upwelling areas.
Gross Pathology of Abdominal Viscera
Creators: name: Giles, Herschel
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1975

description: Ulceration in the rumen of cattle, I think, commonly or more frequently represents a rapid change in diet, producing rumen acidosis which is followed by necrosis of the epithelium, and ulceration. These ulcers frequently can lead to rumen abscessation. Bacteria can get into the submucosa and then metastasize to the liver. Spherophorus necrophorus is most commonly in the textbooks associated with these lesions, but in our particular locality at Auburn we very seldom see it. Other organisms can cause it. Many fungal agents also get in the submucosa of the rumen, but the primary problem is acidosis. The lesion would be typical of a fungal infection starting out in the rumen. But rumen acidosis following a rapid change in diet is the primary cause of rumen ulceration. Other causes that should not be neglected are infectious, such as virus diarrhea.

Year: 1975

description: The clinical signs for the various types of pneumonia are so similar that a post-mortem ex-amination and/or diagnostic laboratory testing is required to determine the eitology. Most practitioners have determined through education and trial and error effective methods of therapy for bovine pneumonia. Assistance is requested from the diagnostic laboratory when standard methods of therapy have failed. Unfortunately, many times the request from the owner for practitioner assistance comes after the owner has tried his hand at therapy. The gross examination of thoracic viscera is sufficient in many cases to reveal a tentative diagnosis sufficient to indicate appropriate therapy. The purpose of this presentation is to compare the clinical signs and gross lesions for a few commonly misdiagnosed causes of bovine pneumonia. Effective therapy must be preceded by a prompt and accurate diagnosis. The data presented are to assist in deter-mining the diagnosis. Methods to effect prophylaxis and therapy for bovine pneumonia are not included in this presentation. The types of pneumonia to be com-pared are viral pneumonia, Pasteurellu pneumonia, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, verminous pneumonia and atypical interstitial bovine pneumonia

description: The overabundance of Mg relative to Fe, observed in the nuclei of bright ellipticals, and its increase with galactic mass, poses a serious problem for all current models of galaxy formation. Here we improve on the one-zone chemical evolution models for elliptical galaxies by taking into account positive feedback produced in the early stages of super-massive central black hole growth. We can account for both the observed correlation and the scatter if the observed anti-hierarchical behaviour of the AGN population couples to galaxy assembly and results in an enhancement of the star formation efficiency which is proportional to galactic mass. At low and intermediate galactic masses, however, a slower mode for star formation suffices to account for the observational properties.

description: As far as giving the diagnostic laboratory at Texas A&M a fine flair, one of the gentlemen, Dr. Sippel, is Mr. Diagnostics himself. He's the one that taught me how to give good service. (I have an eleven-minute film that goes through a day at a diagnostic lab.) Every week we try to have a couple of practitioners drop down to the lab and see what and why we do some of the things we do, and why we get some of the answers we do, and why we don't get the answers that they think we ought to get! Now, if that sounds a little like double talk, that's sometimes just about the way you have to unsnarl some of the tissues and material that come in. But at least this will do one thing-the majority of the veterinarians that I have spoken to have never really seen the inside "guts" of a diagnostic laboratory. If you'll just bear with me for eleven minutes I'm going to open up your eyes just a little bit. I do think that it gives you an idea that when your specimen gets there that we don't have a large board and we throw darts, and wherever the dart lands, that's the diagnosis we send back to you! Honest. I'm certainly happy to be associated with you folks, American Association of Bovine Practitioners, and I've got to thank the folks that have sure taken good care of me. I am, as far as diagnostic veterinary service, almost evangelic in my fervor, so if I repeat myself it's because I've (1) just forgotten that I already said it, or 2) I want to say it again so you'll remember it. I truly believe in what I'm going to tell you.

description: Ultra low frequency-ULF (1 Hz or lower), kHz and MHz electromagnetic (EM) anomalies were recorded prior to the L'Aquila catastrophic earthquake (EQ) that occurred on April 6, 2009. The detected anomalies followed this temporal scheme. (i) The MHZ EM anomalies were detected on March 26, 2009 and April 2, 2009. The kHz EM anomalies were emerged on April, 4 2009. The ULF EM anomaly was continuously recorded from March 29, 2009 up to April 2, 2009. "Are EQs predictable?" is a question hotly debated in the science community. Its answer begs for another question: "Are there credible EQ precursors?". Despite fairly abundant circumstantial evidence pre-seismic EM signals have not been adequately accepted as real physical quantities. Therefore, the question effortlessly arises as to whether the observed anomalies before the L'Aquila EQ were seismogenic or not. The main goal of this work is to provide some insight into this issue.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Over the past ~40 years, the distribution of silver hake (SH) on the Northeast U.S. shelf is found to be closely related to changes in the latitude of the Gulf Stream (GS) path. The correlation coefficient between the fall GS position (GS hereafter) and the center of biomass (COB) of spring SH (SH hereafter) reaches 0.75 when the GS leads the SH for 0.5 year. Based on this lead-lag relationship and the low-frequency variability of GS position with a dominant period of ~9-10 years, the GS path index is used as a predictor for the COB of SH in linear autoregressive (AR) models. The goal of this study is then to optimize the AR models for the prediction of SH based on the observed changes in GS position. Fall GS position is first predicted out to 5 years using a 5th order AR model and the observed GS position in preceding years. We then use this predicted GS position to predict the COB of SH in subsequent spring. The predicted SH time series can explain as much as 69% of the variance of the observation for the 1st year prediction and 41% for the 5th year prediction.

description: We analyze analytically and numerically the origin of the singularity in the course of the collapse of a wormhole with the exotic scalar field Psi with negative energy density, and with this field Psi together with the ordered magnetic field H. We do this under the simplifying assumptions of the spherical symmetry and that in the vicinity of the singularity the solution of the Einstein equations depends only on one coordinate (the homogeneous approximation). In the framework of these assumptions we found the principal difference between the case of the collapse of the ordinary scalar field Phi with the positive energy density together with an ordered magnetic field H and the collapse of the exotic scalar field Psi together with the magnetic field H. The later case is important for the possible astrophysical manifestation of the wormholes.

High school students' orientation to the future
Creators: name: Brain, Alan Richard Leonard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The problem is how young people of high school age orient themselves to the future in the light of the theoretical presupposition that such an orientation is a crucial one to the development of identity during adolescence. Fourteen students in a Vancouver high school are interviewed in considerable depth to ascertain primarily how they are so oriented and, more generally, other aspects of their overall outlook. A comparison is made between these findings and those of several earlier studies of approximately ten years ago. While the reasons why the two sets of data may not be exactly comparable are stated, certain conclusions from the data about social change during this period are put forward. The claim is made that a new ideology has developed in this time that did not exist at all among young people previously, and an attempt is made to explicate this ideology as much as possible — drawing on the data of the tape-recorded interviews. A model of cultural change whereby new ideologies are adopted in society is suggested, and the prediction is put forward that the new ideology will spread more among high school students in the near future with significant consequences for the wider society. Finally the effect of all this on the process of adolescent development in society is discussed. It is suggested that this process is crucially linked to social conditions and that at the present time, and because of the above, in contrast to a decade ago it is now much more possible to undergo the full process of adolescence.
Dry Cow Problems

description: I do not have anything radically new or different to offer. I will attempt to share with you some of the ideas and programs we try to accomplish in our practice with dry cow management. Dry cow management has not received the attention as have other areas of the dairy cow practice; consequently, I think the theme for this meeting is very timely. I would state at the onset that I do not wish to lead you to believe we accomplish these things in all the herds we serve. It would be my wish that, someday, someone will come to this speaker's platform and tell me how to motivate people to try some of the things we are discussing. The problems of client education and motivation are very tough for us to deal with. We have tried every method except physical threats on our clients, and our results are not always rewarding. We certainly need help in this area of our practice. Herd size and problems have outrun the management ability in our area and this also compounds the problem-even more so with dry cow programs because clients are much more receptive to information dealing with production. It goes without saying that nutrition and mastitis are two very important factors in dry cow management, but much more capable men than I have already covered this, so I will not try to improve on their information. In the interest of brevity, I will present a dry cow program we are working with and trying to implement. Admittedly, some of this will be elementary, but we feel that programs must be simple, convenient, and easy for the owner to put into action or they will be a failure.

description: This research investigates the voter-leader nexus by examining the extent to which public opinion mirrors the political attitudes and pronouncements of political elites in Australia. While aggregative-pluralist scholars regard voters as holders of exogenous preferences and political elites as aggregators of these preferences, neo-elitists regard public opinion as actively shaped and manufactured by competitive elites seeking election to political office. These perspectives, while both compelling, are mutually exclusive. Using the 2010 Federal Election campaign as a case study, the research employs a mixed methods approach to compare the plausibility of the two perspectives. The empirical part involves: (a) comparison of the structure of voters' political attitudes with those of parliamentary candidates drawing upon the 1990 - 2010 Australian Election Studies and Australian Candidate Studies; and (b) qualitative analysis of the dynamics of leader-voter interaction through the use of innovative 'political logs' kept by participants during the 2010 election campaign. The quantitative analysis confirms the neo-elitist proposition that Labor and Coalition elites polarise more strongly on left-right issues than on authority issues, a finding that holds across the 20-year sampled period. The qualitative analysis shows that while participants generally have high levels of political awareness, their political autonomy is low ‚Äö- as their information is sourced from leaders and parties, and voter agendas increasingly correspond with those of leaders toward the end of the campaign. This study finds that Australian democracy is far more elite-driven than is currently acknowledged. I conclude that contemporary democracy is characterised by an asymmetrical and elite-dominated social process of persuasion in strategic competition for control of the state. My research contributes to political sociology, demonstrating that political logs offer a valuable supplement to surveys by allowing researchers to examine the dynamics of the voter-leader nexus.

description: In this study, we reproduce two new hybrid intelligent systems, involve three prominent intelligent computing and approximate reasoning methods: Self Organizing feature Map (SOM), Neruo-Fuzzy Inference System and Rough Set Theory (RST),called SONFIS and SORST. We show how our algorithms can be construed as a linkage of government-society interactions, where government catches various states of behaviors: solid (absolute) or flexible. So, transition of society, by changing of connectivity parameters (noise) from order to disorder is inferred.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The enormously productive Chukchi Sea shelf arises as a consequence of water transport from the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic Ocean through Bering Strait and thus forms a transition zone between the borealarctic Bering Sea and the high-arctic Arctic Ocean. These contrasts are particularly evident on the northeastern Chukchi Sea shelf in summer and fall and are related to the bathymetry of the shelf, in conjunction with seasonal changes in ice-cover and winds and Bering Strait transport. These factors shape this ecosystem’s spatio-temporal structure and processes. In aggregate, these physical factors, reflected in the vertical and horizontal distribution of summer-fall temperature, salinity and dissolved carbon properties, can lead to substantial ecological differences and complexity over short (~20 km) spatial scales. In particular, the distribution of summer waters from the Bering Sea and cold, salty bottom waters (established by sea-ice formation during the previous winter) exerts an important influence on the pelagic components of this ecosystem. Consequently, large inter-annual variations in winds, summer sea-ice extent, and Bering Strait transport can lead to correspondingly large inter-annual differences in the distribution and abundance of zooplankton, planktivorous seabirds, pelagic-feeding marine mammals, and low-pH bottom waters.

description: The spectrum of Hamiltonian (Markov matrix) of a multi-species asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring is studied. The dynamical exponent concerning the relaxation time is found to coincide with the one-species case. It implies that the system belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang or Edwards-Wilkinson universality classes depending on whether the hopping rate is asymmetric or symmetric, respectively. Our derivation exploits a poset structure of the particle sectors, leading to a new spectral duality and inclusion relations. The Bethe ansatz integrability is also demonstrated.

Some Special Problems in Dry Cow Mastitis
Creators: name: Winkler, J. K.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1975

description: Dry cow mastitis resulting from either residual lactation infections or dry cow trauma or infection may cause an assortment of problems to the individual cow. These problems include milk stones or lactoliths, partial or complete obstruction of the gland or teat cisterns, and development of cysts in the mammary tissue. Although not limited to the dry period, traumatic injury resulting in massive hematomas seems to occur more frequently pre-partum. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the etiology, significance, prevention, and possible therapy.

Dry Treatment in Large Scale, Dry Lot Operations

description: A mastitis control program must ultimately relate to maximizing profit; therefore, maximum profit is the standard by which we should orient our decisions. Medical decisions and procedures based on medical principles, even if sound in themselves, that do not ultimately contribute to maximizing profit must be considered abstract and unjustifiable. Herd health exists for the sole purpose of maximizing profit. The purpose of dry treatment is twofold: 1. to eradicate existing infections, and 2. to provide a protective level of antibiotic during the first two weeks of the dry period, an interval of increased susceptibility to new infections.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. North Pacific storm locations vary synoptically, seasonally, and inter-annually, subjecting the ecosystems of the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, and beyond to the effects of non-stationary forcing. Examination of National Center for Environmental Prediction atmospheric Reanalysis fields over 1948-2014 shows that the amount of time the Bering Sea is subjected to energetic low pressure systems can vary by +/- 30 days per October-toApril winter season. These longitudinal relocations of the Aleutian Low help mediate the annual mean northward delivery of Pacific waters through Bering Strait. As a consequence, advection of heat, nutrients, and plankton into the Arctic can vary by 25% on inter-annual to decadal time scales. Coincident changes are found in the Bering Sea winter ice extent, setup of energetic continental shelf waves, Ekman suction rates in the Aleutian Basin and Gulf of Alaska, and sea surface height anomalies. This talk reviews and presents evidence for oceanic adjustments to longitudinal migrations of the Aleutian Low and describes some of the observed biological consequences, including changes in primary and secondary production, fish diets, and invertebrate abundances.
How I Feed Dry Cows in My Own Two Herds

description: In feeding my own herds, and making recommendations for other herds, the following guides are used. The guides are primarily for herds using corn and/or sorghum silage and small grain haylage or silage with limited amounts of hay. The cropping system is so designed to meet all roughage requirements first, and the excess corn, sorghum and small grains are utilized in the grain ration. The dry cow ration should be balanced and fed to work in conjunction with the milking herd ration.

Feeding the Dry Cow

description: The practice of dividing the cow's year into periods depending upon the stage of the gestation-lactation cycle should now be discarded. Feeding the dry cow is as much a factor during the first stages of lactation as the last stage of lactation is a factor during the dry period. For this reason, we cannot isolate one period and call it the dry period from a purely nutritional point of view. In terms of nutrition for the high producing dairy cow, modern feeding programs should feed the cow on a total year basis. The concept of "gestation-lactation" feeding is illustrated in Figure 1. Traditional dairy feeding programs involve a table of nutrient requirements and tables of feed composition. The two parts must be in the same unit of measurement and their usefullness is dependent upon the precision of both. The practice of stating energy values in different ways (starch equivalent, oat unit, barley unit, net energy, total digestible nutrients, etc.) has necessitated the development of many standards and tables of feed composition. Despite many attempts to develop values for equating measures of energy and recommendations for the use of a single standard, arguments for and against standards remain. In addition to the problems of expressions of energy, conventional systems fail to consider other important points such as feed intake and the end-products of rumen fermentation. Armstrong (1) pointed out the necessity for considering these end-products of digestion, and Kleiber (5) maintained that studies of milk formation are more of a chemical problem than a problem of energestics. Despite the known short-comings of conventional systems for feeding dairy cows, they served the dariy industry well for so long as feeding was done by experienced dairymen willing to provide considerable attention to individual cows within herds. In recent years, several changes in dairying have taken place which created the need for a new philosophy in feeding dairy cows. Among these changes were the following: 1) The use of large herds where individual feeding cannot be properly practiced. 2) The breeding of cows for levels of production high enough to create constant problems with borderline nutrient deficiencies. 3. Feeding program which create stress conditions and result in rumen health problems. This paper will review the theory and practice of a system for feeding dairy cows which was designed to overcome many of the problems encountered in traditional programs. The reader who is interested in a detailed listing of literature citations and a point-by-point consideration of the factors used in the program is referred to the book "Optimum Feeding of Dairy Animals" (7). In this review, general principles will be outlined instead of a detailed literature review.
