Application of SWAT for Impact Analysis of Subsurface Drainage on Streamflows in a Snow Dominated Watershed
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The wet weather pattern since the early 1990's has created two problems for the people living in the Red River Valley (RRV): (1) wet field conditions for farmers and (2) more frequent major spring floods in the Red River ...
Non-Destructive Analysis of Single Plant Canola (Brassica Napus) Seed Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used for quantitative analysis of oilseeds in a non-destructive manner. Canola (Brassica napus) is a popular oilseed crop that is used for food and biofuel markets. Due to limited ...
Evaluation of Different Techniques to Control Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gases from Animal Production Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The livestock manure management sector is one of the prime sources for the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutant gases such as ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which may affect the human health, ...
Hull Fiber from DDGS and Corn Grain as Alternative Fillers in Polymer Composites with High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The steady increase in corn based ethanol production has resulted in a dramatic rise in the supply of its co-product known as distillers’ dried grain with solubles (DDGS). Currently, the main outlet for DDGS is the animal ...
Use of Digital Imagery to Evaluate the Relationship Between NDVI and Crop Production Field Data at Stutsman County, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Remote sensing techniques using near infrared band and experimental field data has been already applied on experimental field conditions. However, actual field conditions can be different than experimental plots. This study ...
Influence of Maternal Nutrient Intake on Placental Vascular Function in Pregnant Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
We hypothesized that global maternal nutrient restriction during early and mid-gestation followed by realimentation in pregnant beef cows would alter placental arterial vascular function. We tested changes in placental ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition During Gestation on Viscera Energy Use in Ruminant Dams and Offspring and Hypothalamic Neurohormone Content in the Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The extensive use of grazing systems for ruminant livestock and the high variation in forage quality throughout the year have important impacts on production. Changes in feed quality and availability cause alteration in ...
Reproductive and Nutritional Impacts of Dried Distiller's Grains with Solubles on Growing Rams and Feedlot Lambs
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Byproduct supplementation in livestock rations is viable and can lead to increased returns to producers. Increasing the inclusion of dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS) was hypothesized to increase growth performance ...
Evaluation of Glycated Albumin as a Metabolic Marker for Marbling in Commercial Feeder Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was conducted to determine if glycated albumin is associated with marbling in beef cattle. Crossbred steers (n=113) were assigned randomly to different treatments to determine the effects of feeding strategies ...
Characteristics of Health Parameters and the Digital Cushion in Horses
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Studies examining lameness conditions and health concerns for horse owners are
important for education and future research. To investigate this, a survey and two studies were
conducted. For the survey, a total of 152 ...
