Mountain Home Geothermal Project: geothermal energy applications in an integrated livestock meat and feed production facility at Mountain Home, Idaho. [Contains glossary]

Description: The Mountain Home Geothermal Project is an engineering and economic study of a vertically integrated livestock meat and feed production facility utilizing direct geothermal energy from the KGRA (Known Geothermal Resource Area) southeast of Mountain Home, Idaho. A system of feed production, swine raising, slaughter, potato processing and waste management was selected for study based upon market trends, regional practices, available technology, use of commercial hardware, resource characteristics… more

Market for ethanol feed joint products

Description: This report presents results of econometric estimations and mathematical simulations of markets for joint feed products of motor ethanol. The major issues considered are the nature of current market price relationships, effects on prices, including feed substitutes prices, and effects of demands for increased use of distillers' grains and gluten meal. The econometric section shows that soybean meal was by far the dominant force in the pricing of the two products. However, neither one could be a… more

Serum fractions associated with positive and false positive reactions in the ELA test for trichinellosis in swine. [Accuracy of packinghouse tests for Trichinella in pork]

Description: A considerable number of packinghouse swine sera give false positive results in the enzyme-labeled antibody (ELA) test for Trichinosis. Efforts to understand the nature of this problem directed toward isolation and identification of a serum factor responsible for the false positive reactions are discussed.

Serological testing for trichinosis in pigs

Description: A test system suitable for rapid and economical screening of large numbers of swine for antibodies to Trichinella spiralis is being developed. It was demonstrated that the soluble antigen-fluorescent antibody (SAFA) test can detect T. spiralis antibodies earlier and in swine fed fewer larvae than other tests. An enzyme-labeled antibody test (ELA) is being developed which is similar in principle to SAFA, but was shown to be more sensitive than SAFA by comparison in a double blind test on sera fr… more

Application of the indirect enzyme-labeled antibody microtest to the detection and surveillance of animal diseases. [Brucellosis, cholera, and trichinosis in cattle and swine]

Description: The rapid, indirect enzyme-labeled antibody (ELA) microplate test has been developed as a diagnostic and surveillance tool to aid in the control of animal disease. Data are presented, which illustrate the application of the test to viral (hog cholera), parasitic (trichinosis), and bacterial (brucellosis) diseases of animals. A greater than 95 percent correlation was observed between the hog cholera ELA test and the hog cholera serum neutralization test performed on over 2000 mixed hog cholera p… more

Prospects for use of the ELA test in control of trichinellosis in swine

Description: A practicable system for examining food animals at the time of slaughter to detect the presence of humoral antibodies against diseases of significance to human or animal health would be a valuable adjunct to meat inspection. Trichinosis, which has the characteristics of many of the disease problems that are of interest to the Meat and Poultry Inspection Program, was selected as a model for this purpose. Preliminary work indicated that the enzyme-labeled antibody test (ELA) could be used for det… more

Natural iodine and iodine-129 in mammalian thyroids and environmental samples taken from locations in the United States

Description: From symposium on enviromnental surveillance around nuclear installation; Warsaw, Poland (5 Nov 1973). Bovine and other mammalian thyroids, air, precipitation, water, grass, and milk samples from selected locations were analyzed for their natural iodine and iodine-129 content. Particle filters and activated charcoal beds were used to collect the particulate and gaseous iodine fractions from the air. Anion exchange was used for the separation of iodine from liquid samples. Cumbustion methods wer… more

High resolution ultrasonic scanning of animal and human tissue in-vivo

Description: Burns impose one of the most serious injuries to the skin due to the organ's function within the body system and to the body as a whole. In an effort to better deal with the burn wound by the immediate excision and grafting of third degree burns, a high resolution (approximately 0.2 mm) ultrasonic pulse-echo technique was developed for determining burn depth. The experimental subjects were Yorkshire pigs because of the histological similarity between human and porcine skin. Burn depths wer… more
