Barley silage effects on poultry behaviour
(2008)A series of trials were conducted to determine the effect of feeding barley silage to laying hens and broiler breeder pullets on performance, stress and behaviour. In the first study, two trials were conducted each with ... -
Barley Silage or Corn Silage Fed in Combination with Barley Grain, Corn Grain, or a Blend of Barley and Corn Grain to Backgrounding Beef Cattle
(2020-05-06)The objective of this study was to determine the effect of either barley (BS) or corn (CS) silage fed with dry-rolled barley (BG), dry-rolled corn (CG), or a blend of barley and corn grain (BCG) on predicted nutrient ... -
Barley Silage or Corn Silage Fed in Combination with Barley Grain, Corn Grain, or a Blend of Corn and Barley Grain for Finishing Beef Cattle
(2019-11-13)The objectives of the current studies were to evaluate the effects of silage (S) and cereal grain (G) source and their interaction (S × G) on growth performance, digestibility, and carcass characteristics (Study 1) and dry ... -
Barrier Function of the Gastrointestinal Tract of Holstein Steers When Exposed to Ruminal Acidosis and Low Feed Intake
(2016-09-21)Ruminal acidosis and low feed intake are two nutritional challenges present on beef and dairy operations that result in reduced health and performance. The objective of this study was to determine the regional susceptibility ... -
Barriers and Beliefs: How Saskatoon Adolescents Make Sense of Climate Change
(2020-11-23)Based on recent scientific predictions, we are likely to experience the most serious effects of climate change within the next three decades. Therefore, the current generation of adolescents will be responsible for grappling ... -
Barriers to implementing holistic, community-based treatment for offenders with fetal alcohol conditions
(2003-11-01)The thesis contends that holistic, community-based treatment is preferable to carceral options for offenders with fetal alcohol conditions, presents emerging support for this contention, identifies barriers to the ... -
Barriers to timely completion of the nursing education program of Saskatchewan (NEPS)
(2006-05-12)Timely student completion of undergraduate nursing programs in order to produce practicing registered nurses (RNs) is of concern to students, faculty, governments, employers, and health care consumers across Canada. The ... -
BARRIERS TO WILDLIFE HARVESTING AMONG ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES IN CANADA AND ALASKA
(2016-06-21)A large body of research confirms that access to wildlife resources can reduce conditions of food insecurity and health-related illness among Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Alaska. This thesis is premised on the belief ... -
The basic components of lignite tar
(1960)The object of this research was to identify and to estimate the abundance of the basic (nitrogenous) components in Saskatchewan lignite tar as obtained by the Parry process of low temperature carbonization. A fraction of ... -
