LGB students and the school environment

Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) students often face negative school environments. This literature review examines the current school environments encountered by LGB students and the risk factors associated with these experiences. These risk factors include suicide, substance abuse, academic issues, and struggles with identity development. After examining these risk factors, recommendations for improving the school environment are explored. Further recommendations for school counselors working with LGB students are then discussed. This literature review examines the use of client-centered therapy, bibliotherapy, group counseling, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy as approaches to working with LGB youth

The Effect of Furazolidone Suspension on Baby Pigs

Furazolidone is a member of a group of compounds known as nitrofurans. The nitrofurans are synthetic chemicals that have been found to be effective against many diseases. Swine enteritis or scours is one of the diseases that has successfully been controlled by furazolidone. Since scours in baby pigs is often encountered, it seemed desirable to determine if this compound would be of any benefit when given to pigs shortly after birth

The Effect of Certain Feed Additives in Pig Starter Rations

Results of experiments at, this Station and at other stations have shown that several of the antibiotics will increase the daily gains of young pigs. New antibiotics and other feed additives are constantly being tested to determine their value in swine production. These two trials were conducted to determine the value of various compounds in pig starter rations

The Effect of Injectable and Oral Iron for Baby Pigs

Iron is an essential mineral element for all animals. It is particularly important for the baby pig because they are born with only small amounts of iron stored in their bodies and milk does not contain enough iron to meet their needs. Therefore, some supplemental source of iron is needed in order to prevent anemia. Anemia can cause death of pigs but more often the losses from anemia are due to reduced growth and a lowered resistance to other diseases

Iodinated Casein for Lactating Sows

Iodinated casein is a thyroactive compound that contains about 1 percent Thyroxine activity. Thyroxine is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. This product has been used to stimulate milk production in sows. Decreased mortality and increased weaning weight of pigs have been reported by some workers. Also, an increase in weight loss of the sow bas generally been noted
