An imitation milk was formulated by combining 4 parts of neutralized, direct-acid-set, cottage cheese whey with 6 parts of whole milk, and fortifying with .5% nonfat dry milk solids (NFDM). Whey collected from a commercial plant was neutralized, clarified, blended with milk, fortified with NFDM, pasteurized, homogenized, and packaged in ½-gal. paper cartons in the Kansas State University (KSU) dairy processing plant. Calculated raw material costs were compared for 2.0% low fat milk, 3.25% milk, and for imitation milks with those same milkfat concentrations. The 2.0 and 3.25% imitation milk could be formulated with savings of 35 and 25 cents per gallon, respectively. Coded samples of the product were compared with regular KSU whole milk by 112 persons. Of these, 45% identified the KSU milk samples, 35% thought the experimental product was the KSU milk, and 20% could tell no difference. The milk sample was preferred for flavor by 42% of the consumers, 32% had no preference, and 26% preferred the imitation milk. The imitation milk, containing 11.5% total solids and 2.4% protein, was .5% lower in total solids and 1.0% lower in protein than KSU whole milk.

The purpose of these studies was to determine how much it is possible to extend the shelf life of cottage cheese and increase its vitamin value due to berries and fruits of some fruit and berry plants. The research was carried out in 2021 on the basis of the laboratory of the Department of Technology of Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products of the I. A. Bunin Yelets State University. Kefir with a fat content of 3.2% was used as the main raw material. The fruits and ber-ries were thoroughly washed and crushed into a pulp, then added to kefir and mixed evenly. Kefir was heated in a water bath and protein coagulation occurred at a temperature of 55 ° C. The result-ing mass was filtered through a non-woven fabric "Agrotek", applying the same load. Glass jars with a volume of 0.25 liters with tin lids with threads were sterilized by steam in a water bath at t=100 oC for several minutes. The jars were filled with ready-squeezed cottage cheese. The addi-tion of crushed fruits and berries to cottage cheese changes some of its organoleptic characteris-tics: orange pulp - consistency, sea buckthorn-smell and taste, aronia - color. The introduction of fruits and berries into the recipe of cottage cheese preserves the moisture and fat content within the standard. The dynamics of the acidity of cottage cheese is greatly disturbed only by the fruits of sea buckthorn. The addition of sea buckthorn fruits to it contributes to an increase in the humid-ity and acidity of cottage cheese in a greater degree. The shelf life of cottage cheese with the addi-tion of sea buckthorn fruits at a temperature of 4 oC was 8 days, the other options - 12 days. When stored in room conditions (t=20 oC), the control cottage cheese and with aronia spoiled after 5 days. Adding fruits to it slowed down the appearance of mold: cranberry - for 1 day, mountain ash - for 2 days, orange-for 3 days. The most organic acids are added to the cottage cheese by sea buckthorn fruits and cranberry berries, flavonols - the fruits of common mountain ash, coloring substances and anthocyanins - aronia, ascorbic acid and carotenoids, including β-carotene - aronia and mountain ash.

<p class="3">This note from the field reviews the sustainability of an institution-wide program for adopting and adapting open and alternative educational resources (OAER) at Kansas State University (K-State). Developed in consult of open textbook initiatives at other institutions and modified around the needs and expectations of K-State students and faculty, this initiative proposes a sustainable means of incentivizing faculty participation via institutional support, encouraging the creation and maintenance of OAER through recurring funding, promoting innovative realizations of “educational resources” beyond traditional textbooks, and rallying faculty participation in adopting increasingly open textbook alternatives. The history and resulting structure of the initiative raise certain recommendations for how public universities may sustainably offset student textbook costs while also empowering the pedagogies of educators via a more methodical approach to adopting open materials.</p>

In recent years, many horticulture departments around the United States have been concerned with recruiting and retaining an adequate number of students. One potential recruitment opportunity is the horticulture Future Farmers of America (FFA) Career Development Events (CDEs). For the time period of 1999 to 2012 (14 years), 1462 students participated in the annual state-level horticulture contests, comprising floriculture and nursery/landscape CDEs, held at Kansas State University (KSU). Using the rosters from these two CDEs, we referenced the university’s student information database to determine whether the high school students who participated as FFA horticulture CDE contestants ultimately matriculated to KSU. Fifty-two percent of former FFA horticulture CDE participants were accepted to KSU and 32% matriculated. Of these, 58% enrolled in the College of Agriculture and 19% majored in horticulture. Therefore, 3.5% of total horticulture CDE participants majored in horticulture at KSU. Students who participated in more than one horticulture CDE over time were more likely to major in horticulture at KSU compared with students who competed only once. Thirty-nine percent of students who participated in both horticulture CDEs pursued a baccalaureate program in horticulture. These two student characteristics could be used as indicator data points to target recruitment of future horticulture students. Data about the high school programs that generated contest participants were also summarized. Exceling in the CDE contests was not an indicator CDE participants would pursue a baccalaureate degree in horticulture. These analyses suggest FFA CDEs have some potential to optimize student recruitment efforts.

ABSTRACT A rapid, inexpensive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to quantitate antibodies to porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) in serum was developed using a recombinant PRRSV nucleoprotein (rN). The sensitivity (85.3%) and specificity (81.7%) of the Kansas State University ELISA were good, correlating well (82.4%) with the IDEXX HerdChek ELISA.

This essay grew out of an attempt to discover, through a search in the archives of nine colleges and universities, whether curriculum could be found that was not male-centered and male-biased. While the search for curriculum that included women's history and achievements proved fruitless, the research illuminated controlling feminist assumptions behind three phases of women's education: the seminary movement that established secondary education for women; the movement that established elite women's colleges; and the current women's studies movement. The author also reviews some aspects of coeducation — at Oberlin and at Kansas State University — that reflect the first phase. In its first phase, feminists interested in the education of women claimed only that women needed higher education in order to teach young children, either as paid teachers (until they married) or as mothers. The curriculum offered to women was, therefore, different from (and less demanding than) that being offered to men in colleges at the time. Indeed, seminaries could not claim to be colleges for women. In its second phase, feminists interested in the education of women insisted that women could and should study what men did: the curriculum was the “men's curriculum.” Today, we have both tendencies present, along with a third, the seven-year old women's studies movement that for the first time in the history of higher education for women has challenged male hegemony over the curriculum and over knowledge itself. The movement aims to transform the curriculum through the study of women's history, achievements, status, and potential.
