  • Arsanilic acid in growing-finishing swine rations
    Koch, B.A.; Nam, T. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    Arsanilic acid is one of many feed additives approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in swine rations. Results from an uncontrolled feeding demonstration suggested that arsanilic acid effectively increased ...
  • Changes in type since 1960
    Good, D. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    America owes a great deal of the founders of the Hereford, Angus and Shorthorn breeds of beef cattle, the dominant U.S. beef breeds. Early Scotch and English breeders in developing the beef breeds aimed to breed cattle ...
  • A comparison of four native bluestem pastures
    Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Boren, F.W.; Westmeyer, H.W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    This test compares steer weight gains on four bluestem pastures to determine whether differences among the pastures might influence steer performance. Other than being in different pastures, all steers were treated and fed ...
  • Comparison of the rates of absorption of water by corn kernals with and without disolved SO₂
    Chen, Huai-Chong (Kansas State University, 1963)
  • Concrete floor vs. elevated wooden, slotted floor
    Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    The practice of raising pigs on an elevated slotted floor is receiving wide publicity. Slotted floors have been used in various parts of the world for many years, but they have only recently been used extensively in this ...
  • Corn vs. sorghum and pellets vs. meal for growing-finishing swine
    Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    This is continuation of feeding trials comparing the feeding value of corn and sorghum grain under Kansas conditions. Forty feeder pigs, 12 Poland Chinas and 28 Durocs averaging 55 pounds each, were randomly divided by ...
  • Design and development of a reversible plastic blade fan
    Neely, Henry Mason (Kansas State University, 1963)
  • Different methods of managing bluestem pastures
    Smith, E.F.; Anderson, K.L.; Boren, F.W.; Drake, C.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    This experiment was designed to determine the effect of different stocking rates, of deferred grazing, and of pasture burning on cattle performance, productivity of pastures, and range condition as determined by plant ...
  • The effect of added calcium and phosphorus with and without added protein in the ration of steers on bluestem pasture
    Drake, C.L.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Tsien, W.S. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    This experiment was designed to evaluate the desirability of supplementing bluestem pasture as indicated in the title. Forty Hereford steer calves were divided into four lots of 10 each and fed the following rations per ...
  • The effects of adding protein to dry-rolled sorghum grain fattening rations
    Boren, F.W.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    Previous work (Bulletin 447) indicated that sorghum grain fattening rations supplemented with 0.5 pound per head per day of soybean oil meal produced gains minimal in efficiency and carcasses equal to those from heifers ...
  • Effects of dietary nitrate and nitrite on growing-finishing pigs
    Sukhonthasarnpa, S.; Parrish, D.B.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    The presence of nitrates and nitrites in feed and drinking water of farm animals apparently has caused some serious nutritional problems. This study was to establish more clearly some ways the nitrites interfere with ...
  • Effects of field-conditioned alfalfa hay on the winter performance of weaned heifer calves
    Boren, F.W.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Fairbanks, G.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    This feeding trial was to determine the effects of various field-conditioned alfalfa hays on the winter performance of heifer calves. Second-cutting alfalfa was field-conditioned or processed as follows: 1. Control-mowed, ...
  • Evaluation of total pressure method for determining vapor-liquid equilibria
    Lin, Rong-Chang (Kansas State University, 1963)
  • Factors affecting the feeding value of sorghum silage
    Boren, F.W.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Fairbanks, G.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    This is the third year of an experiment designed to investigate factors that affect the feeding value of sorghum silage. Data reported in Circular 383, 1960-61, indicated that almost without exception, average daily gain, ...
  • Fifty years of progress in sheep production
    Menzies, C. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    Research has provided the basis for improving production of quantity and quality of lamb and wool. Knowledge obtained concerning improved breeding, feeding, management and disease control practices has been used to increase ...
  • Fifty years of swine production
    Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    Changes in methods of feeding, breeding, and managing swine have been almost revolutionary the past 50 years. Consumer preference disease control , new knowledge concerning nutrition, new and more adaptable equipment, new ...
