  • Soy molasses as a feed ingredient for finishing cattle
    Drouillard, J.S.; Schoenholz, C.K.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Eighty Angus × Hereford cross steers were used in an individual feeding study to compare soybean molasses (a by-product of soybean meal manufacture) and soybean meal as ingredients in finishing diets containing flaked ...
  • Soybean hulls in roughage-free diets for limit-fed growing cattle
    Löest, C.A.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Drouillard, J.S.; Blasi, D.A.; Bindel, D.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1998)
    Three hundred heifers (573 lb initial body weight) were used in a growing study to compare growth performance of cattle fed roughage-free diets comprised mainly of soybean hulls with that of cattle receiving roughage- and ...
  • Steam-flaked corn diets containing combinations of wet corn gluten feed and alfalfa hay: effects on diet digestibility and ruminal characteristics
    Sindt, J.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Montgomery, S.P.; Pike, J.N.; Farran, T.B.; Coetzer, C.M.; Higgins, J.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2002)
    Twelve ruminally cannulated Jersey steers were used to measure digestibility and ruminal characteristics of steam-flaked corn based diets containing combinations of wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) and alfalfa hay (AH). ...
  • Substituting steam-flaked corn with distiller’s grains alters ruminal fermentation and diet digestibility
    Uwituze, S.; Parsons, G.L.; Shelor, M.K.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Karges, K.K.; Gibson, M.L.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    Rapid expansion of fuel ethanol production in the High Plains, where feedlots commonly use steam-flaked corn diets, has popularized substituting dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS) for a portion of the ...
  • Supplementation strategies for forage-fed beef steers
    Drouillard, J.S.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A.; Blasi, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    A comparison was made of different supplementation strategies for steer calves wintered on brome hay for 109 days. Treatments consisted of no supplement, 1.33 lb/head daily of a 30% protein range cube, a commercially ...
  • Supplementing fructose-based block supplements to forage-fed cattle increases capacity for lactic acid metabolism
    Miller, K.A.; Quinn, M.J.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Acidosis is one of the more important maladies afflicting cattle fed significant amounts of grain and has enormous economic impact for feedlots, dairies, and producers of seed stock. The highest incidence of acidosis ...
  • Using a mixture of cottonseed hulls and cottonseed meal to replace alfalfa hay in diets for stressed feeder calves
    Blasi, D.A.; Drouillard, J.S.; Farran, T.B.; Hunter, R.D.; Montgomery, S.P.; Sindt, J.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    One 28-day receiving experiment was conducted using 625 exotic × British cross heifers to evaluate growth performance and morbidity on receiving diets that contained either alfalfa hay or a pellet composed of 65% ...
  • Vaccine impacts E. coli O157 in feedlot cattle
    Fox, J.T.; Thomson, D.U.; Drouillard, J.S.; Thornton, A.B.; Jacob, M.E.; Nagaraja, T.G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    Many human foodborne illnesses are caused by pathogens commonly harbored by food animals. Escherichia coli O157 is one of these pathogens commonly isolated from beef cattle feces and can enter the food chain at harvest. ...
  • Wet distiller’s grains with solubles in beef finishing diets comprised of steam-flaked or dry-rolled corn
    May, M.L.; Drouillard, J.S.; Quinn, M.J.; Walker, C.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2007)
    The purpose of this experiment was to determine optimal levels of distiller’s grains in finished diets with steam-flaked corn or dry rolled corn. Distiller’s grains have been used extensively in regions of the country in ...
  • Wheat gluten films prepared at high temperature and low pH decrease degradation by rumen microorganisms
    Blaine, K.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Encapsulated amino acids, vitamins, and other nutrients are gaining popularity in the ruminant feed industry. The purpose of encapsulation is to provide protection from premature digestion in the rumen, making it possible ...
