    This is a progress report on the second test to determine whether there is a differences in the performance of beef steers due to location, soil, climate, rainfall and/or feed produced in four area of Kansas: Colby, Garden ...
  • Post-weaning performance of calves as affected by longstem hay and method feeding
    Smith, E.F.; Harbers, L.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Three different rations were compared for feeding calves immediately after weaning. Desired is a ration that will reduce weaning stress, produce economical gains, and be easy to feed. The rations are shown in Table 4. ...
  • Predicted digestible energy and protein intakes of steers grazing bluestem pastures
    Harbers, L.H.; Rao, M.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
    Digestible protein and energy intakes by steers grazing native bluestem pastures were estimated using prediction equations established at this station. Digestible energy intakes appear to be satisfactory for yearling steers ...
  • Predicting nutritional composition of corn grain using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy
    Garcia-Lagombra, G.; Harbers, L.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1991)
