  • Additive-treated corn and forage sorghum silages for growing cattle
    Bolsen, K.K.; Laytimi, A.; Hart, R.A.; Niroomand, F.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Whole-plant corn silages were treated with Ecosyl® or Foraform® in one trial and Biomate® or Biomate + Cold-flo® in the second trial. In both trials, the silages were well preserved, but all were highly unstable in air ...
  • Additive-treated corn silage, harvestore cornlage, and sodium bicarbonate supplement for yearling steers
    Soderlund, S.; Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Steers fed Silo Guard II® treated corn silage gained 3.5% faster and were 8.3% more efficient than those fed the control silage. Cornlage (54% dry matter corn silage in an oxygen-limiting structure) produced numerically ...
  • Alfalfa silages and hay and corn supplementation for yearling steers
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hinds, M.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Four alfalfa forages were evaluated: 1) hay; 2) low-dry matter (DM) silage; 3) medium-DM silage; and 4) high-DM silage. All forages were full-fed along with 2 lb of supplement or supplement plus 2 or 4 lb of cracked corn. ...
  • Drought-stressed, irrigated, and additive-treated corn silages for growing cattle
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Smith, R.; Hoover, J.; Axe, D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    Cattle fed drought-stressed corn silage gained about 10% slower but were just as efficient as cattle fed irrigated corn silage. Because the irrigated corn out yielded the drought corn (17.4 VS. 8.2 tons per acre), the ...
  • Effect of maturity at harvest on yield, composition, and feeding value of hybrid forage sorghum silages
    Dickerson, J.; Bolsen, K.; Hamma, S.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1986)
    Results from three trials showed the diversity among forage sorghum hybrids for both agronomic and nutritive characteristics. Later maturing and nonheading hybrids produced silages with low dry matter (DM) contents, low ...
  • Effect of sorghum type and harvest date on silage feeding value
    Smith, R.; Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hinds, M.; Pope, R.; Dickerson, J.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Five silages produced in 1982 were evaluated in two growing trials using 96 steer calves. Forage sorghum silage (heading) was assigned a feeding value of 100. Based on comparative rates and efficiencies of gain, feeding ...
  • Effects of delayed filling and H/M Inoculant® on preservation and quality of corn silage
    Bolsen, K.; Hinds, M.; Ilg, H.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    Eight whole-plant corn silages were evaluated using laboratory silos. Treatments were: 1) control (no additive); 2) H/M Inoculant applied to the fresh crop at the forage harvester (H/M-field); and 3) H/M Inoculant applied ...
  • Effects of rapid and delay silo filling and 1177® silage inoculant on performance of growing cattle fed corn and sorghum silages.
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hinds, M.; Milliken, G.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Eight concrete stave silos (10 x 50 ft) were used in two trials to evaluate rapid (24 to 36 hr) and delay (15 days) filling, each with our without 1177® silage inoculant. Corn silage was used in Trial 1; forage sorghum in ...
  • Inoculant-treated corn silages for growing cattle
    Bolsen, K.; Kireh, B.; Laytimi, A.; Hoover, J.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Whole-plant corn silages were treated with Ecosyl® in one trial and Biomate4ll or Silagest® in a second trial. In both trials, the silages were well preserved and moderately stable in air during the feed-out period. ...
  • NaOH wheat silage and alfalfa haylage for growing steers and heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Nuwanyakpa, M.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Wheat silage, with and without sodium hydroxide (NaOH), was fed, with or without alfalfa haylage, in an 80-day growing trial. Calves fed NaOH-silage consumed 18% more feed and gained 16% faster than those fed control ...
  • Whole-plant forage and grain sorghum silages for growing cattle
    Kirch, B.; Hamma, S.; Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)
    Four trials were conducted to determine the feeding value of whole-plant forage and grain sorghum silages. In general, growing cattle fed grain sorghum hybrids (NK2778, Funk's 550, DeKalb 42Y, DeKalb E67) out performed ...
  • Whole-plant forage and grain sorghums and corn silages for growing cattle
    Kirch, B.; Hamma, S.; Bolsen, K.; Riley, J.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Two trials were conducted to determine the feeding value of whole-plant forage sorghum, grain sorghum, and corn silages, with and without 25% rolled grain sorghum added to the ration. In general, growing cattle fed corn ...
  • Whole-plant forage, grain or non-heading sorghum silages, cornlage, and feed flavor supplements for growing calves
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Pope, R.; Hinds, M.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Four whole-plant silages produced in 1981 and 1982 were evaluated using 176 calves in two growing trials. Based on comparative rates and efficiencies of gain, feeding values were 115, 100, 78.5, and 62 for the cornlage, ...
