  • 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, ...
  • Whole-plant forage, grain, or nonheading sorghum silages for growing cattle
    Smith, R.; Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hoover, J.; Dickerson, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    Three sorghum hybrid types were used to make six silages in the fall of 1983. Eight silage rations were compared using 160 steer calves in an 84-day growing trial. Using forage sorghum silage as a base (100), grain sorghum ...
  • Whole-plant grain sorghum silages for growing cattle
    Smith, R.; Bolsen, K.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1986)
    Four trails were conducted to determine the effects of processing (rolling before feeding, with rolls set to break 95% of the kernels) and stage of maturity at harvest on the nutritive value of whole-crop grain sorghum ...
  • Yield, chemical composition, and feeding value of winter cereal silages and hays: A 3 year study
    Azimi, S.; Bolsen, K.; Laytimi, A.; Esmail, S.H.M.; Hoover, J.; Ye, Q.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Three trials were conducted to compare silage and hay yields and feeding values of winter cereal foraged harvested in the boot and dough stages of maturity. Included were triticale; common rye; Kanby barley; and Centurk, ...
