  • Rumen bacterial endotoxins and their possible role in the sudden-death syndrome
    Nagaraja, T.G.; Bartley, E.; Fina, L.; Anthony, H.; Leipold, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    We have found that rumen bacteria contain endotoxins that are released into rumen fluid. Also rumen fluid from grain-fed cattle contains considerably more free endotoxin than rumen fluid from hay-fed cattle. Injecting ...
  • Rumensin helps to reduce the incidence and severity of legume bloat in cattle
    Nagaraja, T.G.; Katz, M.P.; Fina, L.R. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1985)
    Monensin at 300 mg and 450 mg per 1000 lbs body weight reduced the severity of alfalfa pasture bloat by 41.2 and 73.1 %, respectively. Lasalocid at the same levels reduced the bloat score by 25.5 and 12.4%. The difference ...
  • Ruminal metabolic development in conventionally or early weaned calves
    Anderson, K.L.; Nagaraja, T.G.; Morrill, J.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1986)
    Accelerating the weaning age of calves appeared to increase their ruminal metabolic activity. This was indicated by the lower ruminal pH and increased, total volatile fatty acid concentration of calves weaned at 4 wk of ...
  • Sarcina ventriculi as the potential cause of abomasal bloat
    Schemm, T.J.; Nagaraja, T.G.; DeBey, B.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Sarcina-like bacteria, possibly Sarcina ventriculi, have been seen upon histopathologic examination of the abomasums of calves that died of abomasal bloat. The ability of the organism to grow at a low pH and produce large ...
  • Soybean meal+milo, alfalfa hay, and dehydrated alfalfa pellets as protein sources for steers fed dormant, native tallgrass forage in drylot
    DelCurto, T.; Cochran, R.C.; Nagaraja, T.G.; Beharka, A.A.; Vanzant, E.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Sixteen ruminally-cannulated steers consuming dormant tallgrass-prairie forage were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: 1) control, no supplement; 2) soybean meal (SBM)+sorghum grain; 3) alfalfa hay; or 4) ...
  • 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. ...
