  • Effect of 48-hour calf removal
    Simms, D.D.; Odde, K.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    In three field trials, we removed calves from 187 beef cows for 48 hours at the beginning of the breeding season to determine the effect on the cows' cycling activity, conception rate, and pregnancy rate. When calves ...
  • Effect of limited suckling on reproductive performance and milk production of cows and weight gains and suckling behavior of calves
    Odde, K.; Kiracofe, G.H.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    We used 109 Polled Hereford and percentage Simmental cows to evaluate limited suckling as an aid to induce cows to cycle after calving. Cows were allotted to: 1. once daily suckle; 2. twice daily suckle; 3. 48 hr calf ...
  • Estrus synchronization of cattle in Kansas
    Simms, D.D.; Sprott, L.R.; Odde, K.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    In 22 field trials involving 1,692 cattle, we evaluated Lutalyse as an estrus-synchronization agent for both natural mating and artificial insemination. Only 52.7% of the females in all 22 trials were cycling at the start ...
  • Heat synchronization with Alfaprostol
    Keay, L.E.; Kiracofe, G.; Odde, K.; Stevenson, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    One-hundred eighteen heifers were used to determine the effectiveness of Alfaprostol as a heat synchronization agent. Seventy-nine were injected twice (12 days apart) with 6 mg Alfaprostol per head and 39 were not treated. ...
  • Incidence of short estrous cycles after weaning in beef cows
    Ward, S.; Odde, K.; Kiracofe, G.; McKee, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    Weaning calves from cows that had not cycled after calving caused a higher percentage of cows to show estrous in the next 25 days than cows suckling calves. However, 78.3% of the nonsuckling cows had short cycles (7-10 ...
  • Use of Kamar® heatmount detectors in beef cattle synchronized with Lutalyse®
    Kiracofe, G.H.; Heekin, M.; Odde, K.; King, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    The ability of the Kamar Heatmount Detector to identify cows ready for insemination 80 hours after two Lutalyse injections was tested with 439 beef cows and heifers. The detector was placed on the rump at the second injection ...
