    Steers consuming a free choice mineral mix containing Aureomycin (437 mg per hd per day) gained 15.3% faster than controls during a 129 day grazing trial on brome grass pasture. There was considerable variation in daily ...
  • The effect of Avoparcin on the performance of grazing steers
    Corah, L.R.; Busby, W.D.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    One hundred two steers were used to study the effect of Avoparcin on the performance of grazing steers. Four desired dosages -- 0. 200, 400. and 600 mg/head/day -- were compared in a self-fed mineral mix. Feeding Avoparcin ...
  • Effect of combinations of rumen-protected methionine plus rumen-protected lysine on performance of finishing steers
    Riley, J.; Goldy, G.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1986)
    Feed efficiency for finishing steers was significantly improved (7.4%) when rumen-protected methionine and lysine were added to a finishing ration.
  • Effect of Compudose on grazing steers in pasture, then in feedlot
    Riley, J.; Corah, L.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Steers implanted with an estradiol removable implant (Compudose) gained 14.8% faster during 121 days of grazing and 12.1% faster in the feedlot than control steers not implanted. Implanting improved feed efficiency 6.9% ...
  • Effect of Feeding Rumensin during the growing phase on subsequent reproductive performance of yearling heifers
    Corah, L.; Riley, J.; Bolsen, K.; McKee, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Seventy five purebred heifers were used to determine whether Monensin, (trade name Rumensin) fed during the initial growing period after weaning, would affect the reproductive performance of yearling heifers. Rumensin ...
  • Effect of grain source and brewer's grain on the performance and serum cholesterol concentration of finishing steers
    Goldy, G.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    The inclusion of brewer's grains at 20% of the ration dry matter increased dry matter intake, resulting in poorer feed efficiency. Brewer's grain appeared to increase serum cholesterol. Serum cholesterol increased as ...
  • Effect of Lasalocid on the sexual development of beef heifers
    Corah, L.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Lasalocid (Bovatec®) improved daily gain of replacement heifers by .20 lb per day and reduced the time to first heat in heifers fed on a lower level of energy, but had no significant affect in the higher energy group. ...
  • Effect of limit-fed, high energy growing rations on the performance of feedlot steers
    Goldy, G.; Downey, B.; Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Steers red high-concentrate limit-fed rations were more efficient during growing than steers fed silage plus grain at 25% of their dry matter (DM) intake, or silage only. The limit-fed cattle also tended to gain faster ...
  • Effect of Monensin on performance of finishing steers
