  • Influence of sustained rumensin release on steer performance and forage utilization
    Cochran, B.; Vanzant, E.; Riley, J.; Avery, T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Steers managed within an intensive-early stocking program and receiving Rumensin® via a slow-release bolus tended to have higher average daily gains than steers not receiving Rumensin. However, forage organic matter ...
  • Intermittent feeding of Chlortetracycline to finishing cattle
    Riley, J.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    We used 168 yearling steers in a 139-day finishing trial to evaluate high levels of chlortetracycline (aureomycin) fed for short periods at regular intervals during finishing. Since liver abscess rate was low for all ...
  • Management options for pregnant feedlot heifers
    Riley, J.; Simon, M.; Keay, L.E.; Kiracofe, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Heifers that were 167 days pregnant when slaughtered gained faster and more efficiently than open heifers, or heifers that had been aborted with a prostaglandin analog at 83 or 138 days, unless the slaughter weight was ...
  • Medication programs for newly received calves
    Axe, D.; Riley, J.; Spire, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Three medication programs for newly purchased feeder calves were compared and found to be similar in effectiveness. There was considerable variation in cost between the three medication programs which indicates a potential ...
  • Micronized milo and urea in high-hay growing rations for beef heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
    Twenty-four individually fed heifers were used to evaluate four combinations of micronized or dry-rolled milo and soybean meal or urea supplements in prairie hay growing rations. Feeding 5 lbs. of micronized milo produced ...
  • Micronized milo, urea and prairie hay for growing beef heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Oltjen, J.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Twenty-four individually fed heifers were used 1n two heifer trials to evaluate four combinations of micronized or dry-rolled milo and soybean meal or urea supplements 1n prairie hay growing rations. Feeding 4 to 5 lbs. ...
  • Milo stover and forage sorghum silages for growing heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J.; Corah, L.; Grimes, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
    Ninety-six heifer calves were used to compare four silage combinations: (1) 100% milo stover, (2) 67% milo stover and 33% forage sorghum, (3) 33% milo stover and 67% forage sorghum and (4) 100% forage sorghum. Each ...
  • Milo stover, forage sorghum and alfalfa silages for growing heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J.; Grimes, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Ninety heifer calves were used to compare six rations containing various combinations of milo stover, forage sorghum and alfalfa silages. In the 96-day trial, heifers fed 100% forage sorghum silage outperformed heifers ...
  • Mineral, Rumensin®, and chlortetracycline supplementation for steers on native bluestem pasture
    Graber, R.W.; Smith, E.F.; Owensby, C.E.; Riley, J.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    Eighty steers, primarily of British breeding, were allotted to one of four treatments and maintained on native bluestem pastures from January 11, 1984 to October 2, 1984. Steers received either chlortetracycline or Rumensin®, ...
  • New developments in feeding wheat to cattle
    Brethour, J.; Lee, B.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    At least for the varieties we studied, hard red winter wheat was superior to soft red winter wheat in beef cattle rations. That contradicts the perception that feed wheats should be soft. The net energy values of Larned ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of Chianina-X steers
    Riley, J.; Fink, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
    Chianina-X steers gained consistently during a 151-day finishing test and produced high yielding carcasses with 0.06 in. fat and 1.71 square of loin per hundred pounds of carcass. Average USDA quality grade was between ...
  • Protein levels with and without Monensin for finishing steers
    Thompson, W.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    Ration erode protein levels of 9%, 11%, 15%, 12 declining to 10.5% and 13% declining to 11% and finally to 9% were fed with and without Monensin. Steers fed 9% protein continuously gained the least and were the least ...
  • Serum cholesterol concentrations in yearling bulls
    Goldy, G.; Riley, J.; Olsen, W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    A wide range in serum cholesterol concentrations was observed within and between all four breeds of yearling bulls studied. The significance of this observation is unknown at this time. Addition research is necessary to ...
  • Silo-best for corn silage
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Two corn silages (37 to 38% DM) were made September 2 and 3, 1975; one was ensiled without additive (control), the other with Silo-Best added at 1.0 lb. per ton of fresh crop. Silos were opened after 36 days, and ...
  • Single vs. reimplant programs for finishing steers
    Riley, J.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
