  • Use of Cystorelin® and artificial insemination in repeat-breeding beef heifers after estrous synchronization
    Holz, J.P.; Houghton, P.L.; Spire, M.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was administered to a group of 13- to 14- month-old Angus and Angus crossbred repeat-breeding heifers at the time of the second or third artificial insemination to determine ...
  • Use of infrared thermography to evaluate differences in mean body surface temperature and radiant heat loss in growing pigs
    Loughmiller, J.A.; Spire, M.F.; Tokach, M.D.; Dritz, S.S.; Nelssen, J.L.; Goodband, R.D.; Hogge, S.B.; James, B.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Eighty barrows were used in two experiments to determine the relationship between feed intake or dietary energy concentration and mean body surface temperature (MBST) and mean body surface radiant heat loss (MBSL) as ...
  • Utilizing infrared thermography to predict pork quality
    Lawrence, T.E.; Spire, M.F.; Dikeman, M.E.; Hunt, M.C.; Hogge, S.B.; James, B.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    Three experiments using 63 pigs were conducted to determine if infrared thermography could segregate pigs based on subsequent pork quality. Pigs were subjectively classified as either “hot” or “normal” based on infrared ...
