    Eighty beef heifers (initial body weight = 795 ± 18 lb) were individually fed finishing diets based on steam-flaked corn for 118 days. Dietary treatments consisted of corn hybrids containing vitreous (HARD), opaque (SOFT), ...
  • Effect of feeding conventional or high-moisture, steam-flaked corn to finishing heifers
    Sindt, J.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Kessen, T.J.; Sulpizio, M.J.; Loe, E.R.; Montgomery, S.P. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2003)
    Finishing heifers were fed diets containing either conventional (18% moisture) or high-moisture (36% moisture) steam-flaked corn. Increasing moisture concentration in flakes increased starch availability (P<0.01), ...
  • Effect of full-fat corn germ and Vitamin E on finishing performance and carcass characteristics of beef heifers
    Montgomery, S.P.; Drouillard, J.S.; Sindt, J.J.; Greenquist, M.A.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Good, E.J.; Loe, E.R.; Sulpizio, M.J.; Kessen, T.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2003)
    Eight hundred eighty-eight crossbred beef heifers weighing 837 lb were used in a 105- day finishing study to evaluate full-fat corn germ as a lipid source and added vitamin E in finishing diets containing steam-flaked ...
  • Effects of melengestrol acetate (MGA) on performance and carcass quality of feedlot heifers
    Fox, J.T.; Drouillard, J.S.; Spire, M.F.; Kessen, T.J.; Sulpizio, M.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2002)
    Sixty yearling heifers (827 lb initial body weight) were fed finishing diets an average of 95 days. To eliminate social interaction and riding, they were fed in individual pens. Diets were formulated using steam-flaked ...
  • Effects of MGA in receiving diets on health, performance, and carcass characteristics
