This experiment to compare two methods of watering pigs was conducted in the summer of 1956 with spring pigs on pasture. Two lots of 10 pigs each were fed shelled corn and, a mixed animal and plant protein supplement ...

Previous work has shown that rate of gain and carcass quality are essentially the same with milo grain and corn when self-fed in a beef-fattening ration (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars 308, 320, and ...

There is relatively little information on the utilization of vitamin A of different sources by weanling pigs. In this test, three sources of vitamin A were used: (1) a gelatin-stabilized vitamin A product, (2) carotene ...

Studies at this station and others have shown the importance of ratio of roughage to concentrate in lamb-fattening rations. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in feeding completely pelleted rations. Tests ...

In this study a self-fed, urea-molasses mixture is being compared to molasses self-fed plus 1.3 pounds of soybean meal in an effort to determine if a urea-molasses mixture self-fed on dry grass will serve as an ...

The nutritive value of bluestem pasture usually declines rapidly after midsummer. This is the third trial in this experiment in an attempt to find a method to economically increase the rate of gain after midsummer with ...

An experiment previously conducted at this station demonstrated that beef heifers fed a completely pelleted ration made inferior gains, and had significantly lower carcass grades and dressing percentages than heifers fed ...

Circular 320 from this station contains a three-year summary comparing heifers wintered in dry lot with heifers wintered on dry grass, and the effect of this winter treatment on their total performance in a wintering, grazing, ...
