  • Ratio of roughage to grain for fattening steer calves
    Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1953)
    The physical balance or ratio of roughage to concentrates is an important factor to consider in the ration of fattening cattle. Beef cattle serve as one of the principal means of marketing roughage. Since a large amount ...
  • Ratio of roughage to grain for fattening steer calves.
    Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1952)
    This is a preliminary report covering the first 98 days of this feeding trial which is still being conducted; therefore the reader should bear in mind that the figures are in no way conclusive or complete. The physical ...
  • Rations for performance testing bulls on a 140-day gain trial
    McKee, M.; Evans, J.D.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1972)
    Twenty-six Angus, Hereford, and Shorthorn bull calves were started on feed November 16, 1970, to study differences in protein content of rations. The bulls were from 184 to 302 days old. They were randomly assigned within ...
  • Relationship between summer gains of yearling steers on bluestem pastures and feeder grade, shade of color, weight at the start of the grazing season, and previous winter gain.
    Holland, L.A.; Wheat, J.D.; Smith, E.F.; Smith, W.H.; Good, D.L.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957)
    The Department of Animal Husbandry purchases steer calves each fall to be wintered and grazed the following summer in studies of different methods of managing bluestem pastures. This affords opportunities to study the ...
  • The relationship of physical balance and energy value in sheep rations
    Bell, T.D.; Richardson, D.; Hughes, J.S.; Parrish, D.B. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954)
    Lamb-fattening rations varying in proportions of roughage to concentrates have been studied in this project for several years. Experimental evidence shows that a ratio of 55 percent roughage and 45 percent concentrates ...
  • The relationship of physical balance and energy value in sheep rations.
    Bell, T.D.; Cox, R.F.; Hughes, J.S. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1952)
    Lamb fattening rations varying in physical nature but virtually alike chemically have been studied at the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station for a number of years. Previous tests have been demonstrated that the rate ...
  • The relationship of physical balance in the utilization of pelleted and non-pelleted rations for lambs.
    Bell, T.D.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F.; Needham, J.W.; John, R. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1955)
    This project was designed to study the difference between pelleted and non-pelleted rations of different concentrations. Many commercial lamb feeders are pelleting the entire ration and believe it is superior to the ...
  • The relationship of physical balance of the ration to energy value and tissue formation in fat lambs.
    Cox, R.F.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Smith, E.F.; Hughes, J.S. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
    Many tests have been completed at this station bearing on some phase of physical balance in sheep rations. Differences in gains consistently have favored a medium proportion of concentrates to roughage over either more ...
  • Relationship of summer gains of yearling steers on bluestem pastures with feeder grade, shade of color, weight at the start of the grazing season and previous winter gain.
    Holland, L.A.; Wheat, J.D.; Smith, E.F.; Smith, W.H.; Good, D.L.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1958)
    Feeder grade, shade of color, and weight are some factors considered by cattlemen who purchase or produce yearling steers to pasture. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship of summer gains of ...
  • Response of previously implanted cattle to oral diethylstilbestrol
    Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1960)
    May 4, 1959 steers on the trace mineral study in Woodson County were randomly divided. A 12-mg. implant of diethylstilbestrol was placed in the left ear of each of six calves in either treatment group. All calves grazed ...
  • Response of yearling steers on bluestem pastures that were intensively stocked early in season
    Berger, L.L.; Harbers, L.H.; Schalles, R.R.; Owenby, C.E.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Nine pastures of 492 acres were summer grazed by yearling steers. Five were burned April 24, 1973; four were not burned. Burned and nonburned pastures had 0, 40, or 80 lbs. of nitrogen per acre applied aerially. Stocking ...
  • Rolled vs. ground grain for fattening yearling heifers.
    Cox, R.F.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1951)
    A great deal of interest in rolled grain has been expressed. Some commercial feeders have purchased rollers in preference to grinders; a few feeders truck grain to town to have it rolled in preference to grinding grain at ...
  • Selecting for feed conversion
    Schalles, R.R.; Blum, J.K.; Smith, W.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Selecting animals for decreased feed per unit of gain has made small changes in feed conversion over a four-year period. Adjusting for maintenance requirements by using mid weight to 0.75 power was not entirely satisfactory ...
