  • Comparison of 36 mg and 72 mg Ralgro® for suckling steer calves
    Simms, D.D.; Bolze, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    In order to evaluate whether a 72 mg Ralgro® dosage would improve growth response over 36 mg, 260 suckling steer calves on tow Kansas ranches were assigned to five implant treatments. In trial 1, 72 mg Ralgro® increased ...
  • Comparison of medicinal feed additives on health and growth performance of beef calves grazing native grass pasture
    Blasi, D.A.; Epp, M.P.; Greenwood, B. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Optimizing growth rate is an important contributor to overall profitability for stocker cattle grazing native Flint Hills pasture. Disease challenges from pinkeye and foot rot have traditionally been problems that ...
  • A comparison of selected breed crosses on growth rate during long-term grazing
    Riley, J.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1986)
    Brahman crossbred and Simmental crossbred calves gained similarly during a 312-day, native range grazing study. Longhorn crossbreds gained less than the Brahman or Simmental crosses but more than the British crossbreds, ...
  • Dry vs. wet ad libitum feeding of finishing swine
    Hines, R.H.; Vargas Vargas, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    Two hundred finishing pigs were used to evaluate wet vs. dryad libitum feeding. Growth rate of finishing pigs was significantly improved (5%) by wet feeding. Feed utilization was improved 4.5% by wet feeding. Dry feeder ...
  • Effect of Dexamethasone injection at birth on growth performance of pigs from birth to weaning
    Young, M.G.; Tokach, M.D.; Dritz, S.S.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2002)
    A total of 82 litters were used in a 21-day study to evaluate the effect of injecting litters of pigs with dexamethasone within 24 hours of birth on growth rate from birth to weaning. Experimental treatments consisted of ...
  • Effect of growth rate from birth through thirty months on performance of heifers
    Schalles, R.R.; Fleck, A.T.; Kiracofe, G.H.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    Heifers with faster gain the first and second winter (weaning to yearling and 18 months to 2 years old) had better production and reproduction than heifers with low or moderate gains. Gains during the first winter (weaning ...
  • Effect of processing temperature on utilization of whole soybeans by young calves
    Abdelgadir, I.O.; Morrill, J.L.; Stutts, J.A.; Morrill, B.; Johnson, D.E.; Behnke, K.C. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1984)
    Two trials were conducted to determine the optimum conditions for processing whole soybeans for young calves. In the first trial, laboratory procedures and a nitrogen balance study were used. This information was used ...
  • Effects of different feeding regimens on growth, longevity, and semen characteristics of working boars in a commercial AI stud
    Sulabo, R.C.; Quackenbush, J.; Goodband, R.D.; Tokach, M.D.; Dritz, S.S.; DeRouchey, J.M.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    The objective of the study was to determine the effects of 2 different feeding regimens on growth performance, semen production and quality, and longevity of boars in a commercial AI stud. A total of 30 replacement boars ...
  • Evaluation of antibacterial agents to improve growth rate and efficiency of weaned pigs
    Hines, R.H.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1971)
    Pigs medicated 5 weeks with TNA-290 and ASP-250 had statistically greater (P<.05) average daily gains and those medicated with ASP-250 had significantly (P<.05) lower feed conversion rations than non-medicated pigs. Feed ...
  • Evaluation of antibacterial preparations on growth rate and feed efficiency of young pigs
    Allee, G.L.; Hines, R.H.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1976)
    Ninety-six young pigs were used to evaluate various antibacterial preparations on rate and efficiency of gain. Each of the antibacterial preparations increased rate of gain over pigs fed the non-medicated basal diet. There ...
  • Evaluation of various antibiotics on growth rate and feed efficiency by finishing pigs
    Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1979)
    Two trials involving 300 finishing pigs (120-220 lbs.) were conducted to evaluate Tylan, Stafac, Lincomix, and Flavomycin by growth rate and feed efficiency. In trial I, none of the antibiotics improved growth rate or feed ...
  • Evaluation of various antibiotics on growth rate and feed efficiency of finishing pigs
    Allee, G.L.; Noll, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    We used 150 Yorkshire finishing pigs averaging 120 lbs initially to evaluate the following antibotics: Tylan, Stafac, Oleandomycin, and Flavomycin on rate and efficiency of gain. The trial ended when pigs within a replicate ...
  • Predicting growth rates of adult working boars in a commercial boar stud
    Sulabo, R.C.; Quackenbush, J.; Goodband, R.D.; Tokach, M.D.; Dritz, S.S.; DeRouchey, J.M.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2006)
    There is almost no information on ideal growth rates for adult boars, but estimates can be made if the relationship between boar weight and age is known. Therefore, this study was aimed to predict growth rates in adult ...
  • Using biotechnology to improve growth rate and carcass composition in swine
    Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)
    Biotechnology has developed a number of compounds that partition nutrients away from fat tissue deposition and towards lean (muscle) tissue accretion in swine. Two compounds that have received considerable research attention ...
