    Two silage bacterial inoculants from Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. were evaluated using second-cutting alfalfa. The Pioneer brand 1174® inoculant and a Pioneer experimental inoculant each increased the rate and ...
  • Effect of diet energy content and level of restriction on performance, nutrient digestibility, and puberty in replacement beef heifers
    Pope, R.V.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Stevenson, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    Eighty Angus × Hereford crossbred weanling heifers (548 lb) were used in a 2×2 factorial experiment to evaluate dietary energy concentration (NEg .51 vs .61 Mcal/lb) and intake restriction (to produce 1.25 and 2.0 ...
  • Effect of level of surface-spoiled silage on teh nutritive value of corn silage-based rations
    Whitlock, L.A.; Siefers, M.K.; Pope, R.V.; Brent, B.E.; Bolsenn, K.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Twelve ruminally cannulated crossbred steers were used to determine the effect of level of surface spoilage in corn silage-based rations on dry matter (DM) intake and nutrient digestibilities. Irrigated corn was ...
  • Effect of level of surface-spoiled silage on the nutritive value of corn silage-based rations
    Whitlock, L.A.; Wistuba, T.; Siefers, M.K.; Pope, R.V.; Brent, B.E.; Bolsen, K.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Twelve ruminally cannulated crossbred steers were used to determine the effects of level of surface-spoiled silages on dry matter (DM) intake and nutrient digestibilities of corn silage-based rations. Irrigated corn ...
  • Effect of physical form and level of alfalfa in corn-based diets for finishing steers
    Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Pope, R.V. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    One hundred-eighty British crossbred steers (760 lb) were used in a 3x2 factorially arranged experiment to evaluate the main effects of alfalfa form (chopped hay, dehydrated pellets, or a 50:50 mixture of hay:dehy) ...
  • Effects of a biological additive and sealing technique on the aerobic stability of whole-plant corn silage
    Uriarte, M.E.; Bolson, K.K.; Pope, R.V. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    The objectives of this whole-plant corn study were to determine the effects of a biological additive and sealing technique on yeast and mold populations; and to examine the relationship between the microbial and chemical ...
  • Effects of processing whole-plant corn silage on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in feedlot cattle
    Young, M.A.; Wistuba, T.J.; Siefers, M.K.; Turner, J.E.; Huck, G.L.; Pope, R.V.; Bolsen, K.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1998)
