Daniel, Melissa Jean (Kansas State University, 2007)

Vitamin A (VA) restriction during finishing has been shown to increase marbling in cattle. However, little work has been done to look at the effects that VA restriction might have on color shelf-life and sensory traits ...
Effects of fat and pelleting on utilization of Vitamin A in pig feeds

Parrish, D.B.; Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Two tests were made. The first test was to determine effect pelleting feed has on utilization of vitamin A activity supplied by yellow corn. The second test was made on the effect that adding fat has on utilization of ...
