Three field trials were conducted with finishing yearling steers to compare the performance of cattle receiving Compudose® or Ralgro®/Synovex-S® and Synovex-S®/Synovex-S® reimplant combinations. No differences were found ...
Detection of elastin, collagen, and cartilage particles in ground beef by enzyme digestion and sensory analysis

Whipple, G.; Axe, J.B.; Goll, S.; Kastner, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

An enzyme digestion technique was developed using a proteolytic enzyme concentrate to quantitate connective tissue particles in ground beef samples, which had been formulated to contain various amounts of connective ...
Effect of Bovatec® level in supplemental feed on performance and forage utilization characteristics of wintering beef cattle

Cochran, R.C.; Corah, L.R.; Jacques, K.A.; Avery, T.B.; Zoellner, K.O.; Higginbotham, J.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

Various levels of lasalocid (Bovatec®) added to a protein supplement did not improve weight or condition change of beef cows grazing poor quality winter pasture. Similarly, calf birth weight and most forage utilization ...
Effect of commercial inoculants on the fermentation of alfalfa, corn, forage sorghum, and triticale silages

Bolsen, K.; Fung, D.; Ilg, H.; Laytimi, A.; Hart, R.; Chain, V.; Nuzback, L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

Fourteen commercial inoculants were evaluated in seven trials using alfalfa, corn, forage sorghum, and triticale silages. Microbial profiles of the inoculants and of the crops differed widely. Viable lactic acid bacteria ...
Effect of environmental temperature and an inoculant on the fermentation of forage sorghum silage

Bolsen, K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

The inoculants, BioPower®, increased the rate and efficiency of ensiling in Acco Paymaster 351 forage sorghum regardless of storage temperature. The untreated, 60 F silage fermentated slower and had higher pH, lower ...
Effect of limited-creep feeding calves of spring-calving cows grazing native grass

Brazle, F.; Kuhl, G.; Corah, L.; Zoellner, K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

Two limited-creep feeding trials were conducted with spring-born, suckling calves on native grass. The high-energy creep rations containing an ionophore were fed during the last 63 or 85 days before weaning in the two ...
Effect of maturity at harvest on yield, composition, and feeding value of forage and grain sorghum silages

Hamma, S.; Kirch, B.; Downey, B.; White, J.; Bolsen, K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

In the last 2 years, three trials were conducted to determine the influence of hybrid and stage of maturity at harvest on silage yield, composition, and nutritive value for 15 forage and nine grain sorghum hybrids. ...
Effect of several spaying methods on grazing heifer gains

Kuhl, G.; Goehring, T.; Ritter, B.; Laudert, S.; McCully, W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

Several spaying and ovarian autografting methods were tested in three field trials with 658 grazing heifers. None of the techniques examined were found to have a beneficial effect on heifer gains compared to intact ...
Effect of sprouting and weather damage on feeding value of grain sorghum (summary of beef, swine, and poultry trials)

Turlington, H.; Allee, G.; Riley, J.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

Grain sorghum officially graded as 39% damaged (sprouted) with 10% broken kernels or foreign material was fed to beef steers, growing swine, and broilers to compare its feeding value to that of normal grain sorghum. ...
Effect of stocker receiving diet on subsequent pasture gains

Brazle, F.; Kuhl, G.; Harmon, D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)
