The Select Synch protocol (GnRH at day - 7, PGF2 at day 0, AI at detected heat) was compared to protocols using either MGA + prostaglandin (Colorado system) or two injections of prostaglandin to synchronize estrus ...
Soy molasses as a feed ingredient for finishing cattle

Schoenholz, C.K.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Eighty Angus × Hereford cross steers were used in an individual feeding study to compare soybean molasses (a by-product of soybean meal manufacture) and soybean meal as ingredients in finishing diets containing flaked ...
Sources of variability in fed-cattle grid pricing

Graff, J.L.; Schroeder, Ted C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Price variability among carcasses increases with a change from live-weight to dressedweight to grid pricing. Grid pricing has the largest price variability, because the price for each carcass is influenced by all of ...
Selection response for feed conversion and growth traits in polled Hereford cattle

Glaze, J.B. Jr.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Direct and correlated responses to selection for improved feed conversion were estimated from performance records of 1459 Polled Hereford cattle born from the spring of 1967 through the spring of 1979. Data were ...
Sarcina ventriculi as the potential cause of abomasal bloat

Schemm, T.J.; DeBey, B.M.; Nagaraja, T. G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Sarcina-like bacteria, possibly Sarcina ventriculi, have been seen upon histopathologic examination of the abomasums of calves that died of abomasal bloat. The ability of the organism to grow at a low pH and produce large ...
Runoff compliance for Kansas cattle feedlots

Murphy, James P.; Harner, Joseph P. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

As the demand grows for cleaner water, feedlots will need to reduce and control the nutrient and sediment loading of runoff. Existing confined feedlots will need to evaluate their runoff potential. Costs of controlling ...
Role of methionine as a methyl group donor in cattle

Löest, C.A.; Greenwood, R.H.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Holstein steers were used in two 5 × 5 Latin square experiments to evaluate the sparing of methionine by alternative sources of methyl groups (betaine or choline). Steers were housed in metabolism crates and limit fed ...
Prevalence of ocular lesions in cattle from a Kansas sale barn

Davidson, H.J.; Stokka, Gerald L.; Taul, Tom (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

This cross-sectional evaluation of cattle from a sale barn was completed to identify the prevalence of ocular lesions. A total of 100 cattle (91 cows and 9 bulls) was examined as they were being processed through a ...
Performance of growing heifers fed prairie hay and supplemented with alfalfa and(or) cooked molasses blocks of different protein concentrations

Bindel, D.J.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.; Titgemeyer, Evan C.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-24)

Crossbred heifers (683 lb; n = 175; 30 pens) were used to evaluate alfalfa and cooked molasses block supplementation to prairie hay. Treatments were arranged in a 2×3 factorial with the factors being 0 or 5 lbs of ...
