The maximum value of alfalfa meal in protein supplements for pigs on pasture.

Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-11-07)

Since pastures for swine are often poor, inadequate, or unavailable in Kansas, there is a growing appreciation of the value of alfalfa hay or meal in the rations of all swine brood sows (and pigs being fed for market). ...

Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F.; Ordoveza, A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

There has long been evidence that forages produced on different types of soil in the same general area give significantly different results when fed to animals. Further information is needed on the composition and ...
Project 110

Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-11-07)

A second experiment was conducted with fall pigs in the dry lot. Two lots of pigs were used. One lot received the RQ-20 in the protein mixture at the rate of 3 pounds to 600 pounds of supplement. The mixture was self-fed ...

Ratio of roughage to concentrate for fattening beef cattle-Summary

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

Four tests, one with steer calves and three with heifers, were conducted to study the ratio of roughage to concentrate in beef cattle fattening rations. Beef cattle are naturally large consumers of roughage and serve ...
The relationship of physical balance in the utilization of pelleted and nonpelleted rations for lambs.

Bell, T.D.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F.; Needham, J.W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

Lamb-fattening rations varying in proportions of roughages to concentrate have been studied in this project several years. In recent years much interest has been shown by commercial lamb feeders in completely pelleted ...
Relative value of carotenoid pigments of new-crop (1954) yellow corn and old-crop (1948-49 government stored) yellow corn and of dehydrated alfalfa for supplying the Vitamin A requirements of weanling pigs.

Parrish, D.B.; Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-11-07)

Question has been raised concerning the vitamin A potency of stored yellow corn. Samples of 1954 corn and 1948-49 stored corn were analyzed for provitamin A content by a separation and chemical determination of the ...
Sources of phosphorus for wintering beef heifer calves in dry lot.

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Menzies, C.S.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

In a previous test, it was found that phosphoric acid could be used as a source of phosphorus for beef heifers on dry bluestem pasture. A phosphorus balance study with lambs also indicated efficient utilization of ...
Stilbestrol in a guinea pig ration.

Wheat, J.D.; Menzies, C.S.; Holland, L.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

This study was to determine the response of young guinea pigs to stilbestrol added to the basic ration of ground oats, tankage, bonemeal, ground alfalfa hay, and freshly-cut, green alfalfa. Eight litters of guinea pigs, ...
Supplementing bluestem pasture after mid-summer with protein for two-year-old steers.

Smith, E.F.; Baker, F.H.; Cox, R.F.; Walker, G.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

The nutritive value of bluestem pasture usually declines after midsummer. This study is concerned with the effect of supplementing the grass after mid-summer with protein to determine if it will profitably increase steer ...
Supplements for yearling steers on bluestem pastures during the latter part of the grazing season.

Smith, E.F.; Baker, F.H.; Walker, G.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

The nutritive value of bluestem pasture usually declines rapidly after mid-summer. This test is an attempt to find ways to economically increase the rate of gain after mid-summer with small quantities of concentrate feed.
The use of live-yeast suspension in beef cattle rations.

Richardson, D.; Baker, F.H.; Harris, J.O.; Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F.; Bowman, O.M. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

The rumen, or paunch, of cattle and sheep normally contains innumerable microorganisms. It has long been recognized that these microscopic organisms help break down complex carbohydrates such as fiber and help synthesize ...
The value of ammoniated hydrol in beef cattle wintering rations.

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

Thirty Hereford heifer calves averaging about 400 pounds each were divided as ,equally as possible into three lots of 10 animals each. All lots received all the sorghum silage they would clean up each day. A mineral ...
