  • Presynchronizing Prostaglandin F2α injection before timed artificial insemination CO-Synch + CIDR program
    Hill, S.L.; Pulley, S.L.; Mellieon, H.I. Jr.; Olson, KC; Jaeger, J.R.; Breiner, R.A.; Perry, G.A.; Lamb, G.C.; Stevenson, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    Fixed-time artificial insemination is an effective management tool that reduces the labor associated with more conventional programs that require detection of estrus. The 7-day CO-Synch + controlled internal drug release ...
  • Relationships between feedlot health, average daily gain, and carcass traits of Angus steers
    Hands, M.L.; Reinhardt, C.D.; Marston, T.T.; Waggoner, J.W.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    Morbidity reduces performance and quality grade, but the effects of morbidity on quality grade independent of its effect on carcass fatness are rarely documented. As feedlot cattle fatten, a greater proportion of their ...
  • Spring burning of native tallgrass pastures influences diet composition of lactating and non-lactating beef cows
    Aubel, N.A.; Olson, KC; Jaeger, J.R.; Eckerle, G.J.; Pacheco, L.A.; Macek, M.J.; Mundell, L.R.; Murray, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    Diet selection is a dynamic process because of seasonal changes in animal and plant characteristics. Nutrient requirements of grazing animals are a function of physiological state; moreover, plant characteristics may be ...
  • Steam-generation cooking versus dry heat convection of beef roasts differing in connective tissue
    Bowers, L.J.; Dikeman, M.E.; Murray, L.; Stroda, S.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    Foodservice managers strive to control factors that affect yield, serving cost, and palatability of beef. Beef roasts are traditionally roasted at temperatures from 325°F to 350°F for both home and institutional use. ...
  • Time of onset, location, and duration of lameness in beef cattle in a commercial feedyard
    Green, T.M.; Thomson, D.U.; Wileman, B.W.; Guichon, P.T.; Reinhardt, C.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    Bovine lameness presents itself in a variety of forms. A number of predisposing factors have been reported, such as increased amounts of wet feces and mud from high rainfall; limb trauma from rocks, sticks, or handling ...
  • Vaccinating with SRP E. coli does not affect feeder cattle performance, health, or carcass characteristics
    Rezac, D.J.; Thomson, D.U.; Butler, B.A.; Wileman, B.W.; Reinhardt, C.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    Siderophore-receptor and porin-based (SRP) Escherichia coli vaccine technology functions by starving the E. coli organism via competitive exclusion for proteins that scavenge iron, an essential nutrient for E. coli ...
  • Zilmax alters blood constituents of finishing cattle
    Van Bibber, C.L.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012)
    The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of Zilmax (Merck Animal Health, Summit, NJ) on changes in blood metabolites. Zilmax is a feed additive designed to improve production efficiency in cattle when ...
