  • Application and potential of electrical stimulation
    Kastner, C.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)

    A total of 350 crossbred pigs (9.0 ± 2 d old and 8.4 lb +f- 2.5 BW) was used to determine the appropriate methionine: lysine ratio in diets for the segregated early-weaned pig. Two lysine levels (1.8 and 1.4%) and five ...
  • Apramycin for the early-weaned pig
    Nelssen, J.L.; Allee, G.L.; Thaler, R.C.; Turlington, W.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)
    A total of 108 21-day-old pigs, weighing less than 10 lb, were utilized in two, 28-day trials to compare the effects of feeding high nutrient-density diets with either added apramycin, neomycin, or carbadox on pig performance. ...
  • Arsanilic acid in growing-finishing swine rations
    Koch, B.A.; Nam, T. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963)
    Arsanilic acid is one of many feed additives approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in swine rations. Results from an uncontrolled feeding demonstration suggested that arsanilic acid effectively increased ...
  • Arthrogryposis in piglets
    Leipold, H.W.; Ely, R.; Schoneweis, D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    This report documents experimental reproduction of tetramelic arthrogryposis in purebred Yorkshire swine by breeding trials. Data from the trials indigated arthrogryposis may be due to homozygosity of a simple autosomal ...
  • Artificial rearing of baby pigs with twice-a-day feeding and cow colostrum
    Noll, M.T.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1979)
    Four experiments involving 140 pigs were conducted to evaluate cow colostrum and twice-a-day feeding in artificial rearing of baby pigs. Piglets were allowed to nurse the sow for 15 hours after birth and allotted by litter ...
  • Artificially dried corn in cattle rations
    Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Boren, F.W.; Ward, J.K. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)
    With improved harvesting machinery, farmers tend to harvest grain earlier to prevent loss by lodging or inclement weather. This often results in grain being too high in moisture for normal storage, and means that it must ...
  • Ascorbic acid and ground beef display life
    Shivas, S.D.; Kropf, D.H.; Kastner, C.L.; Hunt, M.C.; Kendell, J.L.A.; Dayton, A.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Adding .05 and .10% ascorbic acid to ground beef resulted in brighter color and longer display life, more intense taste panel beef flavor and less rancidity. Those advantages should encourage centralized retail cutting and ...
