  • Groundwater economics: an object-oriented foundation for integrated studies of irrigated agricultural systems
    Steward, David R.; Peterson, Jeffrey M.; Yang, Xiaoying; Bulatewicz, Tom; Herrera-Rodriguez, Mauricio; Mao, Dazhi; Hendricks, Nathan (2009)
    An integrated foundation is presented to study the impacts of external forcings on irrigated agricultural systems. Individually, models are presented that simulate groundwater hydrogeology and econometric farm level crop ...
  • Groundwater pumping by heterogeneous users
    Saak, Alexander E.; Peterson, Jeffrey M. (2012)
    Farm size is a significant determinant of both groundwater irrigated farm acreage and groundwater irrigation application rates per unit land area. This paper analyzes the patterns of groundwater exploitation when resource ...
  • Groundwater use under incomplete information
    Saak, Alexander; Peterson, Jeffrey M. (2007)
    This paper introduces a game theoretic model of groundwater extraction in a two-cell aquifer under incomplete information. A novel assumption is that individual users have incomplete knowledge of the speed of lateral flows ...
  • Growing - finishing rations supplemented with zinc - proteinate
    Koch, B.A.; Hines, R.H.; Kropf, D.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1968)
    The need for zinc in swine rations has been firmly established. Likewise the inter-relationships between dietary zinc and other minerals, especially calcium, have been well authenticated. However, there are still many ...
  • Growing rations of forage sorghum silage and alfalfa haylage
    Ilg, H.; Bolsen, K.; Dikeman, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Growing rations containing forage sorghum silage (FSS) or equal amounts of FSS and alfalfa haylage were fed to crossbred steer calves for 112 days. Steers consumed more of the FSS + haylage but rate and efficiency of ...
  • Growing vegetables and flowering plants in a greenhouse supplied with swine-building exhaust air
    Greig, J.K.; Spillman, C.K.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1982)
    Exhaust air from a Kansas State University swine-farrowing house provides CO2 and possibly other gases that are being used by vegetable plants in a KSU greenhouse. In addition, a rock-storage system reduces fuel requirements ...
  • Growing vegetables and flowering plants in a greenhouse supplied with swine-building exhaust air.
    Greig, J.K.; Spillman, C.K.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Exhaust air from a Kansas State University swine-finishing house provides C02 and possibly other gases that are being used by vegetable plants in a KSU green house. In addition, a rock-storage system reduces fuel requirements ...
  • Growth and feed efficiency of growing dairy replacement heifers supplemented with rimensin or bovatec
    Shirley, J.E.; Scheffel, M.; Park, A.; Smith, J.F.; Titgemeyer, E.C. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service., 1998)
    Ninety Holstein heifers were used to examine the effects of Rumensin® or Bovatec®. Average daily gain and feed efficiency was greater for heifers fed Rumensin® than for heifers fed Bovatec®. Heifers fed Rumensin® ...
  • Growth and microbiology of nonmedicated, segregated, early-weaned pigs
    Dritz, S.S.; Chengappa, M.M.; Nelssen, J.L.; Tokach, M.D.; Goodband, R.D.; Vorhies, M.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    Seventy pigs, 7 to 10 d of age, were randomly selected by litter of origin from a commercial farm in Northeast Kansas to compare the growth and microbiology of nonmedicated, segregated, early-weaned pigs to controls ...
  • Growth and reproductive characteristics in heifers fed endophyte-infected tall fescue and oxytetracycline
    Peters, C.W.; Brazle, F.K.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    Heifers developed on high-endophyte, tall fescue gained half as much weight (56 vs 117 lb; P<.01) and had a lower 35-day pregnancy rate (15 vs 58%; P<.01) compared to heifers fed low endophyte, tall fescue. Based ...
  • Growth of mixed and intact litters compared
    Hines, R.H.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1970)
    Mixing litters after weaning did not significantly affect rate of gain or efficiency of growing pigs. Weight gains were similar (1.57 or 1.49) for mixed litters and intact litters during a 28-day post-weaning trial.
  • Growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef steers implanted with component TE-S or component TE-S with Tylan
    Depenbusch, B.E.; Drouillard, J.S.; Dicke, B.; Erickson, G.E.; Klopfenstein, T.J.; Botts, R.T.; Anderson, P.T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2004)
    Component TE-S and Component TE-S with Tylan growth-promoting implants were compared in an experiment conducted at a commercial feedlot operation (Ward Feed Yard; Larned, Kansas) to evaluate effects on growth performance ...
  • Growth performance of nursery pigs fed biosaf in combination with in-feed antimicrobials
    Hildabrand, B.M.; Burkey, T.E.; Skjolaas, K.A.; Dritz, S.S.; Johnson, B.J.; Minton, J.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2006)
    Weaned pigs (n = 240; initial BW 13.5 lb) were used in a 28-d growth study. Pigs were blocked by sex and BW, and were assigned randomly to 1 of the 5 dietary treatments: control (no added antimicrobials or yeasts), Neo- ...
