    Grazing stocker cattle on low-quality forages is a common practice in Kansas; however, animal performance typically is modest. Due to the increasing availability of ethanol co-products, producers may be able to use dried ...
  • Supplementing feedlot steers and heifers with Zilmax increases proportions of strip loin, chuck clod, and top sirloin steaks exceeding Warner-Bratzler shear force thresholds, whereas aging moderates this effect

  • Supplementing fructose-based block supplements to forage-fed cattle increases capacity for lactic acid metabolism
    Miller, K.A.; Quinn, M.J.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Acidosis is one of the more important maladies afflicting cattle fed significant amounts of grain and has enormous economic impact for feedlots, dairies, and producers of seed stock. The highest incidence of acidosis ...
  • Supplementing growing Holstein steers fed a corn-urea diet with a mixture of essential amino acids increases performance
    Wessels, R.H.; Titgemeyer, E.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Six ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (550 lb) implanted with Revalor-S were infused abomasally with water or a mixture of six amino acids in a crossover experiment (two 14-day periods) to evaluate effects on nitrogen ...
  • Supplementing prairie hay rations with urea and trace minerals
