    Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; McCarter, M.M. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1959)
    The steers used in this fattening trial were part of a larger group used in a wintering study reported on page 54 of Kansas Circular 358. At the beginning of the fattening period the ration was gradually changed from a ...
  • The use of tranquilizer compounds in wintering rations for steers.
    Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; McCartor, M.M. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1958)
    Recent experimental work with chemical tranquilizers has indicated that these substances may be of value in the fattening ration of beef cattle under certain conditions. Theoretically at least, the chemical tranquilizers ...
  • Use of video image analysis, ribeye grids, and linear ribeye measurements to predict and compare ribeye areas from carcass left and right sides

  • Using a mixture of cottonseed hulls and cottonseed meal to replace alfalfa hay in diets for stressed feeder calves
    Blasi, D.A.; Drouillard, J.S.; Farran, T.B.; Hunter, R.D.; Montgomery, S.P.; Sindt, J.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    One 28-day receiving experiment was conducted using 625 exotic × British cross heifers to evaluate growth performance and morbidity on receiving diets that contained either alfalfa hay or a pellet composed of 65% ...
  • Using a social-ecological model in development of treatment progams that target behavior change
    Shoemaker, C. A. (ISHS, 2010)
    Horticultural therapy and therapeutic horticulture programs often lack a clearly specified theoretical foundation or conceptual model, thus it is difficult to clearly articulate the outcomes a patient or client may experience ...
  • Using AI calving-ease bulls on replacement heifers
    Heikes, K.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1986)
    For maximal genetic progress in a dairy, proven AI sires should be selected to use on replacement heifers. To minimize problems at calving, these sires should be selected from bulls that are breed average or better for ...
  • Using Arsoy™ as a protein supplement in growing cattle diets
    Marston, T.T.; Kreikemeier, K.K.; Wankel, L.E.; Huck, G.L.; Wistuba, T.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Arsoy™ Soybean Feed is a by-product from the manufacture of soy protein isolate. It contains nearly 30% crude protein, but there is little documentation about its feeding value. Therefore, we fed basal growing diets ...
  • Using biotechnology to improve growth rate and carcass composition in swine
    Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)
    Biotechnology has developed a number of compounds that partition nutrients away from fat tissue deposition and towards lean (muscle) tissue accretion in swine. Two compounds that have received considerable research attention ...
  • Using exhaust air from a swine finishing house to grow vegetables and plants
    Greig, J.K.; Spillman, C.K.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)
    Exhaust air from a Kansas State University swine finishing house provides CO2 and possible other gases that are used by vegetable plants. In addition, a rock storage system reduces fuel requirements of the greenhouse. ...
  • Using heart girth to determine weight in finishing pigs
    Groesbeck, C.N.; Goodband, R.D.; DeRouchey, J.M.; Tokach, M.D.; Dritz, S.S.; Nelssen, J.L.; Lawrence, K.R.; Young, M.G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2002)
    Heart girth and body weight were measured on 100 growing-finishing pigs (50 to 273 lb) at the KSU Swine Teaching and Research Center. Heart girth, in inches, was measured using a cloth measuring tape. The tape was placed ...
  • Using immunological criteria to predict utilization of soybean proteins by the early-weaned pig
    Li, D.F.; Nelssen, J.L.; Reddy, P.G.; Blecha, Frank; Klemm, R.D.; Hancock, J.D.; Goodband, R.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
