  • Variation in the digestiility of amino acids in soybean meal from a single processing plant
    Lee, D.J.; Hancock, J.D.; DeRouchey, J.M.; Maloney, C.A.; Dean, D.W.; Cao, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Digestibilities of amino acids among samples of soybean meal (SBM) collected during a fall harvest season (4 collections made 15 d apart) were similar, except that true digestibility from tryptophan was lower for a sample ...
  • Variation in the quality of forage grazed by pregnant/lactating beef cows at key periods in the year
    Vanzant, E.S.; Cochran, R.C.; Stanley, T.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    Seven ruminal and esophageally fistulated crossbred beef cows were used to monitor changes in chemical composition of tallgrass-prairie forage selected during November of 1989 and January, March, June, and August of ...
  • Variations in the ovsynch protocol alter pregnancy rates in lactating dairy cows
    Portaluppi, M.A.; Stevenson, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2003)
    Initiation of the Ovsynch protocol at random stages of the estrous cycle produces differences in synchronization and pregnancy rates. Use of two injections of PGF2α administered 14 days apart, with the second ...
  • Various estrus-synchronization programs for heifers
    Stevenson, J. S. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1997)
    Various programs of estrus synchronization have been tested during the last 6 years to determine the least costly and most efficacious for dairy heifer replacements. Four systems were tested: 1) a modified Ovsynch treatment ...
  • Various methods of cooling sows in outside lots
    Ames, D.; Pollmann, S.; Francis, G.; Nichols, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)
    Intermittent sprinkling in outside individual sow pens reduces the amount of water used to cool the sow without adversely affecting performance.
  • Varying amounts of alfalfa meal in the rations of spring pigs and in dry lot.
    Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1955)
    Summer of 1954 test with spring pigs was to get information on the maximum use of alfalfa meal in protein supplemental mixtures for pigs in the dry lot. Four lots of pigs were self-fed shelled corn and a mixed ...
  • Varying amounts of scabby wheat added to growing-finishing rations
    Koch, B.A.; Pollmann, D.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1982)
    Scabby wheat, infected with the fungus, Fusarium graminearum and grading No.4, replaced varying percentages of grain in a typical sorghum grain-soybean meal growing-finishing ration. Four pigs eating the control ration ...
  • Varying quantities of alfalfa meal in the rations of spring pigs and in the dry lot.
    Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1956)
    This experiment was conducted the summer of 1955 with spring pigs to obtain information on maximum use of alfalfa meal in protein supplemental mixtures for pigs in the dry lot. Four lots of pigs were self-fed shelled ...
  • Vegetative filters for improving environmental quality
    Harner, J.P.; Kalita, P.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
