    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1969)
    Swine testing stations "performance prove” breeding lines for genetic progress in the swine industry. The phenotype of a boar is a combination of his genetic ability and environment (nutrition, health, and etc.). Thus by ...

  • Tenderness and intramuscular lipid of most major muscles from Bos indicus cattle are less than Bos taurus cattle
    Highfill, C.M.; Font, O.E.; Dikeman, M.E.; Kropf, D.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2011)
    In semitropical climates in the United States, Bos indicus breeds of cattle, primarily the Brahman breed, are utilized in crossbreeding programs with Bos taurus cattle to improve productivity by increasing disease and ...
  • The Tenderometer as a tool for evaluating beef tenderness
    Dikeman, M.E.; Tuma, H.J.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Numerous instruments have been developed to objectively measure tenderness, an important eating characteristics of beef. The Kramer shear press and Warner-Bratzler shear show the best relationships to taste panel tenderness ...
  • Test weight affects the milling characteristics of grain sorghum
    Traylor, S.L.; Behnke, K.C.; Hancock, J.D.; Herrman, T.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    As test weight was reduced from normal to intermediate (i.e., from 58 to 52 lb/bu), little change occurred in milling characteristics of grain sorghum. However, as test weight was decreased from intermediate to light (52 ...
  • Testicular development and endocrine function in boars fed altrenogest
    Kluber, E.F. III; Minton, J.E.; Stevenson, J.S.; Davis, D.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1986)
    Crossbred male pigs were used to evaluate the influence of a synthetic progestogen on reproductive development. Concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone in blood serum were reduced while boars were being ...
  • Testing feedstuffs using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS)
    Dubois, P.C.; Harbers, L.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Over 16 years ago, an analytical instrument was developed that could rapidly determine the concentration of organic compounds from the spectra produced by the bonding between certain molecules. The instrument is based on ...
  • Testing the importance of jasmonate signalling in induction of plant defences upon cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae) attack
    Kuśnierczyk, Anna; Tran, Diem HT; Winge, Per; Jørstad, Tommy S.; Reese, John C.; Troczyńska, Joanna; Bones, Atle M. (2011)
    Background: Phloem-feeding aphids deprive plants of assimilates, but mostly manage to avoid causing themechanical tissue damage inflicted by chewing insects. Nevertheless, jasmonate signalling that is induced by infestation ...
  • Testosterone-treated cows to aid in heat detection
    Laaser, G.N.; Kiracofe, G.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Eight cull Hereford cows were given 200-mg. injections of testosterone proprionate repository (Haver-Lockhart, Shawnee, KS) every other day for 20 days (10 injections). Four cows were given weekly booster injections with ...
