Adapting roughages varying in quality and curing processes to the nutrition of beef cattle. Comparative value of four varieties of forage sorghum silage for wintering weaned beef calves.

Boren, F.W.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

The production of sorghum silage in Kansas has, during the past 20 years, grown from an insignificant source of farm income to one of major proportions. The total value of sorghums produced for silage and forage is about ...
Adapting roughages varying in quality and curing processes to the nutrition of beef cattle. Performance of yearling beef heifers fed various ratios of sorghum grain to dehydrated alfalfa in pellet form.

Boren, F.W.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

This is the first year of an experiment designed to investigate the value of a complete pelleted ration for fattening cattle. Since Kansas has an abundance of sorghum grain and alfalfa, the 1960 study was designed to study ...
Artificially dried corn in cattle rations

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Boren, F.W.; Ward, J.K. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

With improved harvesting machinery, farmers tend to harvest grain earlier to prevent loss by lodging or inclement weather. This often results in grain being too high in moisture for normal storage, and means that it must ...
Cobalt bullets for beef cattle

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Brethour, J.R.; Koch, B.A.; Tsien, W.S.; Boren, F.W.; Carmack, B.D. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Cobalt is a trace mineral element which is essential to the health and well-being of animals. If it is deficient in the ration, it should be supplied. A cobalt bullet, which is placed in the rumen, was developed in Australia ...
Cobalt bullets or cobalt-fortified soybean oil meal for heifers on a finishing ration

Koch, R.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Boren, F.W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Twenty-seven head of Hereford heifers of good to choice quality were used in this trial. They previously had been used to study various winter treatments. Treatments were as follows: control lot. Cracked sorghum grain and ...
A comparison of feeding hay to steers on bluestem pasture and in drylot

Drake, C.L.; Smith, E.F.; Boren, F.W.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

This study was designed to compare winter bluestem pasture with drylot as a place to winter calves. The same ration, alfalfa and prairie hay, was fed to both groups.
Corn, sorghum grain, wheat, rye, and barley as concentrates in complete pelleted rations compared with a standard nonpelleted sorghum grain and alfalfa hay ration for self-feeding fattening lambs

Menzies, C.S.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Previous experiments at this station have shown that lambs fed complete pelleted rations make faster, more efficient gains than lambs fed similar nonpelleted rations, and that optimum results are obtained when pelleted ...
Different methods of managing bluestem pastures

Smith, E.F.; Anderson, K.L.; Koch, B.A.; Boren, F.W.; Drake, C.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

This experiment was designed to determine the effect of different stocking rates, of deferred grazing, and of pasture burning on cattle performance, productivity of pastures, and range condition as determined by plant ...
The effect of various milling processes on sorghum grain when used for finishing fall pigs in drylot

Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Six lots were self-fed, free choice, in drylot. All lots received a mixed animal and plant protein supplement of 4 parts tankage, 4 parts soybean meal, 1 part cottonseed meal, and 1 part alfalfa meal. Each ton of mixed ...
Effects of exercise and cooling on reproductive efficiency of ewes bred during summer months

Spies, H.G.; Menzies, C.S.; Smith, W.H.; Scott, S.P. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Failure of ewes to conceive during summer is one of the biggest problems affecting the early spring lamb producer. Workers at other stations have reported that 90 F temperatures lowered reproductive performance. This study ...
Effects of fat and pelleting on utilization of Vitamin A in pig feeds

Parrish, D.B.; Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Two tests were made. The first test was to determine effect pelleting feed has on utilization of vitamin A activity supplied by yellow corn. The second test was made on the effect that adding fat has on utilization of ...
Experimental grubicide application methods to control cattle grubs

Knapp, F.W.; McKee, M. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

During the past year a new grubicide application method has been tested for use in controlling cattle grubs. Called the pour-on method, it consists of pouring a small amount of a special formulation of systematic grubicide ...
Garden City lamb feeding experiments

Menzies, C.; Erhart, A.B. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

The 600 head of Rambouillet wether feeder lambs used in these tests were received at Menard, Texas, October 10, 1960. They were sorted from 1100 wether lambs raised by Page Brothers of El Dorado, Texas. Average purchase ...
Grain sorghum silage vs. forage sorghum silage; dehydrated alfalfa vs. Vitamin A, and the value of Aureomycin in cattle rations

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Boren, F.W.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

Two types of sorghum silage were used in this test. They were (1) DeKalb forage type which produced approximately 100 bushels of grain and 20 tons of silage per acre; and (2) RS610 grain type which produced approximately ...
Heritabilities, genetics, and phenotypic correlations between carcass and live animal traits in sheep

Menzies, C.; Hillman, M.; Wheat, J.D.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Merkel, R.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

This is a contributing project to the North Central-50 Regional Sheep Breeding Project. The Kansas State project was initiated in the spring of 1959 to determine relationships between various carcass measurements and live ...
Improvement of beef cattle through breeding methods

Smith, W.H.; Wheat, J.D. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

The purebred Shorthorn cattle breeding project was continued during 1960 according to the breeding program adopted when the study was initiated in 1949. Two inbred lines were established and have been continued. The Wernacre ...
Investigations of milk-fat lamb production practices for western Kansas

Menzies, C.; Banburry, E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

This sheep project was initiated in the spring of 1959 as a new research project at the Colby Branch Experiment Station in cooperation with the Department of Animal Husbandry, Kansas State University. One hundred fifty-one ...
The relation of feathering and overflow fat of lamb carcasses to the grade of the lamb, degree of marbling, and market value of the lamb

Mackintosh, D.L.; Merkel, R.A.; Menzies, C.S. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)

This project was undertaken in the spring of 1960 in an endeavor to determine the relationship, if any, of internal fats, overflow, and feathering to the degree of marbling in the longissimus dorsi muscle (eye muscle), the ...
Rolled vs. finely ground pelleted sorghum grain in cattle rations

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Boren, F.W.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)
