    Effects of late spring burning and nitrogen fertilization on nutritive value of Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardi) and Little Bluestem (Andropogon scoparis) on native rangeland were determined at monthly intervals during ...
  • Effects of organic acids on the preservation and feeding value of dry and high-moisture milo
    Cox, O.J.; Bolsen, K.K.; Riley, J.G.; Sauer, D.B. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
    The four milo treatments studied were: (1) artificially dried, (2) artificially dried+ organic acids, (3) high-moisture ensiled and (4) high-moisture + organic acids. The dry milo and high-moisture milo contained 14 and ...
  • Effects of supplemental lysine, methionine, and threonine on weanling pigs fed a low-protein milo-soybean meal diet
    Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1973)
    Three trials involving 331 weanling pigs (5 to 7 weeks old and weighing 20 to 33 pounds) were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing low-protein starter diets with crystalline amino aqids. In trials I and II, ...
  • Effects of various uterine treatments on calving-to-conception interval
    Kiracofe, G.; Brower, G.R.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1973)
    Cows were given intrauterine infusions of enzymes, antibacterials, bacteria, or a combination of enzymes and antibacterials after calving to study basic changes in the post-partum uterus and effect on rebreeding. The group ...
  • Efficacy of virginiamycin as a prophylactic drug to prevent swine dysentery
    Schoneweis, D.A.; Kennedy, G.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1973)
    Forty-eight feeder pigs were used in an experiment to determine Virginiamycin's effectiveness in preventing swine dysentery. Thirteen of 24 controls and one of 24 that received the antibiotic at either 25 or 50 grams per ...
  • Evaluation of a protective material to prevent abrasions and infections of joints in baby pigs
    Schoneweis, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1973)
    Streptococcal and staphylococcal infections increase with increases in central farrowing housing and cause serious losses in young pigs. The baby pig may be affected in many ways, such as growths on the heart valves; ...
  • Feed flavors in swine starter rations
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1973)
    Nursing litters given a choice of flavored or unflavored diets responded by consuming more flavored diet. Pre-weaning feeding did alter the preference patterns of the post-weaned pigs. Pigs fed only basal ration as creep ...
  • Four forage sorghum silage additives evaluated
