  • Application and potential of electrical stimulation
    Kastner, C.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    It has been known for years that electrical stimulation will improve tenderness of meat, but the technique only recently has gained considerable interest in the meat industry. Benjamin Franklin in 1749 observed that ...
  • Bioavailability of phosphorus in selected feedstuffs for pigs
    Huang, K.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)

  • Effect of temperature on performance of finishing swine
    Nichols, D.A.; Ames, D.R.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)
    We used 128 barrows averaging approximately 160 lbs. and temperatures of 32, 41, 50, 59, 68, 77, 86 and 95 F to study the effects of temperature on growth and efficiency. No significant differences in performance were ...
  • Effect of various levels of Ralgro on reproductive performance of yearling heifers
    Corah, L.; Sprott, L.R.; Francis, G.; Kiracofe, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Implanting heifers at weaning time with 12, 24, or 36 mg of Ralgro did not affect reproductive performance of the heifers when bred as yearlings.
  • Effects of artificial rearing and restricted nutrient intake during the first three weeks of life on later performance and carcass characteristics of pigs
    Allee, G.L.; Noll, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)
    Sixty pigs from nine 1itters were allotted, 24 hours after birth, by litter, sex, and birth weight to three treatments: A) sow reared, B) artificially reared and fed milk replacer ad libitum twice daily (artificially re ...
  • Effects of form of sulfa on medicated water consumption
    Schoneweis, D.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)
    Four-week old weaned pigs demonstrated a marked preference in medicated water consumption depending on form of sulfa. Medicated water consumption was greatly reduced when sulfamethazine was used. Sulfadimethoxine was the ...
  • Effects of location and crushing Ralgro implants on cattle performance (summary of three trials)
    Corah, L.R.; Plegge, S.D.; Francis, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Implanting at an alternate location (in the muscle or fat pad at the base of the ear) or crushing the pellets did not appear to cause side effects or adversely affect animal performance. However, implanting at the ...
  • The effects of Rumensin, protein, energy, and post-weaning illness on reproductive performance in replacement heifers
    Sprott, L.R.; Kiracofe, G.H.; Corah, L.R.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Rumensin increased the number of heifers cycling at 394 days of age and tended to decrease the weight at puberty, with no effect on conception or pregnancy. Rumensin also increased average daily gain, total weight change, ...
  • The effects on boar reproductive efficiency of exposure to females during rearing
    Nelssen, J.L.; Davis, D.L.; Craig, J.V.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1980)
    Thirty-two boars (16 littermates) were reared from 3½ to 5½ months in either an all-male group or with fence-line exposure to cycling sows and gilts. Exposure to females did not significantly increase testicle or accessory ...
  • Ensila Plus, Sila-lator, and Silo-Guard for alfalfa silage
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Four alfalfa silages (34 to 37% DM) were made May 30 and 31, 1979, as follows: 1) no additive (control), 2) 3 ounces of Ensila Plus per ton, 3) 1.0 lb of Si1a-1ator per ton, and 4) 1.5 1b of Silo-Guard per ton. Silos were ...
  • Factors influencing net income from steers through feedlot
    Schalles, R.R.; Zoellner, K.O.; Long, K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Calves that gained rapidly before going into the feedlot continued to gain rapidly on feed and were more profitable to both the cow-calf operator and the feeder. When fed to their genetic potential, large frame, heavy, young ...
