  • Comparison of feeding systems for finishing swine
    Hines, R.H.; Vargas Vargas, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Two feeding trials using 240 finishing pigs were conducted to evaluate meal feeding and ad libitum dry and wet feeding. Growth rate was significantly improved by wet feeding in trial 1. Overall, a 5% improvement in growth ...
  • Comparison of Synovex-S and STEER-oid implants for feedlot steers
    Lee, B.; Laudert, S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Synovex-S and STEER-oid were compared in a 133-day finishing trial to evaluate their effects on growth and carcass traits of yearling steers. No significant differences in average daily gain, feed intake, feed to gain ...
  • Consumer preference of beef rib steaks from implanted steers, implanted and non-implanted bulls.
    Pelton, C.D.; Allen, D.M.; Corah, L.R.; Milliken, G.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Our research showed that implanting bulls from birth to slaughter made steaks from bulls as acceptable as steers to consumer panels. Implanting bulls from weaning to slaughter resulted in the least desirable consumer panel ...
  • Creep feeding and phytohemagglutinin skin-test responses in pigs
    Blecha, Frank; Pollmann, D.S.; VanWormer, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of creep feeding on cellular immunity in young pigs. Creep feeding from 10 days of age to weaning did not influence phytohemagglutinin skin-test responses.
  • CULBAC® and ADD-F® (formic acid) additives for sudangrass and high moisture shelled corn silages
    Bolsen, K.; Hinds, M.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Laboratory silos were used in three trials to evaluate sudangrass (slightly or moderately wilted) and high moisture corn silages, each receiving the following treatments: (1) control (no additive); (2) CULBAC® dry; (3) ...
  • Description of the degree of nonuniqueness in inverse source problems
    Ramm, Alexander G. (1984)
    For time-independent and time-dependent inverse source problems the degree of nonuniqueness of solutions is characterized.
  • Development of an early weaning program for dairy calves
    Morrill, J.L.; Dayton, A.D.; Zmolek, A.J.; Vitcenda, M.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1984)
    After preliminary experiments, four trials were conducted to develop and test a new feeding program for calves. The program involves the use of a special feed (a prestarter) to encourage calves to eat dry feed and to ...
  • Digestibility of fat sources by growing pigs
    Li, De-Fa; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    A digestion trial was conducted with 12 crossbred barrows averaging 48 lb to evaluate the digestibility of various fat sources. Fat sources evaluated were soybean oil, a 85% dry fat product composed of animal and vegetable ...
