Calcium oxalate crystals in feedstuffs

Harbers, L.H.; Ward, G.M.; Kahrs, A.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2010-12-14)

Alfalfa, clovers, soybean meal and cottonseed meal have part of their calcium tied up as insoluble calcium oxalate. The oxalate crystals are relatively unavailable to animals and could be an important consideration in ...
Calcium phosphorus levels for developing boars

Greer, J.G.; Davis, Duane L.; Hines, Robert H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-05-07)

Forty-two boars averaging 67 lbs. were used to study how various levels of calcium and phosphorus in their feed affected their development. Calcium-to phosphorus ratios of 1.2 to 1 were maintained in all treatment diets, ...

Calculating feed costs with alternative lysine diets for high-lean growth gilts

Friesen, K.G.; Boland, Michael A.; Schinckel, A.P.; Nelssen, Jim L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-03-26)

Data from two experiments were used to determine the feed cost per I of lean gain for high-lean growth gilts fed various digestible lysine levels (.54 to 1.04%). The cost for producing 1 lb of lean increased as live weight ...
Calf health and performance during receiving is not changed by fence-line preconditioning on flint hills range vs. drylot preconditioning

Bailey, E.A.; Preedy, G.W.; Pacheco, L.A.; Jaeger, John R.; Waggoner, Justin W.; Olson, K. C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2013-03-19)

Ranch-of-origin preconditioning can improve the welfare and performance of beef calves by decreasing the stress associated with weaning, transport, diet change, and commingling with other calves. Preconditioning methods ...
Calf presence and milking twice daily prolongs postpartum anestrus

Lamb, G.C.; Lynch, L.M.; Stevenson, Jeffrey S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-09-03)

Four treatments were initiated approximately 15 days after calving: 1) calf was weaned permanently from its dam (CW; n=6); 2) calf was present continuously with its dam (CPO; n=5); 3) calf was weaned permanently from its ...
Calves delay estrus cycles in postpartum cows by mechanisms other than suckling

Viker, S.D.; Kiracofe, G.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-11-02)

It is generally accepted that the suckling stimulus and the interactions between lactation and level of nutrition regulate the interval from calving to cycling in beef cows. However, rnastectomized cows (udder removed) ...
Calving and reproductive performance of Angus x Hereford and Brahman x Hereford heifers fed to prebreeding target weights

Patterson, D.J.; Corah, L.R.; Brethour, J.R.; Negus, W.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-01)

The effect of heifer development on first calving and subsequent reproductive performance was evaluated in Angus x Hereford (AxH) and Brahman x Hereford (BxH) females. Heifers were fed to reach either 55% or 65% of ...
Can "natural" flavorings enhance the flavor of low-fat ground beef?

Carmack, C.F.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Kropf, Donald H.; Schwenke, J.R.; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-05)

Natural flavorings were evaluated for use in low-fat ground beef, which frequently lacks flavor intensity. Three lean sources, A-maturity (young), E-maturity (mature cow), and imported (cow) beef round muscles, were used ...
Can augers be used to blend diets on the farm?

Johnston, S.L.; Hines, Robert H.; Traylor, S.L.; Hancock, Joe D.; Behnke, Keith C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-03-12)

Growing/finishing gilts were fed two-, three-, four-, or five-phase diet regimens from 77 to 276 lb. The diets were mixed in either a conventional, horizontal ribbon mixer or a 9 ft auger. No interactions occurred among ...
Cane molasses and hemicelluloses extract (wood molasses) in rations for finishing steers. The value of shelter for finishing cattle

Pfost, H.B.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Boren, Fred W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-04-28)

the only variable planned in the diet was type of molasses, which composed 16% of the self-fed roughage-concentrate mixture. Cane molasses was used in two lots; hemicelluloses extract in two lots. The self-fed roughage-concentrate ...
Cane molasses in rations of growing beef calves. The value of winter shelter for feedlot calves

Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Deyoe, C.W.; Curtis, R.G.; Boren, Fred W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-05-04)

Choice grade Hereford steer calves in this test came from near Alden, Kansas, and were assigned to treatments on a random-weight basis. All lots received the same experimental diet except 10 percent molasses was substituted ...
Capacity of the bovine intestinal mucus and its components to support Escherichia coli O157:H7 growth

Aperce, C.; Heidenreich, J.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2011-03-17)

Escherichia coli O157:H7 contamination of human food products is a major concern for the beef industry. The pathogens responsible for outbreaks often originate from cattle, and E. coli O157:H7 can thrive in healthy cattle. ...
