  • Haemophilus (actinobacillus) pleuropneumoniae infection in germfree piglets
    Anderson, N.V.; King, C.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1987)

  • Hard wheat compared to soft wheat for finishing swine
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1982)

  • Health considerations for the year 2000
    Connor, J.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1991)
    As the swine industry matures, profit margins will decrease. Control of the major factors affecting feed cost will drive the system. Upgrading or maintaining health will be a major emphasis, because disease agents and ...
  • Heat - extruded sorghum grain for growirig - finishing swine.

    This paper is a progress report of a research project initiated this past year designed to study the effects of heat and pressure processing of sorghum grain on the performance of swine. The theoretical reasoning behind ...
  • Hedging opportunities for feeder pig finishers
    Schroeder, T.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    This study examined the frequency of profitable, short, hedging opportunities that have been available to feeder pig finishers in recent years. The results indicate that there have been periods offering frequent opportunities ...
  • High nutrient-density diets for weanling pigs
    Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1986)
    The increased occurrence of early weaning (4 weeks of age or less) of pigs has resulted in increased problems with a postweaning "lag" in many commercial swine units. The nursery is the weak link of most commercial swine ...
  • High-moisture acid-treated milo for swine
    Allee, G.L.; Riley, J.; Koch, B.A.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1975)
    Two trials involving 105 finishing pigs (initial average weight 125 pounds) and 55 growing pigs (initial average weight 28 pounds) were conducted to determine the nutritional value of high-moisture, acid-treated milo in ...
  • High-moisture sorghum for growing-finishing swine
    Trotter, M.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1976)
    Eighty-seven crossbred pigs (averaging 95 pounds initially) were used to compare the value of sorghum grain harvested with high-moisture and stored in an oxygen-limiting structure with that harvested with high-moisture ...
  • High-moisture, acid-treated grain for finishing swine
    Allee, G.L.; Deyoe, C.W.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1972)
    The feeding value of high-moisture milo treated with organic acids for finishing swine was studied in two trials involving 56 pigs. There were no significant differences in daily gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, or ...
  • Historical economic returns to alternative swine enterprises in Kansas
    Jones, R.; Langemeier, M.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1997)
    This study examines historical net returns to average Kansas swine producers over the past 16 years. Swine production has been a profitable enterprise. As expected, average returns per head have been higher for ...
  • Hog Feeders?
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    During the past 6 yr, extensive research has been conducted at KSU to evaluate feeding systems and various types of wet and dry feeders. Comparisons have been made between timed-feeding and ad libitum feeding systems ...
  • Housing sows after weaning: re-establishment of estrus and subsequent reproduction
    Schmidt, W.E.; Davis, D.L.; Stevenson, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1983)
    We penned sows after weaning either in groups of 4 or 5 or individually in gestation stalls. Beginning 3 days after weaning sows were checked twice daily and artificially inseminated 24 and 36 hr after first detected ...
  • Hydrocortisone acetate-injected piglets have a larger pancreas and greater mucosal weight and lactase, maltase, and sucrose activities in the duodenum
    Kreikemeier, K.K.; Harmon, D.L.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    One litter of 12 piglets was used in a completely random design to evaluate the effects of hydrocortisone acetate injections on organ weight and carbohydrase activities. Dams' milk was the only food source available to the ...
  • The impact of selected hog carcass traits on prices received
    Mintert, J.; Dritz, S.; Schroeder, T.; Hedges, S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Hog producers can control the quality of the hogs they market. Through genetic selection and management, producers can have a large impact on hog carcass characteristics such as weight, backfat depth, and loin depth. ...
  • The importance of defining the method in particle size analysis by sieving
    Fahrenholz, A.C.; McKinney, L.J.; Wurth, C.E.; Behnke, K.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) publishes a standard for identifying particle size by sieving (ASABE S319.4). However, this standard includes a number of options that allow the test ...
  • Improved pork products for the 1990's
    Kropf, D.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
