    Beef and beef products are significant parts of a balanced diet in the U.S. and major parts of the Kansas economy. Therefore, these products must be carefully processed, handled, and monitored for microbial quality to ...
  • Behavior of beef cows grazing topographically rugged native range is influenced by mineral delivery system
    Sproul, N.A.; Olson, K.C.; Drouillard, J.S.; Jaeger, J.R.; Bolte, J.W.; Linden, D.R.; Kreikemeier, R.A.; Pacheco, L.A.; Thomas, M.D.; Higgins, J.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2008)
    Poor grazing distribution is a major problem on rangelands of the western United States. Grazing animals tend to congregate in areas near water, shade, and level terrain. These areas typically become overgrazed, while less ...
  • Beta acid extracts of hops have a modest effect on ruminal metabolism and apparent total tract digestibility by steers fed high- concentrate diets
    Uwituze, S.; Heidenreich, J.M.; Higgins, J.J.; Drouillard, J.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Hops have been used for centuries to control bacterial contamination in beer production. Today, alpha acids are extracted from hops for use in flavoring beer, leaving residues that are rich in beta acids. Beta acid ...
