  • Influence of early weaning and winter protein supplementation on weight and condition score of spring-calving beef cows grazing native tallgrass prairie
    Harborth, K.W.; Llewellyn, D.A.; Marston, T.T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    Ninety-two pregnant, mature, spring-calving cows grazing low-quality tallgrass-prairie were used to determine if early weaning of calves reduces the supplementation cost during the subsequent winter. Calves were weaned ...
  • Nutrient values for harvested forages from northeastern Kansas
    Marston, T.T.; Davis, D.L.; Wood, B.D.; Schaub, R.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    Forage testing is an important management tool available to cattle producers. Hay samples (n=42) from Shawnee, Douglas, and Osage counties of various forages (mostly alfalfa, brome hay, and prairie hay) recently were ...
  • Optimizing use of wet sorghum distiller’s grains with solubles in flaked-corn finishing diets
    Daubert, R.W.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Sindt, J.J.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Fox, J.T.; Greenquist, M.A.; Corrigan, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    A finishing trial was conducted using 637 heifers (initially 849 lb) to determine the optimal amount of wet sorghum distiller's grains with solubles (WDGS) in finishing diets containing steam-flaked corn. Dietary treatments ...
  • Response of heifers fed Optaflexx™ to supplemental protein
    Walker, D.K.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Drouillard, J.S.; Loe, E.R.; Depenbusch, B.E.; Webb, A.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    An experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between metabolizable protein supply and feeding Optaflexx™ (ractopamine-HCl) on growth and carcass characteristics of feedlot heifers. Seventy-two crossbred ...
  • Serological responses to IBR viral vaccine and Mannheimia haemolytica bacterin/leukotoxoid administered with needle-free injection technology
    Hollis, L.C.; Smith, J.F.; Johnson, B.J.; Kapil, S.; Mosier, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    Yearling steers were randomized to treatment and vaccinated with 5-way modified live viral vaccine and Mannheimia haemolytica bacterin/toxoid by using either needle-free or standard needle injection. Blood samples were ...
  • Survey of cooking practices and methods for beef steaks and roasts
    Franken, L.J.; Harvey, E.J.; Marsden, J.L.; Phebus, R.K.; Pearsall, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    To support the development of Good Manufacturing Practices for the use of mechanical tenderization in the meat processing industry, a questionnaire was distributed to home, retail, and institutional preparers of beef ...
  • Validation of process capabilities for directly acidified beef and venison containing beef snack sticks for control of E. Coli O157:H7
    Stoltenberg, S.K.; Getty, K.J.K.; Thippareddi, H.; Phebus, R.K.; Loughin, T.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    USDA/FSIS guidelines require sausage manufacturers to validate their processes to assure that they can achieve a five-log (99.999%) reduction of E. coli O157:H7. Some small meat processors use encapsulated acids instead ...
  • Yield of irrigated cool-season grasses in southwestern Kansas
    Hale, R.L.; Thompson, C.T.; Dumler, T.J.; Hampton, M.; Gold, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2005)
    Nine varieties and a commercial mix of perennial cool-season grasses were planted in four replicated plots in two counties in southwestern Kansas to evaluate yield and adaptability when produced under irrigation. The ...
