  • Impacts of corn and fed-cattle prices on price slides for feeder cattle
    Dhuyvetter, K.C.; Schroeder, T.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Several important determinants need to be considered when analyzing price slides (priceweight relationships) for feeder cattle. The two most economically important determinants of price-weight slides are expected ...
  • In vitro degradation of betaine by ruminal microbes
    Löest, C.A.; Armendariz, C.K.; Titgemeyer, E.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    An in vitro study was conducted to evaluate the degradation of betaine sources by rumen microbes. Five sources of betaine (anhydrous betaine, betaine-HCl, feed-grade betaine, lipidcoated betaine, and concentrated ...
  • Increasing levels of Rumensin® in limit-fed, high energy, growing diets for beef steers and effects on subsequent finishing performance
    Montgomery, S.P.; Drouillard, J.S.; Sindt, J.J.; Farran, T.B.; LaBrune, H.J.; Hunter, R.D.; Higgins, J.J.; Nutsch, T.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    One hundred sixty-four crossbred beef steers were used to determine optimal Rumensin ® concentrations in limit-fed, high-energy, growing diets. Diets contained 30, 40, or 50 grams of Rumensin per ton of dry matter ...
  • Integrated control of Sericea lespedeza in Kansas
    Fick, W.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Two experiments were conducted near Maple Hill, KS in 1998 to compare the effectiveness of herbicides and mowing used alone and in combination for control of sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata). Remedy® at 0.5 lb/acre ...
  • Limiting amino acids for Holstein steers fed soybean hull-based diets
    Greenwood, R.H.; Titgemeyer, E.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    A study was conducted to determine the limiting amino acids for cattle fed soybean hullbased diets. Ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (335 lb) were maintained in metabolism crates, fed the same basal diet (73% ...
  • Measuring the finishing performance of steers and heifers
    Langemeier, M.; Jones, R.; Kuhl, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    This study examined improvements in the finishing performance of steers and heifers from 1990 to 1998 by measuring the rate of technological change. The rates of technological change were 0.58% per year for finishing ...
  • Quality and display life of chilled or frozen all-natural beef and beef-buffalo frankfurters
    Limsupavanich, R.; Boyle, E.A.E.; Kropf, D.H.; Hachmeister, K.A.; Loughin, T.M.; Boland, M.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Chilled (35±3°F) or frozen (0±3°F) all-natural beef and beef-buffalo frankfurters made with or without sodium nitrite (NaNO2) were evaluated. Treatments included frankfurters made with: all-natural beef without NaNO2 ...
  • Refractive index: a rapid method for determination of starch availability in grains
    Sindt, J.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Montgomery, S.P.; Farran, T.B. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Steam-flaked corn samples were used in a series of experiments to determine if refractive index could be used as a rapid, inexpensive method to predict starch availability. Results were best when samples were incubated ...
  • Relationship of plasma glucose to performance and carcass traits in finishing cattle
    LaBrune, H.J.; Drouillard, J.S.; Bindel, D.J.; Coetzer, C.C.; Löest, C.A.; Hunter, R.D.; Higgins, J.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    Blood glucose levels of finishing cattle were measured between 3 and 30 days prior to slaughter and compared to performance and carcass traits. In trial 1, blood samples were obtained from 318 heifers at 2 hours ...
  • Supplemental progestin increases pregnancy rates in suckled beef cows
    Stevenson, J.S.; Lamb, G.C.; Grieger, D.M.; Cartmill, J.A.; Hensley, B.A.; El-Zarkouny, S.E.; Marple, T.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    In two experiments, combining a source of progestin with the ovulation synchronization protocol using gonadotropin-releasing hormone plus prostaglandin F2a (GnRH + PGF2a) tended to increase or statistically increase ...
  • Supplementation strategies for forage-fed beef steers
    Drouillard, J.S.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A.; Blasi, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    A comparison was made of different supplementation strategies for steer calves wintered on brome hay for 109 days. Treatments consisted of no supplement, 1.33 lb/head daily of a 30% protein range cube, a commercially ...
