  • Lactic acid, hot water, and microwave treatment to reduce natural microflora and pathogens in vacuum-packaged beef
    Kang, D.H.; Crozier-Dodson, B.A.; Jiang, G.; Shi, X.; Fung, D.Y.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Combined lactic acid (2%), hot water, and microwave treatments were used to reduce natural microflora and the pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes in vacuum-packaged ...
  • Limiting amino acids for growing cattle fed diets based on soybean hulls
    Greenwood, H.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Löest, C.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Ruminally cannulated Holstein steers were used in three nitrogen balance experiments to determine the sequence of limiting amino acids for growing steers fed soybean hull-based diets. The steers in all experiments were ...
  • Modeled, multistage convection cooking of beef semitendinosus roasts to denature collagen and to optimize tenderness
    Powell, T.H.; Dikeman, M.E.; Hunt, M.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    In order to predict and establish cooking times and temperatures of beef to optimize tenderness and cooked yield, a computer model was developed utilizing heat and mass transfer theories. We cooked beef semitendinosus (eye ...
  • Nutritional evaluation of corn and sorghum crop residues
    Blasi, D.A.; Taylor, R.K.; Kilgore, G.L.; Duncan, S.R.; Higgins, J.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Crop residue samples from 22 grazed and nongrazed corn and sorghum residue fields across Kansas were collected every 2 weeks during the 1997/98 winter feeding season to evaluate quality and yield. Corn residue ...
  • Performance of growing heifers fed prairie hay and supplemented with alfalfa and(or) cooked molasses blocks of different protein concentrations
    Titgemeyer, E.C.; Drouillard, J.S.; Bindel, D.J.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Crossbred heifers (683 lb; n = 175; 30 pens) were used to evaluate alfalfa and cooked molasses block supplementation to prairie hay. Treatments were arranged in a 2×3 factorial with the factors being 0 or 5 lbs of ...
  • Prevalence of ocular lesions in cattle from a Kansas sale barn
    Davidson, H.J.; Stokka, G.L.; Taul, T.B. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    This cross-sectional evaluation of cattle from a sale barn was completed to identify the prevalence of ocular lesions. A total of 100 cattle (91 cows and 9 bulls) was examined as they were being processed through a ...
  • Role of methionine as a methyl group donor in cattle
    Löest, C.A.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Greenwood, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Holstein steers were used in two 5 × 5 Latin square experiments to evaluate the sparing of methionine by alternative sources of methyl groups (betaine or choline). Steers were housed in metabolism crates and limit fed ...
  • Runoff compliance for Kansas cattle feedlots
    Murphy, J.P.; Harner, J.P. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    As the demand grows for cleaner water, feedlots will need to reduce and control the nutrient and sediment loading of runoff. Existing confined feedlots will need to evaluate their runoff potential. Costs of controlling ...
  • Sarcina ventriculi as the potential cause of abomasal bloat
    Schemm, T.J.; Nagaraja, T.G.; DeBey, B.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Sarcina-like bacteria, possibly Sarcina ventriculi, have been seen upon histopathologic examination of the abomasums of calves that died of abomasal bloat. The ability of the organism to grow at a low pH and produce large ...
  • Selection response for feed conversion and growth traits in polled Hereford cattle
    Glaze, J.B. Jr.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Direct and correlated responses to selection for improved feed conversion were estimated from performance records of 1459 Polled Hereford cattle born from the spring of 1967 through the spring of 1979. Data were ...
  • Sources of variability in fed-cattle grid pricing
    Graff, J.L.; Schroeder, T.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Price variability among carcasses increases with a change from live-weight to dressedweight to grid pricing. Grid pricing has the largest price variability, because the price for each carcass is influenced by all of ...
  • Soy molasses as a feed ingredient for finishing cattle
    Drouillard, J.S.; Schoenholz, C.K.; Hunter, R.D.; Nutsch, T.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Eighty Angus × Hereford cross steers were used in an individual feeding study to compare soybean molasses (a by-product of soybean meal manufacture) and soybean meal as ingredients in finishing diets containing flaked ...
  • Synchronizing estrus in replacement beef heifers using select synch, MGA, AND PGF2
