  • National forage survey results: trace mineral and related nutrient levels
    Corah, L.; Dargatz, D.; Peters, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    A National Forage Survey was conducted in 18 states to determine the trace mineral and related nutrient content of forages grown in the United States. Most forages sampled were harvested hays utilized as winter feed ...
  • Natural degradable protein and roughage type for implanted finishing steers fed dry-rolled corn diets
    Milton, C.T.; Brandt, Robert T., Jr.; Kuhl, G.L.; Titgemeyer, Evan C.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Three hundred eighty-four crossbred, yearling steers (810 lb) were used to evaluate soybean meal (SBM), sunflower meal (SFM), and combinations of the two as protein supplements and supplemental protein effects in diets ...
  • Performance of finishing steers offered magnesium-mica in the feedlot ration
    Coffey, K.P.; Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Forty-eight mixed-breed steers from two sources were used in a 141-day feedlot study to compare a control ration (C) with a ration containing magnesium-mica (MM; 9 lb/ton). No diet cattle source interactions were detected. ...
  • Pregnancy rates in heifers and suckled beef cows after synchronized ovulation using PGF2", GnRH, and norgestomet
    Hoffman, D.P.; Stevenson, Jeffrey S.; Krehbiel, C.L.; Nichols, David A.; McKee, R.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Suckled cows and virgin heifers received a novel treatment that included PGF 2", GnRH, and norgestomet, with the objective of inducing estrus in prepubertal heifers and anestrous suckled cows, as well as synchronizing ...
  • Sensory traits, color, and shelf life of low-dose irradiated beef steaks
    Luchsinger, S.E.; Kropf, Donald H.; Garc a Zepeda, C.M.; Marsden, James L.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Hollingsworth, M.E.; Stroda, Sally L.; Chambers, Edgar, IV; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Irradiation had minimal effects on flavor and texture of frozen or chilled vacuum-packaged boneless beef steaks. A dose level of 3.5 kilograys (kGy) reduced beef aroma in chilled steaks. Irradiation did not influence internal ...
  • Sensory traits, color, and shelf life of low-dose irradiated, precooked, ground beef patties
    Luchsinger, S.E.; Kropf, Donald H.; Garc a Zepeda, C.M.; Marsden, James L.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Hollingsworth, M.E.; Stroda, Sally L.; Chambers, Edgar, IV; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Irradiation did not influence bitter, bloody, burnt, chemical, fat-like, juiciness, liver-like, beef identity, metallic, rancid, sour, sweet, and toughness flavor/textural attributes, beef aroma, or off-odor in precooked ...
  • Sensory traits, color, and shelf life of low-dose irradiated, raw, ground beef patties
    Luchsinger, S.E.; Kropf, Donald H.; Garc a Zepeda, C.M.; Marsden, James L.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Hollingsworth, M.E.; Stroda, Sally L.; Chambers, Edgar, IV; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Irradiation of raw ground beef patties had minimal effects on flavor and aroma of patties after cooking. Oxidative rancidity increased when patties were irradiated in aerobic but not in vacuum packages. Irradiation of ...
  • Steam pasteurization of beef carcasses
    Schafer, D.E.; Prasai, R.K.; Nutsch, Abbey L.; Phebus, Randall K.; Wolf, John R.; Unruh, John A.; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    This research evaluated the effectiveness of a newly patented steam-pasteurization process for reducing bacterial populations on the surfaces of freshly slaughtered beef carcasses. The process was developed jointly by ...
  • Summary of grazing research on Kansas conservation reserve program land
    Langemeier, Michael R.; Ohlenbusch, P.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Animal performance and the net return per acre for four CRP research sites in Kansas in 1994 and 1995 were examined. Both mowing and prescribed burning increased animal performance in 1994. Mowing was economically feasible ...
  • Supplementing growing Holstein steers fed a corn-urea diet with a mixture of essential amino acids increases performance
    Wessels, R.H.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Six ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (550 lb) implanted with Revalor-S were infused abomasally with water or a mixture of six amino acids in a crossover experiment (two 14-day periods) to evaluate effects on nitrogen ...
  • Timing of gain does not alter puberty and reproductive performance of beef heifers fed a high-roughage diet
    Lynch, J.M.; Lamb, G.C.; Miller, B.L.; Minton, J. Ernest; Cochran, R.C.; Brandt, Robert T., Jr. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Eighty crossbred heifers (549 lb initial body weight) were developed in drylot and limit-fed a forage sorghum silage diet predicted to produce gains of either 1 lb/day for the entire developmental period (EVENGAIN) or ...
  • Using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy for rapid nutrient evaluation of sorghum silage
    Budiongo, K.J.; Harbers, L.H.; Seabourn, B.W.; Bolsen, K.K.; Brent, B.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    This research was designed to develop a set of prediction equations to measure nutrient composition of Kansas sorghum silages by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Because sorghum silages are highly variable ...
  • Variation in and effects of prefabrication fat trimming on yields and prediction equation accuracies of retail product and fat trim
    Cundiff, L.V.; Gregory, K.E.; Kemp, K.E.; Koch, R.M.; Dikeman, Michael E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1996)
    Carcass data from one side of 1,149 steers born from 1986 to 1990 were analyzed to develop means for carcass traits and retail product percentage by yield grades. Carcasses from 610 of these steers born from 1988 ...
