Efficacy of using parasitic wasps to control stable flies in Kansas feedlots

Greene, G.L.; Cilek, J.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

Release of parasitic wasps has resulted in stable fly reductions averaging 28, 42 and 38% for 1991, 1992, and 1993, respectively, with considerable variation from feedlot to feedlot. Costs for parasites plus ...
Estimates of genetic and phenotypic parameters for carcass and meat traits of beef cattle

Stafford, S.D.; Cochran, R.C.; Vanzant, E.S.; Fritz, J.O. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

Thirteen, ruminally fistulated, Angus × Hereford, yearling steers were used to evaluate the effect of feeding different types and amounts of supplements on t h e likelihood of observing a substitution of supplement ...
Factors influencing first-service conception and overall pregnancy rates in commercial beef heifers

Utter, S.D.; Houghton, P.L.; Corah, L.R.; Simms, D.D.; Spire, M.F.; Butine, M.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

Commercial beef heifers (n=1863) from 16 different sources were used to evaluate the influence of management practices and biological traits on first-service conception and overall pregnancy rates. Frame score, initial ...
Heritabilities and genetic correlations for birth weight, weaning weight, and yearling weight in polled Hereford cattle

Glaze, J.B.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

Performance data from a Polled Hereford herd selected for feed conversion were used in the calculation of heritabilities and genetic correlations for birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), and yearling weight ...
Heritabilities and genetic correlations for birth weight, weaning weight, and yearling weight in polled Hereford cattle

Glaze, J.B.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

Implanting suckling heifer calves: growth and subsequent performance

Simms, D.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

A total of 361, suckling, heifer calves was used over a 2-year period to assess the effects of implanting with either Ralgro® or Synovex-C® on growth and subsequent performance as replacement females. Both implants ...
In vitro dry matter digestibility of selected forage sorghum silages as influenced by plant parts

Sonon, R.N. Jr.; Bolsen, K.K.; Brent, B.E.; Harbers, L.H.; Boyer, John E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)

Eleven forage sorghum cultivars and one grain sorghum hybrid were used to determine the effect of individual plant parts on in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of sorghum silage. IVDMD was highest for the head ...
Influence of dietary energy levels on reproductive function and fertility in yearling beef heifers

Utter, S.D.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
