  • Effect of morning vs evening feeding of limit-fed Holsteins during summer months
    Reinhardt, C.D.; Brandt, R.T. Jr. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Thirty-eight Holstein steers (avg 339 lb) were grouped into four weight blocks, with two pens per block. Within each block, cattle in one pen were fed at 8:00 a.m. and those in the other at 8:00 p.m. All cattle were ...
  • Effect of rumen-escape protein level on feedlot performance and carcass traits of implanted vs nonimplanted yearling steers
    Reinhardt, C.D.; Brandt, R.T. Jr. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    One hundred eighty yearling steers (743 lb) were blocked by weight; implanted with Synovex® (S), Synovex plus Finaplix® (SF), or not implanted (C); and fed diets containing 11.75% (L), 13.0% (M), or 14.25% (H) crude ...
  • The effect of sodium bicarbonate level on rumen metabolism in steers with induced subacute acidosis
    Shuey, S.A.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Gramlich, S.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Sodium bicarbonate at 1 or 2% of dry matter intake was evaluated as a means of alleviating subacute acidosis, using six fistulated Holstein steers in a controlled acidosis challenge model. Steers were feed challenged ...
  • Effects of alfalfa form and level on subacute acidosis
    Healy, B.J.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Gramlich, S.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Eight ruminally cannulated crossbred steers (1225 lb) were used to investigate the effects of 5 vs 10% alfalfa hay or pellets on rumen characteristics during subacute acidosis. Alfalfa hay was obtained from one source, ...
  • Effects of supplemental trace minerals and prevaccination on stressed calves
    Lindell, S.A.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Stokka, G.L.; Gramlich, S.M.; Milton, C.T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of high dietary levels of trace minerals on performance and health of stressed calves. In trial 1, 221 Brahman crossbred steers (674 l b, 1/8 to 1/4 Brahman) were used ...
  • Level of urea in high grain diets: finishing steer performance
    Milton, C.T.; Brandt, R.T. Jr. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Eighty-eight medium-framed crossbred steers (731 lb) were used to identify the optimal level of urea in finishing diets for growth and carcass traits. Diets contained no urea or .5, 1.0, or 1.5% urea (dry matter basis) ...
  • Level of urea in high grain diets: nutrient digestibility, microbial protein production, and rumen metabolism
    Milton, C.T.; Brandt, R.T. Jr. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Four ruminally and duodenally fistulated steers (1228 lb) were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to evaluate the effects of dietary urea level on nutrient digestion, microbial protein production, and rumen metabolism ...
  • Payout characteristics of anabolic agents from Synovex®, Finaplix®, and Revalor® implants in finishing yearling steers
    Hickman, P.S.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Henricks, D.M.; Stevenson, J.S.; Minton, J.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Forty, individually fed, yearling steers (750 lbs) were used to measure payout characteristics of different trenbolone acetate-containing implants and to correlate those characteristics to growth response. Treatments ...
  • Puberty and breeding performance of beef heifers developed at different rates of gain
    Minton, J.E.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Coughlin, C.M.; Cochran, R.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Crossbred heifers (546 lb initial body weight) were developed in drylot and limit-fed a corn, corn silage diet to gain .5 (n = 14), 1.0 (n = 15), 1.5 (n = 14), or 2.0 lb/d (n = 15) from Dec. 7, 1992 until the onset of ...
  • Roughage level and corn processing in finishing diets: subacute acidosis
    Shuey, S.A.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Gramlich, S.M.; Milton, C.T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Roughage level and method of corn processing were evaluated for the propensity to cause subacute acidosis in a controlled acidosis challenge model. Four ruminally fistulated steers were adapted to a high grain diet, ...
  • Roughage levels and comparison of mixed rations vs self-feeders in whole shelled corn finishing programs
    Milton, C.T.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Shuey, S.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Two trials were conducted to evaluate roughage levels in whole shelled-corn finishing diets and to compare use of self-feeders to a total mixed ration in a whole corn program. In trial 1, steers were fed whole corn ...
  • Source and level of crude protein for implanted finishing steers
    Milton, C.T.; Brandt, R.T. Jr. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    One hundred medium-framed, crossbred steers (738 lb) were used to compare non-protein nitrogen to natural protein supplementation of finishing diets for implanted steers. Diets were formulate d to contain 11.5 or 13.5% ...
