Sixteen ruminally fistulated steers were used to study the effects of supplemental alfalfa level (.25 or 1.0% body weight [BW]) and method of processing (hay or pellets) on wheat straw utilization. Response to increased ...
Effect of mass medication on the health and gain of calves in grass paddocks or feedlot pens

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

Four hundred and ninety mixed-breed, long-hauled, bull calves averaging 275 lb were used in a winter study to determine whether mass medicating calves in grass paddocks or feedlot pens would reduce health problems ...
Effect of molybdenum/sulfur-induced copper deficiency upon enzyme levels and reproduction in heifers

Arthington, J.D.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

To evaluate the effects of molybdenum (Mo)- and sulfur (S)- induced copper (Cu) deficiency, 99 prepubertal heifers were allotted into two groups. Treated heifers (n = 72) were fed a grass hay naturally high in Mo (Mo ...
Effect of physical form and level of alfalfa in corn-based diets on performance of finishing steers

Healy, B.J.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Gramlich, S.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

One hundred forty-four crossbred steers (850 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of physical form and level of average (15% CP) quality alfalfa on performance and carcass traits. Alfalfa hay had been harvested from ...
Effect of protein concentration in supplements and frequency of supplementation on the performance of beef cows grazing dormant bluestem range

Beaty, J.L.; Cochran, R.C.; Vanzant, E.S.; Morrill, J.L.; Brandt, R.T. Jr; Johnson, D.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

One hundred twenty-eight, pregnant, Angus × Hereford cows were used to determine whether response to altering frequency of winter range supplementation depends on the protein concentration in the supplements. Supplements ...
Effect of supplemental fat and thermal stress on nitrogen and energy metabolism of finishing heifers

Jones, T.J.; Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Williams, J.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

Twelve British and British crossed heifers fed whole shelled corn finishing diets were used in a 2 × 2 factorially arranged experiment to study the main effects of and interactions between feeding supplemental tallow ...
Effect of Zinpro 100® in a mineral mixture on gain and incidence of footrot in steers grazing native grass pastures

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

In a 3-year study, crossbred steers averaging 585 lb were allotted to groups given either a control or zinc methionine-supplemented mineral mixture while grazing burned native pastures in early summer. The steers were ...
Effect on summer stocker gains when native grass pastures were either grazed short during the dormant season or burned in April

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

Four hundred and ten mixed-breed heifers were intensively early grazed for 81 days on native tall grass pastures where dormant growth had been removed by either winter grazing or April burning. Heifers grazing the burned ...
Effects of hybrid, growing condition, storage time, and Pioneer 1174® silage inoculant on agronomic performance and nutritive value of wholeplant corn and grain sorghum silages

Suazo, R.; Sonon, R.N.; Bolsen, K.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

In 1989, two Pioneer corn hybrids, 3377 and 3389, were grown under irrigation and harvested at 80% milk line kernel maturity. Voluntary intakes and ADF digestibilities were similar for all hybrid, inoculant, and ...
Endophyte-infected, tall fescue hay utilization by exercised, yearling horses

Pendergraft, J.S.; Arns, M.J.; Raub, R.H.; Bolsen, K.K.; Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)

Fescue toxicity causes substantial production losses in sheep, cattle, and horses. These losses are attributed to an endophyte, Acremonium coenophialum. However, our results indicate that Quarter horse yearlings can ...
