Effect of castration method on stocker health and gain

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)

Two field trials were conducted to compare two different band-castration techniques with surgical castration of calves and yearlings. In Trial I, the bull calves were surgically castrated or banded with Elastrator® rubber ...
Effect of deworming with Ivomec® on reproductive performance of yearling beef heifers

Larson, R.L.; Corah, L.R.; Spire, M.F.; Cochran, R.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)

To determine the effect of deworming fallborn yearling heifers on reproductive parameters, 78 heifers were allotted to a either Ivomec® or control treatments. The heifers were dewormed in June and October when they ...
Effect of feed additives on shipping shrinkage of yearling heifers

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)

Two studies were conducted to determine the effect of feed additives on the transit shrink of yearling cattle. In Trial I, 146 mixed-breed heifers were offered a mineral mixture containing either Terramycin® or Bovatec®, ...
Effect of long-acting penicillin and Levamisole® on gain and health of stressed calves

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)

Two studies were conducted to determine the effect of long-acting penicillin and/or levamisole injected at arrival or levamisole injected on day 1 and/or day 7 on the health and gain of newly received, highly ...
Effect of physical form and level of alfalfa in corn-based diets for finishing steers

Brandt, R.T. Jr.; Pope, R.V. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)

One hundred-eighty British crossbred steers (760 lb) were used in a 3x2 factorially arranged experiment to evaluate the main effects of alfalfa form (chopped hay, dehydrated pellets, or a 50:50 mixture of hay:dehy) ...
Effect of Presponse® on the gain and health of long-hauled, newly arrived calves

Brazle, F.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)

Five hundred mixed-breed steer and bull calves (246 lbs) were divided into two treatment groups, with one group receiving a new Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine (Presponse®) at arrival. There was no difference between ...
Effect of supplemental grain sorghum and overseeding with ladino clover on grazing and subsequent feedlot performance of steers early-intensively grazed on acremonium coenophialum - infected tall fescue pastures
