  • Botanical composition of diets grazed by beef cows in the Kansas Flint Hills during winter
    Eckerle, G.J.; Olson, KC; Jaeger, J.R.; Fick, W.H.; Pacheco, L.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Analysis of microscopic plant fragments recovered from the gut of wild herbivores (i.e., microhistological analysis) has been used to estimate diet composition, but there is debate as to whether microhistological analysis ...
  • Effects of Morinda citrifolia on growth performance and health of high-risk calves
    Hibbard, L.R.; Blasi, D.A.; Godbee, R.G.; Epp, M.P.; Oleen, B.; Olson, KC (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Bovine respiratory disease continues to be the most costly disease affecting productivity and profitability in the stocker segment. Long-acting injectable antimicrobials are presently used to reduce the incidence and ...
  • Effects of supplemental protein and energy on digestion and urea kinetics in beef cattle
    Bailey, E.A.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Olson, KC; Brake, D.W.; Anderson, D.E.; Jones, M.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Previous research at Kansas State University has shown that providing supplemental energy when protein is deficient will cause a decrease in digestion of low-quality forage. Our project examined the effects of supplemental ...
  • Length of weaning period but not timing of vaccination affects feedlot receiving performance and health of fall-weaned, ranch-direct beef calves
    Macek, M.J.; Iliff, J.W.; Olson, KC; Jaeger, J.R.; Schmidt, T.B.; Thomson, D.U.; Pacheco, L.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Weaning and preconditioning programs are thought to be crucial to calf health and performance during the finishing period. The stress of maternal separation, changes in diet, environmental changes, and exposure to ...
  • Urea recycling in beef cattle fed prairie hay- based diets
    Bailey, E.A.; Titgemeyer, E.C.; Olson, KC; Brake, D.W.; Anderson, D.E.; Jones, M.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010)
    Maximizing utilization of native rangeland is an important aspect of the cow/calf phase of beef production. Native rangeland is often of poor quality (less than 7% crude protein). Protein content of the rangeland is ...
