  • Effect of a single Ralgro implant on conception rates and calving difficulty in first calf beef heifers
    Bolze, R.P.; Corah, L.R.; Pruitt, R.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Three hundred and seventy four heifers from two Kansas ranches were used to determine if a single Ralgro implant given either at two months of age or at weaning would influence pelvic development and subsequent calving ...

    Corah, L.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Lasalocid (Bovatec®) improved daily gain of replacement heifers by .20 lb per day and reduced the time to first heat in heifers fed on a lower level of energy, but had no significant affect in the higher energy group. ...
  • Effect of oxytetracycline hydrochloride coating added to Compudose implants in grazing steers
    Lomas, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Adding an oxytetracycline coating to Compudose implants did not change their effectiveness. Implanting with Compudose significantly increased gain of grazing steers an average of 17% compared to non-implanted controls.
  • Effect of Ralgro® implantation periods on masculinity and carcass traits of young bulls and steers.
    Gray, D.G.; Unruh, J.A.; Dikeman, M.E.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Repeated Ralgro® implantation of young bulls from birth to slaughter resulted in gains and carcass characteristics traits intermediate between non-implanted bulls and steers, and meat palatability traits similar to steers. ...
  • Effect of sorghum type and harvest date on silage feeding value
    Smith, R.; Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Hinds, M.; Pope, R.; Dickerson, J.; Hoover, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Five silages produced in 1982 were evaluated in two growing trials using 96 steer calves. Forage sorghum silage (heading) was assigned a feeding value of 100. Based on comparative rates and efficiencies of gain, feeding ...
  • Effects of low voltage electrical stimulation during bleeding on characteristics of beef loin eye top round muscles
    Unruh, J.A.; Kastner, C.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Dikeman, M.E.; Hunt, M.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Low voltage electrical stimulation (ES) during bleeding and subsequent carcass chilling at 36 to 46° F resulted in 1) a more rapid pH decline 2) initial lighter red color, but more rapid discoloration during display 3) ...
  • Effects of low voltage electrical stimulation during bleeding and hot boning on beef loin eye and top round muscles
    Axe, J.B.; Kastner, C.L.; Dikeman, M.E.; Hunt, M.C.; Kropf, D.H.; Gray, D.G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Our study evaluated the effects of low voltage electrical stimulation (ES) during bleeding and hot boning at 1 hr postmortem on loin eye (LE) and top round (TR) muscles. Possibly because of relatively slow initial chilling ...
  • Effects of low voltage electrical stimulation on quality characteristics of young bulls fed to 14, 16 and 18 months of age.
    Unruh, J.A.; Gray, D.G.; Kastner, C.L.; Dikeman, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Low voltage electrical stimulation of young bulls at 30 to 45 min after bleeding resulted in a lower muscle pH, higher marbling score, lighter cherry red color and reduced incidence of heat ring formation when compared to ...
