Sherrin, A. Rachelle; Bednar, Carolyn; Kwon, Junehee (2010-11-17)

Purpose of this research was to investigate utilization of labor productivity standards and variables that affect productivity in Texas school foodservice operations. A questionnaire was developed, validated, and pilot ...
Laboratory evaluation of surface amendments for controlling greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle feedlots

Aguilar, Orlando A.; Maghirang, Ronaldo G.; Trabue, Steven L.; Rice, Charles W.; Erickson, Larry E. (2014-03-06)

Pen surface amendments for mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2), from beef cattle feedlots, were evaluated under controlled laboratory ...
Laboratory scale electrostatically assisted wet scrubber for controlling dust in livestock buidlings

Almuhanna, E. A.; Maghirang, Ronaldo G.; Murphy, James P.; Erickson, Larry E. (American society of agricultural and biological engineers, 2010-03-02)

A prototype electrostatically assisted particulate wet scrubber (EPWS) for controlling dust in livestock buildings was developed and tested under laboratory and field conditions. Under laboratory conditions, the EPWS with ...
Lactic acid, hot water, and microwave treatment to reduce natural microflora and pathogens in vacuum-packaged beef

Kang, D.H.; Crozier-Dodson, B.A.; Jiang, G.; Shi, X.; Fung, Daniel Y. C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Combined lactic acid (2%), hot water, and microwave treatments were used to reduce natural microflora and the pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes in vacuum-packaged ...
Lasalocid or Rumensin to prevent lactic acidosis in cattle

Dennis, S.M.; Avery, T.B.; Bartley, E.E.; Galitzer, S.J.; Nagaraja, Tiruvoor G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-02-18)

Lasalocid or Rumensin (monensin) protected cattle gorged with grain from lactic acidosis. Both lasalocid and monensin prevented the decrease in rumen and blood pH and increase in rumen and blood lactic acid (0(-) isomer) ...
Leaching of amylose from wheat and corn starch

LED lighting extends color shelf life for three beef products compared with fluorescent lighting

Steele, K.S.; Weber, M.J.; Boyle, Elizabeth A. E.; Lobaton-Sulabo, A.S.; Cundith, C.; Hiebert, Y.H.; Abrolat, K.A.; Attey, J.M.; Clark, S.D.; Johnson, D.; Roenbaugh, T.L.; Hunt, Melvin C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012-04-03)

Consumers are not able to estimate tenderness, juiciness, or flavor when selecting beef cuts at retail stores. Instead, they rely on color as one of the major criteria to select beef cuts. During refrigerated display, ...
Leg problems in broilers and turkeys
