    Potassium chloride added to the prestarter and/or potassium bicarbonate added to the starter fed to early weaned calves helped maintain normal blood alkalinity and normal levels of blood gases, and resulted in a trend ...
  • Effect of lasalocid in rations for growing heifers
    Isbell, D.E.; Morrill, J.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1989)
    Sixty-four Holstein heifer calves were used from 10 to 26 wk of age to study the effects of lasalocid on growth and feed consumption. Calves were evaluated weekly for weight gain and feed consumption. Lasalocid-fed heifers ...
