  • The effect of Avoparcin on the performance of grazing steers
    Corah, L.R.; Busby, W.D.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    One hundred two steers were used to study the effect of Avoparcin on the performance of grazing steers. Four desired dosages -- 0. 200, 400. and 600 mg/head/day -- were compared in a self-fed mineral mix. Feeding Avoparcin ...

    Lomas, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Cattle fed Bovatec consumed 17.4% less feed and were 17.7% more efficient than controls, with no effect on gain. Ralgro implants improved gain 12% and feed efficiency 6.9%, with no effect on feed intake. Bovatec and ...
  • Effect of Bovatec on grazing steer performance
    Lomas, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)

    Lomas, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Cattle fed Bovatec consumed 18.3% less feed and were 19.4% more efficient in feed conversion than controls, with no effect on gain. Synovex-S implants improved gain by 8.2% with no effect on feed intake and feed efficiency. ...
  • Effect of Lasalocid on performance of grazing steers
    Corah, L.R.; Riley, J.G.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Steers fed 200 mg of Lasalocid per day while grazing bromegrass pasture gained 7.6% faster than non-medicated controls; however, this difference was not statistically significant.
  • Effect of Ralgro and Compudose on grazing steer performance
    Lomas, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    COMPUDOSE (an estradiol removable implant) increased steer gains during 202 days of grazing by 11.4%. Ralgro implants (once at the beginning of the study) increased gain 8.5%. Steer performance on the two implants ...
  • Effect of Rumensin on legume bloat in cattle
    Katz, M.P.; Nagaraja, T.G.; Bartley, E.E.; Pressman, E.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Rumensin with or without Bloatguard was fed to rumen-fistulated cattle grazing lush alfalfa pasture. Although Rumensin alone or in combination with low doses of Bloatguard reduced bloat, it was not completely effective. Hence, ...
  • Effects of Rumensin or Rumensin-Tylan combination on steer performance and liver abscess control
    Riley, J.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Combining Tylan with Rumensin dramatically reduced abscessed liver incidence, compared with that of steers fed a non-medicated control ration or Rumensin without Tylan. Only one steer out of 50 on the Rumensin plus Tylan ...
  • Estrus synchronization of cattle in Kansas
    Simms, D.D.; Sprott, L.R.; Odde, K.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    In 22 field trials involving 1,692 cattle, we evaluated Lutalyse as an estrus-synchronization agent for both natural mating and artificial insemination. Only 52.7% of the females in all 22 trials were cycling at the start ...
  • Fed cattle market is guardedly optimistic, says K-State's Sands
    Sands, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Returns to cattle feeders should move back into the profit column during most of 1982. but feeding margins will remain narrow, says Mike Sands, extension economist specializing in livestock marketing at K-State. “Most ...
  • Feeding Rumensin to yearling heifers on late-summer grass
    Jensen, M.; Held, R.; Riley, J.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Rumensin was self-fed in a loose salt mixture to yearling heifers on late-summer bluestem pasture (August to November). They ate 0.036 lbs. of salt mixture (124 mg of Rumensin) daily, but performance did not improve.
