  • Performance and carcass traits of feeder calves scored for muscling, frame size, and condition
    Dikeman, M.E.; Allen, D.M.; Kemp, K.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Calves with different USDA frame sizes had similar carcass composition and quality when slaughtered within the recommended weight range for their frame size. Large-framed calves had higher dressing percentages and ...
  • Selenium content of native bluestem pastures
    Harbers, L.H.; Sapienza, D.A.; Schwanke, L.; Kazemi, S.M.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    We used steers with esophageal cannulas to measure selenium in burned and unburned bluestem pastures between May and September. Individual variation among steers sampled varied as much as two fold in selenium content. ...
  • Sila-bac, Cold-flo, and sodium hydroxide for forage sorghum silage
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Inoculant (Sila-bac), non-protein nitrogen (Cold-flo), and alkali (NaOH) silage additives were evaluated with whole-plant forage sorghum silage. All three additives decreased ensiling temperatures. Calves fed Sila-bec or ...
  • Steer gains on burned and nonburned bluestem pasture and reimplanting with Ralgro at mid-summer
    Smith, E.F.; Behnke, R.; Owensby, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Steers on a late spring burned bluestem pasture gained 1.4 lbs daily during the summer compared with 1.0 lb. by steers on a nonburned pasture. All steers were implanted with Ralgro at the start of the grazing season (May ...
  • The toxicity of liquid supplements containing urea
    Bartley, E.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    Liquid supplement manufacturers must provide a product that is effectively utilized and is nontoxic. Toxicity can be reduced if the supplement's pH is below 3.8, but low pH alone does not improve nutritive value. A good ...
  • Use of Kamar® heatmount detectors in beef cattle synchronized with Lutalyse®
    Kiracofe, G.H.; Heekin, M.; Odde, K.; King, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1981)
    The ability of the Kamar Heatmount Detector to identify cows ready for insemination 80 hours after two Lutalyse injections was tested with 439 beef cows and heifers. The detector was placed on the rump at the second injection ...
