  • Factors influencing net income from steers through feedlot
    Schalles, R.R.; Zoellner, K.O.; Long, K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Calves that gained rapidly before going into the feedlot continued to gain rapidly on feed and were more profitable to both the cow-calf operator and the feeder. When fed to their genetic potential, large frame, heavy, young ...
  • Grain dust for finishing cattle
    Axe, D.; Ilg, H.; Bolsen, K.; Behnke, Keith C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Two finishing trials with heifers and steers were conducted to determine the value of grain dust (GD) to replace cracked corn and to compare soybean meal and urea as protein supplements. Results of the 104-day heifer ...
  • Grazing cattle on alfalfa
    Hayes, D.; Corah, L.; Bartley, E.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Data collected from six producers grazing 4050 head of cattle on 850 acres of irrigated alfalfa showed that under optimum conditions, Kansas producers can expect: stocking rate, 5 to 6 head/acre; average daily gain, 2 ...
  • Ground beef from electrically stimulated and pre-rigor processed carcasses
    Hunt, Melvin C.; Kendall, J.L.A.; Kropf, Donald H.; Dikeman, Michael E.; Kastner, Curtis L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Ground beef from electrically stimulated and/or pre-rigor processed carcasses was equivalent to conventional ground beef in texture, palatability, and frozen storage stability, but lost more juice when vacuum-stored, had ...
  • Hot processed beef--microbiological characteristics
    Lee, C.Y.; Kastner, Curtis L.; Dikeman, Michael E.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Kropf, Donald H.; Lyon, M.; Fung, Daniel Y. C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    To help insure that hot-processed beef has an acceptable shelf life and is microbiologically safe, the microbial characteristics of the product must be evaluated. This is particularly true for hot-processed cuts that are ...
  • Intake of milk and range forage by nursing calves
    Peischel, A.; Schalles, R.R.; Owensby, Clenton E.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Adequate milk production by the cow to promote fast gain by her calf the first three months is important for heavy weaning weights. Calves consume considerable range forage by three months of age, and milk consumption begins ...
  • Lasalocid or Rumensin to prevent lactic acidosis in cattle
    Dennis, S.M.; Avery, T.B.; Bartley, E.E.; Galitzer, S.J.; Nagaraja, T. G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    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) ...
  • Performance and forage intake of range cows as affected by mineral supplement and delaying winter supplemental feed
    Pruitt, R.J.; Peischel, H.A.; Smith, E.F.; Schalles, R.R.; Owensby, Clenton E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Polled Hereford cows on native Flint Hills pasture not supplemented until February lost more weight from November to February and were in poorer condition during the winter and early spring than cows supplemented ...
  • Rumensin and drylot vs. pasture systems for early-weaned calves
    Busby, W.D.; Corah, L.R.; McKee, M.; Fink, G.; Pope, Ronald V. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Seventy-six Polled Hereford and percentage Simmental calves were used to evaluate Rumensin and drylot vs. pasture systems by average daily gain of early-weaned (54 day old) calves. Rumensin was fed at 10 g/ton of feed for ...
  • Silage additives
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Six commercial silage additives were evaluated in five trials with corn, forage sorghum, and alfalfa. In general, each additive improved the silage in at least one of four criteria we used for the comparisons: ...
  • Silo-best for corn silage
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, Jack G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Two corn silages (37 to 38% DM) were made September 2 and 3, 1975; one was ensiled without additive (control), the other with Silo-Best added at 1.0 lb. per ton of fresh crop. Silos were opened after 36 days, and ...
  • Silo-Guard for corn silage
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Two corn silages (34 to 36% DM) were made August 4 and 5, 1976; one was ensiled without additive (control), the other with Silo-Guard added at 1.5 lbs. per ton of fresh crop. Silos were opened after 68 days, and each ...
  • Silo-Guard for forage sorghum silage
    Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Two forage sorghum silages (29 to 30% DM) were made October 1 to 3, 1978; one ensiled without additive (control), the other with 1.5 lbs. of Silo-Guard added per ton of fresh crop. Silos were opened after 36 days, and ...
  • Study I: economic feasibility of hot processing beef carcasses
    McCoy, J.; Nason, P.; Chung, D.; Kastner, Curtis L.; Lawrence, A.; Dikeman, Michael E.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Kropf, Donald H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Nearly all steer and heifer beef carcasses processed in the United, States are chilled before cutting. However, recent meat science research has shown that carcasses can be processed, and quality of meat maintained, with ...
  • Study II: Electrically stimulated and hot-processed beef--color and eating qualities
    Hagele, K.; Dikeman, Michael E.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Kastner, Curtis L.; Kropf, Donald H.; Lyon, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
