  • Effect of Feeding Rumensin during the growing phase on subsequent reproductive performance of yearling heifers
    Corah, L.; Riley, J.; Bolsen, K.; McKee, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Seventy five purebred heifers were used to determine whether Monensin, (trade name Rumensin) fed during the initial growing period after weaning, would affect the reproductive performance of yearling heifers. Rumensin ...
  • Effect of Monensin on performance of finishing steers
    Riley, J.; Tobyne, D.; Fink, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    We used 72 Hereford and Hereford x Angus cross yearling steers to further evaluate 200 mg Monensin (trade name Rumensin) per head daily. Monensin improved gain 6.7% and significantly improved efficiency, 12.3%.
  • Feeding Monensin to yearling cattle on summer grass
    Schwartz, F.; Smith, E.; Riley, J.; Corah, L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Two grazing trials conducted at different locations in Kansas evaluated feeding Monensin to grazing yearling cattle. In one trial Monensin was fed with and without implant treatments of diethylstilbestrol or Ralgro. ...
  • Micronized milo, urea and prairie hay for growing beef heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Oltjen, J.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Twenty-four individually fed heifers were used 1n two heifer trials to evaluate four combinations of micronized or dry-rolled milo and soybean meal or urea supplements 1n prairie hay growing rations. Feeding 4 to 5 lbs. ...
  • Milo stover, forage sorghum and alfalfa silages for growing heifers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J.; Grimes, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Ninety heifer calves were used to compare six rations containing various combinations of milo stover, forage sorghum and alfalfa silages. In the 96-day trial, heifers fed 100% forage sorghum silage outperformed heifers ...
  • Sources of roughage and milo for finishing steers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Steers fed corn silage gained significantly (P<.05) faster than steers fed any other roughage. Wheat silage ranked second with gains significantly (P<.05) more than gains from milo stover silage, alfalfa hay or corn ...
  • Weaning calves’ response to a medicated top dressing
    Fleck, A.A.; Schalles, R.R.; Riley, J.; Fink, G.; O' Banion, D.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Adding a medicated top dressing to a weaning calf ration did not reduce calf sickness, but increased weight gains the second and third weeks of a three-week weaning trial.
  • Wheat, barley, oat and corn silage rations for growing steers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J.; Oltjen, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Eleven wheat, barley, oat and corn silages were evaluated in two steers growing trials in 1975 and 1976. In both trials, steers fed barley or corn silages had similar rate and efficiency of gains. Also, barley and corn ...
