  • Beef cattle commercial feedlot studies Trial 2--effects on steer performance of variable protein levels, implanting and worming
    Riley, J.G.; Harrison, K.F.; Good, D.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    A 189-day trial used 280 mixed-breed steers to study effects of various protein levels in finishing steer rations. Rations containing 15.4 or 13.4% crude protein significantly improved rate of gain during the first 42 ...

    Bolsen, K.K.; Riley, J.G.; Conway, K.L.; Henry, P. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Six finishing rations were compared: (1) 10% corn silage, (2) 20% corn silage, (3) 10% wheat head silage, (4) 20% wheat head silage, (5) unprocessed (whole) milage and (6) processed (rolled) milage. Each ration was fed ...
  • Effect of sound stress on ovulation, estrus, and conception in beef heifers
    Heersche, G. Jr.; Kiracofe, G.; McKee, M.; Ames, D.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Thirty of the 50 heifers used in estrous synchronization studies and that received prostaglandin and Syncro-Mate B to synchronize estrus were subjected to sound stress for 48 hours after prostaglandin was injected. Fifty-nine ...
  • Effects of roughage and protein levels on performance of finishing steers and heifers
    Harrison, K.F.; Riley, J.G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    A 142-day trial used 36 Angus steers and 63 mixed-breed heifers to study the effects of roughage and protein levels in beef cattle finishing rations. Results from a 13% crude protein ration the first 70 days or a ration ...
  • Effects on cows, calves, and vegetation of nitrogen fertilization and burning bluestem pastures annually
    Berger, L.L.; Owensby, C.E.; Schalles, R.R.; Harbers, L.H.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Burning and fertilizing pastures were evaluated on six Bluestem pastures by comparing performances by spring-calving cows and calves. Two control pastures were not burned or fertilized, two pastures were burned, and two ...
  • Influence of alfalfa harvesting and storing methods on steer performance
    Bolsen, K.K.; Riley, J.G.; Berger, L.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Three alfalfa treatments were evaluated in a steer performance trial: (1) direct-cut and ensiled with dry milo, (2) field-wilted and ensiled, with milo added at feeding and (3) baled, with milo added at feeding. The ...
  • Influence of rumen fluid inoculation on incidence of sickness in newly arrived feeder calves
    Riley, J.G.; Bolsen, K.K.; Armbruster, S.; Caley, H.; Fink, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Inoculating newly arrived feeder calves with 250 ml. rumen fluid did not stimulate weight gain or decrease sickness. One hundred seventy steer calves were used in the 31 day study.
  • Influence of winter nutrition on production and reproduction in spring-calving cows
    Davis, D.; Schalles, R.R.; Kiracofe, G.; Good, D.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Winter nutrition requirements for beef cows grazing native tallgrass range in the Flint Hills were studied from 1968 through 1973. Three lb. milo was a better supplement to the basic ration of 3 lb. alfalfa hay than 1 ...
  • Milo stover for growing heifers
    Bolsen, K.K.; Boyett, G.; Riley, J.G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Five rations (involving 4 forage treatments) were compared: (1) forage sorghum silage, (2) forage sorghum silage ensiled with organic acids , (3) milo stover pellets, (4) milo stover silage and (5) milo stover silage ...
  • Protein levels for bulls on 140-day, gain test
    McKee, M.; Schalles, R.R.; Zoellner, K.O. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Three trials with Angus, Hereford, and Shorthorn bulls produced in the University teaching herd were conducted to determine effects of 10, 12, or 14% calculated crude protein levels in grain rations. In trial 1, the 10% ...
  • Protein supplements for feedlot rations compared
    Shiawoya, E.L.; Harbers, L.H.; Bolsen, K.K.; Riley, J.G.; Dikeman, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Protein supplements composed of either soybean meal, a combination of soybean meal and urea, or milo Starea improved gain 5% and feed efficiency 4% over supplements of either urea or wheat Starea (P<.25). Cost of gain ...
  • Response of yearling steers on bluestem pastures that were intensively stocked early in season
    Berger, L.L.; Harbers, L.H.; Schalles, R.R.; Owenby, C.E.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Nine pastures of 492 acres were summer grazed by yearling steers. Five were burned April 24, 1973; four were not burned. Burned and nonburned pastures had 0, 40, or 80 lbs. of nitrogen per acre applied aerially. Stocking ...
  • Soybean meal and Starea (R) blocks compared by wintering cows on bluestem pasture: effects on birth and weaning weights of calves
    Harbers, L.H.; Shiawoya, E.L.; Conway, K.; McKee, R.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1974)
    Similar gains and adjusted weaning weights can be expected from calves whose dams are wintered on soybean meal or Starea protein blocks. Rebreeding time is expected to be similar for both groups of dams.
  • Synchronizing estrus in heifers with prostaglandin and Syncro-mate B
