  • Comparison of Biuret and soybean meal for wintering cows on bluestem pasture II. Effect on birth and weaning weight of progeny
    Thyault, H.A.; Harbers, L.H.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    During the winter of 1969-70, 48 five-year-old cows were divided into three groups to compared soybean meal with biuret as a winter supplement in combination with sorghum grain (Bulletin 536, 1970, p.33). Soybean meal ...
  • Control of feed intake in ruminants continuous rumen infusion studies (Project 802)
    Parks, J.C.; Lusby, K.S.; Brent, B.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Since the requirement of animals for net energy for maintenance (NEm) is influenced largely by weight of the animal, feed efficiency and animal performance improve rapidly as feed intake surpasses maintenance requirements. ...
  • Effect of adding fat to feedlot rations
    Brent, B.E.; Phar, P.A.; Randle, L.J.; Harbers, L.H.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Fat is added to commercial feedlot rations as a concentrated energy source and to reduce dustiness and wear of feed processing machinery. We added fat at varying levels ( 0 to 6% of the ration) to study effects from fat ...
  • Effect of beet pulp pellets fed steers wintering and finishing rations
    Arehart, L.A.; Banbury, E.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Sugar beet by-products are available to cattle feeders in northwestern Kansas, but their value as livestock feed is not known. In 1967-68, steers fed liquid protein concentrate beet pulp pellets (LPC) in wintering rations ...
  • Feeding value of four different hybrid sorghum grains for finishing cattle
    McCollough, R.L.; Drake, C.L.; Schalles, R.R.; Roth, G.N.; Harrison, K.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Hybrid sorghum grain is the major source of energy in livestock finishing rations in the Midwest. In 1969, 739 million bushels of sorghum grain were produced in the United States and 620 million bushels, or 84% were fed ...
  • Feedlot performance and digestibility of beef steers fed steam flaked, popped, reconstituted and dry rolled sorghum grain
    Yauk, D.O.; Drake, C.L.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Because most finishing rations contain a high proportion of grain, better processing of sorghum grain to increase grain utilization should improve ration efficiency. Work in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Fort Hays has ...
  • Post-weaning performance of calves as affected by longstem hay and method feeding
    Smith, E.F.; Harbers, L.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Three different rations were compared for feeding calves immediately after weaning. Desired is a ration that will reduce weaning stress, produce economical gains, and be easy to feed. The rations are shown in Table 4. ...
  • Simmental-Hereford cross calves
    McKee, M.; Schalles, R.R.; Zoellner, K.O. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Data on nine Simmental-Hereford cross calves (3 bulls and 6 females) from birth to 6 months of age was reported in Bulletin 536. The three bulls shared conditions with three Hereford, four Angus, and one Shorthorn bull. ...
  • Starea, urea and soybean meal compared in wintering rations for cows on bluestem pasture
    Tucker, L.; Harbers, L.H.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    More urea, a torn of nonprotein nitrogen, would be fed to ruminants except for inefficient conversion of urea-nitrogen to Microbial protein, toxicity, lack of palatability and urea segregating in mixed rations. As a ...
  • The Tenderometer as a tool for evaluating beef tenderness
    Dikeman, M.E.; Tuma, H.J.; Allen, D.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Numerous instruments have been developed to objectively measure tenderness, an important eating characteristics of beef. The Kramer shear press and Warner-Bratzler shear show the best relationships to taste panel tenderness ...
  • Voluntary salt intake by feedlot steers
    Harbers, L.H.; Warren, L.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Because it is a standard practice, adding salt to livestock rations has not received much attention in the past several years. Salt is universally added at 0.5% of the diet, but studies here in the early 50’s showed salt ...
  • Winter nutrition for cows
    Schalles, R.R.; Drake, C.L.; Kiracofe, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971)
    Cow productivity on four supplemental winter feeding levels were compared over 2 years. Cattle were grazed on native bluestem year round. Cows calved between February 15 and May 5. Only records (104) of cows that raised ...
