    Smith, E.F.; Anderson, K.L.; Boren, F.W.; Drake, C.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    This experiment was designed to determine the effect of different stocking rates, of deferred grazing, and of pasture burning on cattle performances, productivity of pastures and range condition as determined by plant ...
  • The effects of feeding different levels of dicalcium phosphate to heifers on bluestem pasture
    Drake, C.L.; Smith, E.F.; Spies, H.G.; Richardson, D.; Good, D.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    This trial was designed to study effects of low to high levels of calcium and phopphorus supplements on heifers grazing bluestem pasture. February 18, 1961, 40 Hereford heifer calves, weighing about 400 pounds each, were ...
  • Investigations of milk-fat lamb production practices for Western Kansas, Results for 1962-63 creep-feeding tests and 1963 ewe preflushing and flushing tests
    Menzies, C.S.; Banbury, E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    One hundred fifty yearling ewes were added to the flock in May, 1963, so the ewe flock now consists of approximately 450 two-, five-, and six- year-old fine-wool ewes. All were purchased in southwestern Texas as yearlings. ...
  • Level of protein for heifer calves wintered on bluestem pasture
    DeGeer, C.V.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Good, D.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    The 65 heifers used in this study were good-to-choice Herefords purchased near Fort Davis, Texas, assigned to treatments on a random-weight basis. The heifers were rotated between pastures so any differences due to pastures ...
  • Level of Vitamin A in beef steer rations: Wintering phase
    Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Dunn, L.; Harbers, L.H. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    Sixty Hereford steer calves were divided into six equal lots. Sorghum silage ad lib. And 1 pound of soybean oil meal per head daily were fed to all lots. Half of the animals (Lots 7, 8, and 9) received 8 pounds of sorghum ...
  • Limited feeding for growing-finishing swine
    Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    Limiting daily feed intake during the last half of the growing-finishing period is a possible way to improve carcass characteristics of market pigs. A review of limited feeding trials conducted here and elsewhere leads to ...
  • Nutritive value of forages as affected by soil and climatic differences
    Richardson, D.; Banbury, E.E.; Erhart, A.B.; Williams, G.; Russ, O.; Harbers, L.H.; Loper, D.C.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)

  • Nutritive value of forages as affected by soil and climatic differences
    Richardson, D.; Banbury, E.E.; Erhart, A.B.; Davidson, F.R.; Williams, G.; Smith, E.F.; Loper, D.C.; Harbers, L.H.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    It is generally thought that performance of cattle may differ in various parts of the state due to location, soil, climate, rainfall and/or feed produced. This project is an attempt to determine whether such differences ...
  • Pelleting and heat treatment of fattening lamb rations
    Menzies, C.S.; Cox, R.F.; Deyoe, C.W.; Pfost, H.B. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)

  • Slotted floors for swine
    Koch, B.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1964)
    Slotted floors in all phases of swine production are being widely investigated. Confining pigs on a slotted floor is not a new idea. However, we need to know more about how best to use slotted floors.
