Performance of steers limit-fed in drylot or on mature native pasture

Growing steers were limit-fed the same amount of a grain- and silage-based ration either in drylot or on dormant native range. The steers wintered on pasture gained 14.2% slower (1.82 V5 2.08 lb/d; P<.01) and were 15.3% ...
Sources of forage adjusted to temperature changes for wintering cows in drylot

Cows in mid-to-late gestation gained weight when fed either milo stover silage or alfalfa hay-wheat straw but lost weight when the forage source was milo-stover bales. When supplemented with additional corn grain as ...
The value of soaking whole sorghum grain for finishing fall pigs in drylot

Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-09-20)
