Peters, C.W.; Larson, Robert L.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-05)

Melengestrol acetate (MGA®) and prostaglandin F2α (PG; Lutalyse®) were used to synchronize estrus in 757 yearling, virgin, beef heifers on six commercial ranches. Heifers were inseminated artificially (AI) 12 h ...
Preservation of alfalfa hay with a microbial inoculant

Taylor, R.K.; Mahanna, W.C.; Blasi, Dale A.; Maxwell, Thomas Mark; Shroyer, James P. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-05)

Eleven large, round, alfalfa bales were treated with Pioneer® Brand 1155 Alfalfa Hay Inoculant and nine bales were untreated. The initial baling moistures were 14.1% (low) or 17.6% (medium). No significant differences were ...

Wang, Wenduo; Guan, Fengling
Pellet quality affects growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs

Stark, C.R.; Hines, Robert H.; Behnke, Keith C.; Hancock, Joe D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-02)

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of diet form (meal vs pellet) and amount of fines in pelleted feed on growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs. One hundred twenty-six weanling pigs, with an ...
