Holstein cows in early lactation were utilized to evaluate the effects of supplementing concentrate diets of sorghum grain on milk production, milk composition, somatic cell count, and body condition. At 21 d postpartum, ...
Seventeen years of Kansas central bull tests

Schalles, R.R.; Ward, B.J.; Zoellner, K.O.; Martin, L.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-11-02)

Weights. frame scores. scrotal circumferences, and prices of bulls increased significantly over 17 years. Angus had the greatest increase in birth weight, average daily gain (ADG) during test, adjusted yearling weight, ...

Dai, Zhiyi
Relationship of milk production in Angus and Simmental cows with milk expected progeny differences (EPDs) and calf weaning weight

Marston, T.T.; Simms, D.D.; Schalles, R.R.; Zoellner, K.O.; Martin, L.C.; Fink, G.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-11-02)

Spring and fall calving Angus (n==86) and Simmental (n==96) cows at three different locations in Kansas were used to evaluate the relationships between milk production, Milk Expected Progeny Difference (Milk EPD), and ...
Protein sparing effect of a fermentation product in pig diets from weaning to market

Swanson, J.A.; Hancock, Joe D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-15)

One hundred eighty pigs (avg wt of 21.11b) were used in an experiment to determine if a fermentation product improves performance and reduces last rib fat thickness in pigs when added to a low-protein diet regimen. ...
