This experiment was designed to collect data in regard to the optimum level of alfalfa hay feeding for calves wintered on bluestem pasture. One group of heifers was fed twice as much alfalfa hay as another, but ...
Fundamental studies of sorghum roughages and grains. A study of the value of pelleting sorghum grain.

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Cox, R.F.; Boren, Fred W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-03)

Forty Hereford steer calves from the same herd were divided as equally as possible, on the basis of weight and conformation, into four lots of 10 animals each. Two additional steers became available 10 days after the test ...
Fundamental studies of sorghum roughages and grains. I. A study of the value of feeding the grain sorghum plant as silage and as dehydrated pellets. II. A study of the value of pelleting sorghum grain.

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Cox, R.F.; Keltz, O.J.; Boren, Fred W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-03)

Combine-type sorghum grain is widely grown in Kansas and normally only the grain is harvested. In many instances, moisture conditions are such at harvest time that grain cannot be stored without artificially drying. Sometimes ...
I. Concentrate: Roughage ratios in pelleted rations for fattening lambs. II. 3-mg. Stilbestrol implants for lambs fed pelleted rations.

Menzies, C.S.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-11)

A summary of three years' study of the relationship of physical balance to the utilization of pelleted and nonpelleted fattening lamb rations was reported in Circular 358. Results of this work indicated the following: (l) ...
Lamb feeding experiments, Studies carried on by the Department of Animal Husbandry and the Garden City Branch Experiment Station

Menzies, C.; Erhart, A.B. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-11)

October 27, lambs were weighed, lotted, and started on test. Lambs were faced and tagged. Seventy-five lambs were shorn and all lambs, except those in lot 9, were drenched with 6 cc. of Trivermol drench. Half the lambs ...
Metabolism of carotenoid pigments and Vitamin A by swine

Parrish, D.B.; Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-11)

Previous work has indicated• that vitamin A utilization and storage are reduced when pigs are infected with roundworms. Hygromix (S. hygroscopicus fermentation product, Lilly) has been used to reduce worm, infection in ...
