Feed lot and pasture-fattening tests with feeder lambs, 1957-58. Studies carried on by the Department of Animal Husbandry and the Garden City Branch Experiment Station.

Menzies, C.S.; Erhart, A.B. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-14)

Two lots of lambs were grazed on wheat pasture for the entire 123-day experimental period. Lambs in one of these, lot 5, were also shorn at the start of the test on November 7. One-third of the lambs in each lot received a ...
Feedlot performance of steers implanted with Stilbestrol prior to the grazing season.

Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Walker, G.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-14)

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Cox, R.F.; Boren, Fred W. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-14)

A preliminary test indicated that the efficiency of utilization of sorghum grain by beef cattle may be increased by grinding the grain very fine and making it into pellets. Digestion, nitrogen balance, digestible energy ...
Fundamental studies of sorghum roughages and grains. I. A study of the value of pelleting sorghum grain. II. A study of the value of levels of hormone and synthetic hormone-like substances.

Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-14)

Previous work has shown that rate of gain and carcass quality are essentially the same with sorghum grain and corn when self-fed in a beef fattening ration (Kansas Agricultural experiment Station Circulars 308 a20, and ...
Metabolism of carotenoid pigments and vitamin A by swine. Provitamin A from alfalfa and yellow corn, and vitamin A in a gelatin-stabilized product as sources of vitamin A for weanling pigs.

Parrish, D.B.; Aubel, C.E. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-14)

Twenty-seven weanling pigs from gilts fed a vitamin A-restricted diet during gestation and lactation were distributed into three groups of three lots each so that lots among groups were balanced on the basis of litter, sex ...
Nutritive value of forages us affected by soil and climatic differences; limestone pasture vs. sandstone pasture
