Comparison of corn and grain sorghum dried distillers grains as protein supplements for growing beef heifers

Harborth, K.W.; Marston, T.T.; Llewellyn, Donald A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-02)

An experiment was conducted to determine if corn and grain sorghum dried distillers grains could be effective protein supplements for growing beef replacement heifers. Crossbred heifers (n=77) were individually fed 6 ...
Accelerated and “natural” production-system effects on performance and carcass traits

Veloso, L.; Loe, E.; Unruh, John A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-02)

Sixteen crossbred steers were used to compare performance and carcass characteristics of animals from accelerated and “natural” cattle production systems. Steers in the accelerated group (8 head) were implanted with Component ...
Color of cooked ground beef patties is affected by cooking rate and post-cooking holding time

Ryan, S.M.; Seyfert, M.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Mancini, R.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-02)

Two experiments investigated the effects of cooking rate and post-cooking holding time on the internal cooked color of ground beef patties. In Experiment 1, patties were cooked rapidly (1.8ºF/second) or slowly (0.4ºF/second). ...
A novel method to dry age beef by using vacuum packaging

Ahnström, M.L.; Seyfert, M.; Hunt, Melvin C.; Johnson, D.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-02)

The traditional dry-aging method for beef was compared with a novel technique of dry aging in a highly moisture-permeable vacuum bag. Paired beef strip loins were cut into four sections and were dry aged traditionally ...
Comparison of CIDR to MGA in a 7-11 cosynch protocol with timed insemination of beef heifers

Eborn, D.R.; Freneau, G.E.; Grieger, David M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-02)

Previous research has shown that the 7-11 Cosynch protocol using melengestrol acetate (MGA) is effective in synchronizing beef heifers. This study compared MGA and a vaginal insert containing progesterone (CIDR) in ...
