• Effects of source and level of energy or protein supplementation on nitrate toxicity in cattle 

  Smith, M.W.; Blanding, M.R.; Corah, L.R.; Blasi, Dale A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-15)

  Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether level or source of energy and protein supplementation would reduce the incidence or severity of clinical toxicity in cattle fed forages high in nitrate (NO3). Heavily ...
• Interrelationship between copper and bovine health 

  Larson, Robert L.; Arthington, J.D.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-15)

  Trace mineral nutrition is important to production efficiency and animal health. Trace mineral imbalances may be the roots of many diagnosed or undiagnosed problems in a herd. The low cost of a complete mineral ...
• Effects of Biomate® inoculant and dextrose on the fermentation of alfalfa silages 

  Lin, C.; Bolsen, K.K.; Bradford, J.E.; Brent, B.E.; Feyerherm, A.M.; Aimutis, W.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-15)

  This study documented once again that ensiling alfalfa is difficult and unpredictable. Adding 2% dextrose or Biomate® inoculant alone or in combination had little influence on the ensiling process but did improve ...
• Epiphytic lactic acid bacteria succession during the pre-ensiling and ensiling periods of alfalfa and corn 

  Lin, Chunjian; Brent, B.E.; Bolsen, K.K.; Fung, Daniel Y. C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-15)

  Twenty three species and 306 strains of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were found for two cuttings of alfalfa, each harvested at three stages of maturity, and three whole-plant corn hybrids. Epiphytic LAB counts ...
• Evaluation of 20 corn hybrids for silage agronomic characteristics 

  Sonon, R.N.; Dalke, B.S.; Suazo, R.; Pfaff, L.; Bolsen, K.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-15)

  Twenty corn hybrids were grown under irrigation and harvested at 90 % of the kernel milk line. Hybrid had a significant effect on plant height, whole-plant dry matter (DM) and DM yield, grain yield, stover yield, and ...
