Animal performance changes related to time on feed

Chestnut, A.; Brent, B.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-03-04)

We are developing mathematical models to show how feed intake, rate of gain, and feed efficiency change during the finishing period. When finished, the models might be used to predict when to sell cattle to maximize profit ...
Value of sprinkling feedlot cattle during heat

Ames, D.R.; Willms, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-03-04)

Four lots of growing-finishing cattle were sprinkled when dry bulb temperature exceeded 80 F the summer of 1976 and compared with lots not sprinkled. Sprinkled lots gained significantly (P<.01) more (1.20 kg per day compared ...
Protein adjustments in heat stressed finishing cattle

Ames, D.R.; Willms, C.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-03-04)

A summer feedlot trial indicates that protein can be removed from finishing rations in proportion to magnitude of heat stress without causing a decline in average daily lain. Cattle consumed .13 kg/hd/day (.30 lb) less ...
Operational procedures of Kansas feedyards

Koons, L.; Riley, Jack G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-03-04)

Twenty-four Kansas feedyards with 432,000 head capacity participated in a survey on operation procedures. The survey covered five areas: processing, animal health, rations, facilities, and marketing. Methods differed most ...
Effect of Monensin on performance of finishing steers

Tobyne, D.; Fink, G.; Riley, Jack G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-03-04)

We used 72 Hereford and Hereford x Angus cross yearling steers to further evaluate 200 mg Monensin (trade name Rumensin) per head daily. Monensin improved gain 6.7% and significantly improved efficiency, 12.3%.
