Excreta Silage For Maintaining Pregnant Cows And Heifers, M. Mckee, K.L. Conway, G. Fink, K. Kimple, J.D. Hoover, Jack G. Riley
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Preliminary trials the summer of 1975 tested the value of excreta silage for maintain pregnant cows and heifers. Ingredients in the excreta silage were wheat straw, cattle excreta, corn, and molasses. Eighty mature cows were divided into three lots and received either excreta silage, alfalfa haylage, or ½ excreta silage and ½ alfalfa haylage as sources of roughage for 59 days (July 25 to September 22). Cows receiving excreta silage tended to gain more than cows on haylage or ½ haylage and ½ excreta silage. Twenty-nine, sixteen-month old, pregnant, part Simmental heifers were divided into two lots. One group received …

Relationship Between Body Measurements And Performance Traits In Boars (1976), P B. Conley Iii, T W. Orwig, Robert H. Hines
Relationship Between Body Measurements And Performance Traits In Boars (1976), P B. Conley Iii, T W. Orwig, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Fourteen body measurements were taken on 259 boars at 65 lbs. and again at 250 lbs. determine the relationship of external body dimensions with certain performance traits. Correlations between body measurements and growth tended to be extremely low for most factors. Our results do not support using body measurements as v1sual indicators of growth. This study suggests that performance testing is still the best way to predict a particular animal's genetic potential.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 11, 1976
Efficacy Of Feeding Finishing-Pigs To Heavier Weights On Two Protein Sequences (1976), B A. Koch, G L. Allee, Robert H. Hines
Efficacy Of Feeding Finishing-Pigs To Heavier Weights On Two Protein Sequences (1976), B A. Koch, G L. Allee, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Eighty-four pigs averaging 75 lbs. were used to evaluate feeding finishing hogs to 230, 260, or 290 lbs. on two protein regimes. Rate of gain declined after the pigs reached 200 lbs. regardless of protein level, which resulted in an increase of approximately 20 to 25 days required for each pen of pigs to average 30 lbs. of gain. Feed costs increased with the increased pounds of feed required per pound of gain for the heavier weights. Pigs fed the lower protein level from 200 lbs. to final weight required more feed per pound of gain, yielded carcasses with slightly …

Dietary Responses To Processed And Non-Processed Peanuts And Grains By Growing-Finishing Pigs (1976), T F. Balogun, B A. Koch
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Twenty-four crossbred barrows and gilts averaging 92 lbs. were used to evaluate whole shelled peanut as a protein and energy source for pigs. Pigs used whole peanuts and corn less efficiently than ground peanuts and corn. Feed intake and average daily gain were greatly improved when peanuts and corn were fed in ground form. Roasting peanuts for one hour at 120 C improved performance only slightly over raw peanuts. Pigs fed a soybean meal diet had slightly better average daily gain than those fed a lysine-supplemented peanut meal diet.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 11, 1976
Femur Or Phalange Bones As Indicators Of Dietary Phosphorus Deficiency (1976), J Hsu, G L. Allee, B A. Koch
Femur Or Phalange Bones As Indicators Of Dietary Phosphorus Deficiency (1976), J Hsu, G L. Allee, B A. Koch
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Fifteen crossbred gilts averaging 115 pounds were fed one of three phosphorus levels 70 days (to 219 pounds average) then their femur and phalange bones were compared. Each group of five gilts had received either 0.40%, 0.50% or 0.60% total dietary phosphorus and 0.65% dietary calcium during the 70-day feeding period. The basal sorghum-soybean meal ration contained 0.30% of plant phosphorus. Specific gravity and X-ray or chemical analysis of femurs showed no significant differences among groups, but the breaking strength of femurs from gilts fed 0.6% phosphorus was significantly higher than that from gilts fed 0.4% phosphorus. Femur and phalange …
Acid-Treated High-Moisture Sorghum For Swine (1976), G L. Allee, R Nelson
Acid-Treated High-Moisture Sorghum For Swine (1976), G L. Allee, R Nelson
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three trials involving 166 growing pigs (initial weight 20.5 pounds) and 96 finishing pigs (initial weight 108.7 pounds) were conducted to investigate effects of feeding high-moisture, acid-treated sorghum to swine. Sorghum harvested at 23% moisture was treated with 1.2% propionic acid. Method of processing (whole or ground) and method of feeding (complete or free-choice) were also evaluated. Pigs fed high-moisture, acid-treated sorghum in a complete ration gained at the same rate and just as efficiently as pigs fed the dry, complete ration. Feeding of supplement free-choice tended to reduce daily gain but not feed efficiency. Finishing pigs fed whole, high-moisture, …
High-Moisture Sorghum For Growing-Finishing Swine (1976), M Trotter, G L. Allee
High-Moisture Sorghum For Growing-Finishing Swine (1976), M Trotter, G L. Allee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Eighty-seven crossbred pigs (averaging 95 pounds initially) were used to compare the value of sorghum grain harvested with high-moisture and stored in an oxygen-limiting structure with that harvested with high-moisture and treated with propionic acid (1.2%), and stored in a metal bin, or field dried. Average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and feed/gain ratios in a growth trial and protein and energy digestibilities in a digestion trial, showed that high-moisture sorghum grain and field-dried sorghum have equal feeding values when compared on a dry-matter basis.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 11, 1976
Trace Mineral Levels During Gestation Of Sows In Confinement-Effects On Immunoglobin Performance And Health Of Neonatal Pigs (1976), D A. Schoneweis, G L. Allee
Trace Mineral Levels During Gestation Of Sows In Confinement-Effects On Immunoglobin Performance And Health Of Neonatal Pigs (1976), D A. Schoneweis, G L. Allee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We compared the effects of two levels of trace minerals fed dams during gestation on the hemoglobin, packed cell volume, performance, and health of 31 litters of neonatal pigs. The dams had been on concrete all of their lives. There were no significant differences in the hemoglobin or packed cell volume in pigs due to trace mineral levels fed the dam during gestation. There were no apparent differences in the incidence of neonatal disease or other problems in any of the pigs. These results indicate no benefit from adding excess trace minerals to the ration of sows during gestation, even …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We used 79 cows to evaluate Syncromate B (G.D. Searle, Co.) as an estrus-synchronizing agent. Management of five groups of cows was: (1) nonsynchronized, bred naturally; (2) nonsynchronized, bred artificially; (3) synchronized, bred naturally; (4) synchronized, bred artificially at estrus; and (5) synchronized, bred artificially 60 hours after implant was removed. Conception rates were not affected by artificial breeding or synchronization. However, not all cows synchronized showed estrus. Percentages of cows bred during the first 25 days of the breeding season were 72.2, 71.4, 84.6, 68.7, 83.8 for groups 1 through 5, respectively.

Energy Levels For Growing And Finishing Steers, K. Bolsen, Michael E. Dikeman, Jack G. Riley
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Four combinations of low (LE), moderate (ME) and high (HE) energy rations were fed to growing and finishing steers. The four treatments were: LE-ME; LE-HE; ME-ME and ME-HE. All steers were more efficient during the growing phase (473 to 750 lbs.) than the finishing phase (750 to 1050 lbs.). During the growing phase, performance of steers fed the ME ration exceeded that of steers fed the LE ration. During the finishing phase, performance of steers fed the HE ration exceeded that of steers fed the ME ration. Steers on the LE-HE treatment required more energy per lb. of gain than …

Reliability Of U.S.D.A. Beef Carcass Yield Grades In Reflecting Differences In Retail Yields, R.J. Lipsey, Dell M. Allen, Michael E. Dikeman
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Retail cut-out and U.S.D.A. yield grade data were obtained on 1,121 carcasses of steers from Hereford and Angus dams mated artificially to Hereford, Angus, Jersey, Limousin, South Devon, Simmental and Charolais bulls. Calves were weaned when approximately 215 days old, conditioned 28 days, fed an average of 218 days after weaning before being slaughtered in a commercial slaughter plant. Carcass cooler data were obtained and the right side of each carcass was cut into closely trimmed, essentially boneless retail cuts at the KSU food service building. Beef yield grades do reflect definite differences in retail yields. Statistical tests indicated less …
Whey-Reconstituted Milo For Finishing Beef Heifers, K. Bolsen, C. Grimes, R. Mickelson
Whey-Reconstituted Milo For Finishing Beef Heifers, K. Bolsen, C. Grimes, R. Mickelson
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three milo treatments were evaluated in finishing rations for heifers: dry-rolled, reconstituted with water, and reconstituted with whey. Reconstituting milo with water or whey did not increase weight gain or efficiency of heifers over that of heifers fed dry-rolled milo. The slowest and least efficient gains were produced by the water-reconstituted milo. Performances were similar for the dry-rolled and whey-reconstituted milo treatments.
