Effect Of Particle Size And Surface Area Of Corn On Pig Performance And Nutrient Digestibility (1984), Jih-Fang Wu, G L. Allee
Effect Of Particle Size And Surface Area Of Corn On Pig Performance And Nutrient Digestibility (1984), Jih-Fang Wu, G L. Allee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two feeding trials and two digestion trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of particle size and surface area of corn on the performance and nutrient digestibility of weaning and finishing pigs. The effects of particle size on production rate and grinding efficiency also were evaluated. Production rate and grinding efficiency decreased as particle size decreased. Average daily gain was not influenced by particle size. Feed intake tended to decrease as particle size decreased with the lowest feed intake on the fine partice size diet. Feed efficiency tended to improve as particle size decreased. The incidence of ulceration in the …

Time-Restricted Feeding Of Pigs: Social And Feeding Behavior (1984), J Vargas Vargas, J V. Craig, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Twenty finishing pigs were used to evaluate effects of time-restricted feeding on social interactions and feeding patterns of pigs at feeding time. Correlation analysis for pairs of traits, involving feeding activities, social interactions, and rate of gain indicate that more aggressive pigs went first to the feeder, fed more frequently, and gained faster. Although on continuous artificial lighting, timed-fed pigs displayed more feeding and aggressive behavior during day light hours.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 15, 1984

Effect Of Reduced Nighttime Temperature On Nursery Pig Performance (1984), David A. Nichols, Frank Blecha, M Johnston, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 144 weaned pigs were used to evaluate the effect of reduced nighttime temperatures on pig performance. No differences were observed in average daily feed intake, daily gain, or feed efficiency regardless of temperature treatment. These results indicate that constant high temperature may not be required for nursery pigs.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 15, 1984

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Nutritional quality and physical conditions were used to evaluate grain sorghum damaged by either the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) or by nontoxin-producing fungi. Experimental treatments were: 1) control 04.0% moisture), 2) lesser grain borer (LGB) (14% moisture with initial infestation of 4.5 adults/lb of grain) and 3) fungal (Fungal) (15.5% moisture). Control grain was used to formulate a 17% crude protein diet. The remaining dietary treatments were formulated by replacing the control grain with the two damaged grains on a weight basis. Forty-five female Yorkshire and 12 crossbred male pigs, with an average initial weight of 22 lb …

Digestibility Of Fat Sources By Sows (1984), S Christianson, G L. Allee, D S. Pollmann
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Twelve crossbred sows averaging 337 lb were used to determine apparent nutrient digestibility of three fat sources. Fat sources evaluated were soybean oil, a 85% dry-fat product composed of animal and vegetable fat, and a 80% dry- fat product made with casein encapsulated choice white grease. The control diet was a 13.0% crude protein corn-soybean diet with 8% cornstarch. Fat sources were added to the control diet to supply 8% added fat. The 12 sows were used in a crossover design, with three sows per diet in each of two periods. Each period consisted of a 5-day adjustment and a …

An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of artificial rearing on the cellular immune response of young pigs. Artificially reared pigs had lower cellular immune reactivity than sow-reared controls. These results indicate that artificial rearing may result in immunosuppression in young pigs.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 15, 1984

Litter Size In Gilts After Altrenogest And Flushing (1984), Duane L. Davis, Jeffrey S. Stevenson, D S. Pollmann, G L. Allee
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Effects of estrous synchronization and flushing on litter size in gilts were compared on two farms. Estrus in gilts was synchronized with altrenogest for 14 days or estrous cycles were left unaltered (control group). One-half of the synchronized gilts were flushed by feeding supplemental ground milo (3.4 lb) in addition to 4 lb of a basal milo-soybean meal diet that all gilts received. Additional milo was provided from day 8 of altrenogest treatment until the first day of estrus. Response on the two farms differed. Altrenogest-treated gilts from one farm farrowed about one more pig than controls, regardless of whether …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two trials were conducted to determine the optimum conditions for processing whole soybeans for young calves. In the first trial, laboratory procedures and a nitrogen balance study were used. This information was used to design the second trial in which raw and processed soybeans were evaluated in an 8-wk growth trial using 96 Holstein day-old calves. Starters contained soybean meal (SBM), SBM with added fat, raw soybeans, or soybeans processed at 280, 340, or 375°F in a California Pellet Mill Jet-Sploder. Calves fed the starters containing soybeans processed at 340 consumed more feed, gained faster, had lower fecal scores (less …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
After preliminary experiments, four trials were conducted to develop and test a new feeding program for calves. The program involves the use of a special feed (a prestarter) to encourage calves to eat dry feed and to provide high quality nutrients during the time of initial rumen development. Using this plan, calves were weaned at 2 weeks of age with good results.; Dairy Day, 1984, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 1984;
Effect Of Insecticide Impregnated Ear Tags On Horn Fly Populations And Suckling Calf Performance (1984), D. Simms, T. Willman, R. Schalles
Effect Of Insecticide Impregnated Ear Tags On Horn Fly Populations And Suckling Calf Performance (1984), D. Simms, T. Willman, R. Schalles
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three trials were conducted to determine the effect of insecticide impregnated ear tags on horn fly counts and weight gain of suckling calves. In trials 1 and 2, cow calf pairs on two Kansas ranches were assigned to these treatments: 1) Control - no tag, 2) Cows Only - 1 tag per cow, 3) Calf Only - 1 tag per calf, and 4) Cow and Calf - 1 tag each. Each tag treatment was in a separate pasture. All insecticide tag treatments reduced (P<.05) horn flies on cows and calves in July and August; however, by September the tags were only reducing (P<.05) flies on cows. While the weight gain response to tags was variable, when trials were combined, all tag treatments increased (P<.05) calf gains over controls. Using a single tag per cow was better (P<.05) than a single tag per calf, while tagging both the cow and calf was no better than either single tag treatment. Average fly counts for each pasture were negatively correlated with calf weight gains indicating a strong relationship between fly populations and calf performance. In trial 3, apparent horn fly resistance to the insecticide in the tags resulted in terminating the trial mid-summer. Research in Kansas and other states indicates that horn fly resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is becoming a common problem which means that producers may need to revert to previously used methods of horn fly control.

Kansas Steer Futurities - The Record On Retained Ownership 1974-1983 (1984), C. Lambert, D. Simms, B. Schalles, L. Corah, Gerry L. Kuhl, M. Sands
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Spring born steer calves, weaned and delivered to custom feedlots by Kansas producers, were fed to slaughter weight. Gain and carcass information was gathered on over 5,000 head fed in 53 separate tests since the fall of 1974. Retaining ownership of steers through the feedlot phase has been profitable for producers in six of the last nine years, and in only two years have losses been large. Those same calves, if sold at weaning, would have been profitable in only three of the last nine years, using Kansas Farm Management Association average costs of production. The cattle averaged 59 percent …

Feeding Bulls-A Practical Evaluation (1984), D. Simms, L. Corah, Gerry L. Kuhl, R. Schalles
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Bull calves on nine Kansas ranches were either castrated and implanted with Ralgro, left intact and not implanted, or left intact and implanted with Ralgro, with performance evaluated through slaughter. Bulls produced leaner carcasses and gained slightly faster and more efficiently than steers. However, based on actual prices received, bulls returned $16.09 less to their owners than steers. Implanting with Ralgro during the suckling phase did not influence any of the traits measured. It is evident that marketing is a major problem which makes bull feeding risky

Silo-Best® For Sorghum Silages (1984), K. Bolsen, H. Ilg, M. Hinds
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Silo-Best lowered the ensiling temperature and increased the dry matter recovered from the silo by over 5 percentage units (82.3 vs. 77.3%). Calves fed the control silage gained faster and consumed more feed, but those fed treated silage were slightly more efficient. The more efficient gain and lowered shrink loss for Silo-Best silage gave 6.4 extra pounds of calf gain per ton of crop ensiled.
High Moisture Corn Ensiled With Urea For Cattle Finishing Rations (1984), B. Young, R. Smith, K. Bolsen, H. Ilg
High Moisture Corn Ensiled With Urea For Cattle Finishing Rations (1984), B. Young, R. Smith, K. Bolsen, H. Ilg
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Dry rolled corn, ensiled high moisture corn, and high moisture corn that was rolled and ensiled with urea or left whole and ensiled with urea were compared in two cattle trials. Dry corn gave the poorest cattle performance; rolled, ensiled high moisture corn gave the best. When corn was left whole, adding urea prior to ensiling increased dry matter losses in the silo and produced a butyric acid fermentation. Urea increased the bunk life of the ensiled high moisture corn.

Silage Additive Update: 1984, K. Bolsen, M. Hinds, J. Brethour
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Numerous commercial silage additives, whose manufacturers claim will improve silage quality, are available to Kansas farmers and ranchers. We believe that these claims must ultimately be documented with farm-scale research. To date, Manhattan and Ft. Hays farm-scale silo results clearly indicate that a few silage additives do improve silage quality and are cost-effective. Several of them have consistently reduced "in silo" losses. But results probably will not be favorable with all additives under every farm condition. Nor will research results obtained with one commercial product in our trials also apply to other products on the market, however similar in ingredient …

Comparison Of Compudose With Ralgro Or Synovex-S Reimplant Programs For Finishing Steers (1984), S.B. Laudert, G.V. Jr. Davis
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Finishing yearling steers reimplanted with Synovex-S or Ralgro gained 6.8 and 4.2% faster, respectively, than those implanted with Compudose. However, feed efficiency was not significantly different among treatments. Steers implanted with Compudose gained 5.1% faster and more efficiently than those implanted with a single Ralgro.

Comparison Of Compudose®, Ralgro® And Synovex-C® For Suckling Steer Calves (1984), D.D. Simms, R. Schalles
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The comparative growth-promoting value of Compudose, Ralgro, Ralgro + Ralgro reimplant, and Synovex-C + Synovex-C reimplant was evaluated on five Kansas ranches with 674 suckling steer calves in seven trials conducted during 1982 and 1983. The Ralgro + Ralgro reimplant program increased gain significantly (P<.05) over controls, with an average improvement of 3.9%. Either a single Ralgro or Compudose implant at branding increased gain about 2.6%. Implanting with Synovex-C produced 1% improvement in gain.

Toxicity Problems With Ammoniated Dry Roughages (1984), D. Simms, Gerry L. Kuhl, J. Brethour
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
In two trials conducted at the Fort Hays Experiment Station, symptoms of toxicity (hyperexcitability, circling, convulsions, death) were observed in several newborn calves (l to 14 days of age) nursing cows consuming ammoniated forage sorghum hay. None of these symptoms was observed in calves nursing cows consuming untreated hay. No toxicity symptoms were observed in the cows on any treatment. However, several instances of similar symptoms in cattle consuming ammoniated forages have been reported in growing calves and adult cattle in Kansas, Texas, California, and Kentucky. The primary forages involved in these incidents were forage sorghum, hybrid sudan, cereal grain, …
Effects Of Low Voltage Electrical Stimulation During Bleeding On Characteristics Of Beef Loin Eye Top Round Muscles (1984), Donald H. Kropf, Melvin C. Hunt, John A. Unruh, Curtis L. Kastner, Michael E. Dikeman
Effects Of Low Voltage Electrical Stimulation During Bleeding On Characteristics Of Beef Loin Eye Top Round Muscles (1984), Donald H. Kropf, Melvin C. Hunt, John A. Unruh, Curtis L. Kastner, Michael E. Dikeman
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Low voltage electrical stimulation (ES) during bleeding and subsequent carcass chilling at 36 to 46° F resulted in 1) a more rapid pH decline 2) initial lighter red color, but more rapid discoloration during display 3) softer and coarser textured lean 4) reduced water holding capacity and juiciness and 5) decreased tenderness of the loin eye longissimus (LE) muscle when compared to the non-stimulated control (C) LE muscle. ES effects on top round semimembranosus (TR) muscle were limited to a more rapid pH decline and lower water holding capacity. Our results indicate that ES soon after slaughter, coupled with relatively …
Effects Of Low Voltage Electrical Stimulation On Quality Characteristics Of Young Bulls Fed To 14, 16 And 18 Months Of Age (1984), D.G. Gray, John A. Unruh, Curtis L. Kastner, Michael E. Dikeman
Effects Of Low Voltage Electrical Stimulation On Quality Characteristics Of Young Bulls Fed To 14, 16 And 18 Months Of Age (1984), D.G. Gray, John A. Unruh, Curtis L. Kastner, Michael E. Dikeman
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Low voltage electrical stimulation of young bulls at 30 to 45 min after bleeding resulted in a lower muscle pH, higher marbling score, lighter cherry red color and reduced incidence of heat ring formation when compared to non-stimulated controls. Ribeye steaks from electrically stimulated sides were more tender than non-stimulated controls, but bottom round steaks were not different. Our results indicate that low voltage electrical stimulation, incorporated into a continuous slaughter operation as late as 30 to 45 min after bleeding, can improve USDA quality characteristics and tenderness of meat from young bulls.
