Effect Of Select Menhaden Fish Meal And Dried Whey In Starter Diets For Pigs (1987), G R. Stoner, G L. Allee, Jim L. Nelssen, M E. Johnston
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A growth trial was conducted to examine the effects of select menhaden fish meal (SMFM) and dried whey (DW) in starter diets for pigs. A total of 240, 3-wk-old, weaned pigs averaging 12.1 lb were utilized. Pigs did not receive creep feed and were introduced to the experimental diets immediately upon weaning. The trial was conducted for 4 wk. A factorial design with 3 levels of SMFM (0, 4, and 8%) and 2 levels of OW (10 and 20%) was employed. Analysis of the data indicated no SMFM x DW interaction by the end of wk 4. Inclusion of SMFM …

Effect Of Various Anthelmintics On Growing-Finishing Swine Reared On Dirt Lots (1987), Robert H. Hines, D A. Schoneweis
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two trials involving 262 pigs were conducted to evaluate five worming programs for growing-finishing pigs fed on dirt lots heavily infected with roundworm (Ascarid) eggs. The control pigs (no anthelmentic) were compared in performance (ADG, F/G) and lung liver lesions at slaughter with pigs that received ivermectin on day 1 or day 28, pyrantel tartrate for the first 28 days, or purge treatments between day 28 to 31 with dichlovos or fenbendazole. All pigs gained at a similar rate regard less of treatment; however, those pigs receiving fenbendozole were 8.4% more efficient and those receiving Ivermectin on day 28 were …

Grazing And Feedlot Performance Of Heifers Spayed By Two Methods, S.B. Laudert, Gerry L. Kuhl, A.J. Edwards
Grazing And Feedlot Performance Of Heifers Spayed By Two Methods, S.B. Laudert, Gerry L. Kuhl, A.J. Edwards
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two field trials were conducted to compare the pasture and finishing performance of heifers spayed by the Kimberling-Rupp(K-R) technique or by flank spaying plus autografting a piece of ovarian tissue into the rumen wall (FS+A). In trial 1, neither spaying method resulted in gains of grazing heifers different from that of intake controls; however, FS+A heifers gained 5.1% faster than K-R spayed heifers. In trial 2, grazing gains of heifers spayed by the two techniques were similar. During the finishing phase, no performance difference was found among intact, K-R, or FS+A heifers in trial 1 or between K-R and FS+A …
Effect Of Bovatec® Level In Supplemental Feed On Performance And Forage Utilization Characteristics Of Wintering Beef Cattle, R.C. Cochran, L.R. Corah, K.A. Jacques, T.B. Avery, K.O. Zoellner, J.F. Higginbotham
Effect Of Bovatec® Level In Supplemental Feed On Performance And Forage Utilization Characteristics Of Wintering Beef Cattle, R.C. Cochran, L.R. Corah, K.A. Jacques, T.B. Avery, K.O. Zoellner, J.F. Higginbotham
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Various levels of lasalocid (Bovatec®) added to a protein supplement did not improve weight or condition change of beef cows grazing poor quality winter pasture. Similarly, calf birth weight and most forage utilization characteristics (e.g., intake, passage rate, and fermentation characteristics) were not altered by Bovatec level. Although forage digestibility was influenced by Bovatec level, changes were not sufficient to influence performance characteristics.
Influence Of Sorghum Grain Supplementation On Forage Utilization By Beef Steers Consuming Immature Bluestem, E.S. Vanzant, A.A. Beharka, R.C. Cochran, T.B. Avery, K.A. Jacques
Influence Of Sorghum Grain Supplementation On Forage Utilization By Beef Steers Consuming Immature Bluestem, E.S. Vanzant, A.A. Beharka, R.C. Cochran, T.B. Avery, K.A. Jacques
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Supplementing beef steers consuming immature bluestem with 0, 1, 2, or 4 lbs of sorghum grain daily did not affect forage intake. Thus, total intake increased as level of grain increased. Total dry matter, cell wall, and starch digestibilities were mildly depressed with increasing grain. Rumen fill and rates of passage were similar for all treatments, and differences in rumen fermentation characteristics were minimal.

Effect Of Limited-Creep Feeding Calves Of Spring-Calving Cows Grazing Native Grass, F. Brazle, Gerry L. Kuhl, L. Corah, K. Zoellner
Effect Of Limited-Creep Feeding Calves Of Spring-Calving Cows Grazing Native Grass, F. Brazle, Gerry L. Kuhl, L. Corah, K. Zoellner
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two limited-creep feeding trials were conducted with spring-born, suckling calves on native grass. The high-energy creep rations containing an ionophore were fed during the last 63 or 85 days before weaning in the two trials. Creep intake was limited with salt to about 1.5 lb per calf daily. Calves consuming the limited-creep feeds gained .26 to .31 lb more per head daily and required 4.4 to 5.5 lb of creep per lb of extra weaning weight.
Increasing Litter Size In Swine Herds (1987), Duane L. Davis, Jeffrey S. Stevenson, J Ernest Minton
Increasing Litter Size In Swine Herds (1987), Duane L. Davis, Jeffrey S. Stevenson, J Ernest Minton
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Management and biological factors combine to limit litter size in swine herds. With present technology, improving litter size depends upon increasing the number born in the first litter and prolonging sow longevity. Methods for improving size of the first litter rely on increasing the number of eggs ovulated and include flushing (increased feed for at least 10 days before breeding), selecting breeds with high ovulation rates, and delaying breeding until after the pubertal or first estrus. The first two methods are the most cost effective under farm conditions. Because litter size peaks at the fourth or fifth litter, it is …
Evaluating Serving Capacity Of Yearling Beef Bulls - A Field Trial (1987), G. Boyd, L. Corah
Evaluating Serving Capacity Of Yearling Beef Bulls - A Field Trial (1987), G. Boyd, L. Corah
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Results from two trials showed that serving capacity (SC) can be successfully evaluated in yearling beef bulls under field conditions and is influenced by sire line (P<.01). Also, providing sexual experience to low SC yearling bulls can improve SC and should be a standard part of the test. Scrotal circumference and breeding soundness examination scores, both traditional measures of bull fertility, were unrelated to SC.
Effects Of Trenbolone Acetate And Zeranol Implants On Performance, Carcass, And Meat Traits Of Young Bulls And Steers (1987), R.D. Johnson, Michael E. Dikeman
Effects Of Trenbolone Acetate And Zeranol Implants On Performance, Carcass, And Meat Traits Of Young Bulls And Steers (1987), R.D. Johnson, Michael E. Dikeman
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Implanting young bulls and steers with trenbolone acetate and zeranol (Ralgro ®) resulted in increased slaughter weights and carcasses that tended to have more marbling than those of control bulls. Furthermore, steaks from both implanted bulls and implanted steers tended to have less detectable connective tissue. Control bulls had larger scrotal circumferences and heavier testicle weights than implanted bulls. Other secondary sex characteristics were not affected, but in these bulls slaughtered at an average age of 13.6 months, sexual development was minimal. Implanting steers with trenbolone acetate and zeranol resulted in performance and carcass and meat quality slightly superior to …
Effects Of Pneumo-Guard H® And Vitamin E On Gain And Health Of Stockers Purchased As Steers And Bulls (1987), F. Brazle
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Pneumo-Guard H® and injectable Vitamin E did not improve cattle gain or reduce treatments required per animal during a 29-day receiving trial. Stockers purchased as steers gained faster (P<.001) and required fewer (P<.001) treatments per animal than bulls castrated on arrival.
Efficacy Of Depo-Mga® In Feedlot Heifers (1987), Jack G. Riley, Ronald V. Pope, L. O'Neill
Efficacy Of Depo-Mga® In Feedlot Heifers (1987), Jack G. Riley, Ronald V. Pope, L. O'Neill
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three levels of melengestrol acetate (30, 60, and 90 mg) injected subcutaneously as a liquid (DEPO-MGA ®) in the ear of heifers yielded high performance results comparable to feeding 0.5 mg of MGA per head daily. Heifers fed 0.5 mg MGA daily gained 6% faster and were 11% more efficient than heifers not receiving MGA. This study will be pooled with trials from 13 other locations in the U.S. to determine if further development and FDA clearance of DEPO-MGA ® will be pursued by the Upjohn Company.
Effect Of Sprouting And Weather Damage On Feeding Value Of Grain Sorghum (Summary Of Beef, Swine, And Poultry Trials) (1987), H. Turlington, G. Allee, Jack G. Riley, Ronald V. Pope
Effect Of Sprouting And Weather Damage On Feeding Value Of Grain Sorghum (Summary Of Beef, Swine, And Poultry Trials) (1987), H. Turlington, G. Allee, Jack G. Riley, Ronald V. Pope
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Grain sorghum officially graded as 39% damaged (sprouted) with 10% broken kernels or foreign material was fed to beef steers, growing swine, and broilers to compare its feeding value to that of normal grain sorghum. Damaged grain constituted 0, 50, or 100% of the grain portion of the rations. Cattle performance during a 57-day finishing period was not reduced by feeding sprouted grain sorghum. However, the swine and broiler trials suggest that sprouted grain sorghum has a slightly lower energy value.
Raw Soybeans As A Protein Source For Growing Cattle (1987), S. Anderson, Robert T. Brandt Jr.
Raw Soybeans As A Protein Source For Growing Cattle (1987), S. Anderson, Robert T. Brandt Jr.
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A 60-day growth trial with 170 exotic crossbred steers (avg. wt. 626 lbs) was conducted to assess the value of raw soybeans in silage-based diets. Protein supplements were based on 1) urea, 2) urea plus soybean oil (SBO), 3) soybean meal (SBM), 4) SBM plus SBO, 5) rolled (RSB), and 6) whole (WSB) soybeans. Soybean oil was added to treatments 2 and 4 in amounts equivalent to that contributed from raw soybeans. Total diets were 11.5% crude protein. Steers fed SBM gained faster (P<.05) and consumed more feed than those fed RSB or WSB. However, SBO added back to the SBM diet resulted in performance similar to that of steers fed RSB or WSB (P=.47). This suggests that the protein value of SBM and raw soybeans was similar, but that small increments (less than 2% of diet dry matter) of soybean lipid inhibited ruminal diet digestion and(or} utilization. There was no advantage for rolling raw soybeans vs. feeding them whole (P=.45). Costs of gain were urea

Color Formation And Retention In Fresh Beef (1987), Donald H. Kropf, Melvin C. Hunt, D. Piske
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted two studies in response to a severe problem with ground beef color encountered by beef fabricators and retailers. We concluded that: (1) Loss of muscle chemical-reducing capability upon grinding, with subsequent color deterioration, results from both the mechanical effect of grinding and incorporation of oxygen into the beef. (2) Flat, thin, surface muscles from beef carcasses retain more ability to bloom (turn bright red) if they are removed by hot boning or after a relatively short chill period.

Influence Of Ionophore Addition To A High-Concentrate Diet On Net Nutrient Absorption In Steers (1987), D.L. Harmon, K.L. Gross, T.B. Avery
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Feeding the ionophores monensin and lasalocid In a high-concentrate diet resulted in gut tissues utilizing less glucose. Monensin caused less urea to be recycled. The new, experimental ionophore (lCI 139603) resulted in an increased net absorption of acetate. Thus, ionophores may differ in how they execute their effects on feed efficiency.
Effects Of Energy Level And Lasalocid On Productivity Of Fall-Calving, First-Calf Heifers (1987), T. Goehring, L. Corah, James J. Higgins
Effects Of Energy Level And Lasalocid On Productivity Of Fall-Calving, First-Calf Heifers (1987), T. Goehring, L. Corah, James J. Higgins
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Fall-calving, first-calf heifers (136 head) were fed TDN levels approximating 85% or 100% of NRC recommendations, with or without 200 mg/hd/day lasalocid. Those fed the recommended diet gained more weight from 130 days prepartum to calving and showed more improvement in condition score before calving than those on the low-energy diet. After calving, the group fed the recommended energy level lost less weight and condition and had better reproductive performance than the low-energy group. The only effect of lasalocid was to improve calf performance in the low-energy group.
Relationship Of Age At Puberty And Postpartum Interval To Estrus In Angus X Hereford And Brahman X Hereford Females (1987), D.J. Patterson, L.R. Corah, J.R. Brethour, W.R. Negus
Relationship Of Age At Puberty And Postpartum Interval To Estrus In Angus X Hereford And Brahman X Hereford Females (1987), D.J. Patterson, L.R. Corah, J.R. Brethour, W.R. Negus
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Records of age at puberty (AAP) and postpartum interval to estrus (PPI) for heifers calving first at 2 years of age were used to determine the relationship between the two reproductive parameters. In Brahman x Hereford (BxH) females, there was no relationship between AAP and PPJ. In Angus x Hereford (AxH) females, PPI increased as AAP decreased. The data suggest that heifers heavier at weaning reach puberty younger, but PPJ may be longer following their first calving. Heifers larger at weaning may need to be managed differently to improve performance during the first postpartum period.
Calving And Reproductive Performance Of Angus X Hereford And Brahman X Hereford Heifers Fed To Prebreeding Target Weights (1987), D.J. Patterson, L.R. Corah, J.R. Brethour, W.R. Negus
Calving And Reproductive Performance Of Angus X Hereford And Brahman X Hereford Heifers Fed To Prebreeding Target Weights (1987), D.J. Patterson, L.R. Corah, J.R. Brethour, W.R. Negus
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The effect of heifer development on first calving and subsequent reproductive performance was evaluated in Angus x Hereford (AxH) and Brahman x Hereford (BxH) females. Heifers were fed to reach either 55% or 65% of their projected mature body weight by the start of their first breeding season. After breeding, the heifers were managed as a typical commercial range beef cow herd. Angus x Hereford heifers developed to the higher prebreeding target weights: 1) were heavier (P<.05) at calving; 2) had larger (P<.05) total precalving pelvic areas; and 3) had higher (P<.05) average postcalving body condition scores. Precalving pelvic areas were also greater (P<.05) among BxH females developed to the higher prebreeding target weight. Angus x Hereford heifers fed to the low target weight experienced 23.5% more calving problems (52.3 vs 28.8%). Only 11.3% of the BxH heifers required assistance at calving, and calving difficulty was not related to nutritional level. Postpartum interval to estrus (PPJ) was longer among low target AxH heifers, but not in BxH heifers. Calf weaning weight was not affected by heifer development; however, weights were heavier for calves raised by the BxH heifers. These data suggest that differences in weight and condition prior to first breeding persist through to the heifer's first calving and postpartum period.

Influence Of Mixtures Of High Moisture Corn And Dry Rolled Wheat On Finishing Performance And Carcass Characteristics (1987), B.J. Bock, Robert T. Brandt Jr., D.L. Harmon
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Dry rolled wheat and high moisture corn were fed singly and in three combinations in a 132-day finishing trial. Daily gain, feed intake, and final live weight were greatest on the 75% corn:25% wheat diet. Feed efficiencies and carcass characteristics were not affected by grain combination. Daily gain and feed intake tended to decrease as percentage of wheat in the diet increased above 25%.
Detection Of Elastin, Collagen, And Cartilage Particles In Ground Beef By Enzyme Digestion And Sensory Analysis (1987), G. Whipple, J.B. Axe, S. Goll, Curtis L. Kastner
Detection Of Elastin, Collagen, And Cartilage Particles In Ground Beef By Enzyme Digestion And Sensory Analysis (1987), G. Whipple, J.B. Axe, S. Goll, Curtis L. Kastner
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
An enzyme digestion technique was developed using a proteolytic enzyme concentrate to quantitate connective tissue particles in ground beef samples, which had been formulated to contain various amounts of connective tissue. Replicate samples were also evaluated by a taste panel to quantify detectable connective tissue particles. Results for the laboratory enzyme technique and the taste panel were highly correlated. Therefore, the enzyme digestion technique can be used to estimate total connective tissue in ground beef and those particles that are detected upon chewing.

Effects Of Mga And Prostaglandin On Estrus Induction And Synchronization In Cows And Heifers (1987), R.C. Perry, G.W. Boyd, T.B. Goehring, L.R. Corah
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Four trials were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Melegestrol Acetate (MGA ®) and prostaglandin (PGF) in inducing and synchronizing estrus. In trial 1, treated heifers were fed MGA for 7 days and given a PGF injection on either the first or last day of MGA feeding. The 7-day estrus response was higher (P<.01) for treated heifers than untreated controls. In trial 2, treated cows were fed MGA for 7 days and given a PGF Injection on the last day of MGA feeding or 13 days after the last day of MGA feeding. The 7-day estrus response was also higher (P<.01) in treated cows. In trial 3, 59 cows were fed MGA for 7 days followed by a PGF injection, and exposed to bulls for 66 days. The MGA-PGF treatment was ineffective in synchronizing estrus and hastening conception. In trial 4, feeding MGA for 7 days successfully synchronized estrus in. cycling cows, but first service conception rates were reduced by 10% in the Kansas study and by 16% in a four state study.

Effect Of Several Spaying Methods On Grazing Heifer Gains, Gerry L. Kuhl, T. Goehring, B. Ritter, S. Laudert, W. Mccully
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Several spaying and ovarian autografting methods were tested in three field trials with 658 grazing heifers. None of the techniques examined were found to have a beneficial effect on heifer gains compared to intact controls. Heifers' initial weight, frame size, and body condition score were associated with cattle performance; however, their relative impact on gains varied across the three trials.
Effect Of Supplemental Protein:Energy Ratio On The Intake, Digestibility, Fill, And Turnover Of Dormant Bluestem Range-Grasses, T. Delcurto, R.C. Cochran, K.A. Jacques, D.L. Harmon, G. Towne, T.B. Avery, E.S. Vanzant

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Feeding a low crude protein (12%) supplement depressed dormant bluestem range-grass fiber digestibility, whereas moderate (27%) and high (41 %) protein supplementation maintained forage digestibility and encouraged intake. Increased intake for moderate and high protein groups appeared to be associated with increased rumen dry matter and indigestible fiber fill.

Effect Of Display Lighting On Fresh Pork Longissimus Packaged In Oxygen-Permeable And Oxygen-Barrier Films (1987), S Hung, Melvin C. Hunt, Donald H. Kropf
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Longissimus samples from seven pork loins were used to determine display color stability when packaged in oxygen-permeable (polyviny lchloride, PVC) film and when vacuum packaged. Color scores were different at all times when evaluation was done under display lighting, with poorest color under Cool White and most desirable color under NAFA or Grolux Wide Spectrum. Since differences were minor or non-existent when evaluation was under a common light, we conclude that a different color rendition caused the differences noted and no photochemical effect occurred.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1987
