Inhibition Of Ruminal Urease, B.E. Brent, A. Adepoju, F. Portela, D. Richardson
Inhibition Of Ruminal Urease, B.E. Brent, A. Adepoju, F. Portela, D. Richardson
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Rumen bacteria elaborate an enzyme, urease. Urease is capable of breaking down urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. Rumen bacteria then incorporate the ammonia into new amino acids and bacterial protein. Thus, urea can be used as a non-nitrogen source for ruminants. Unfortunately, urease often makes ammonia available faster than it can be used by rumen bacteria. That leads to poor utilization of urea or, in extreme cases, to toxicity.
Sorghum Grain As The Only Protein Source In All-Concentrate Heifer Finishing Rations: Two Levels Of Urea In An All-Concentrate Ration, E.F. Smith, D. Richardson, C.L. Drake, B.E. Brent
Sorghum Grain As The Only Protein Source In All-Concentrate Heifer Finishing Rations: Two Levels Of Urea In An All-Concentrate Ration, E.F. Smith, D. Richardson, C.L. Drake, B.E. Brent
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Tests reporting on sorghum grain as the only protein source in a diet for finishing cattle are reported in Kansas Agr. Expt. Station Bulletins 493 and 507 and on page 24 in this bulletin. The three rations fed are show in table 10. The sorghum grain was obtained as needed at a local elevator, mixed with other ration ingredients at the Animal Husbandry elevator and delivered, usually in 2000 lb. loads to the self feeders when needed.

Corn Vs. Sorghum Grain For Growing-Finishing Pigs (1968), B A. Koch, G Cowman, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Kansas swine growers are quite sure' that corn-fed growing-finishing pigs will outperform those fed sorghum grain. Just as many others feel that sorghum grain is equal to corn in swine rations. Most of the time sorghum grain is lower in price per pound than corn. Research results suggest that corn and sorghum grain are quite similar in chemical composition and in feeding value. Sorghum grain is more variable in crude protein content than corn. One recent comparison between corn and sorghum grain is summarized in this report.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, September 26, 1968

Effects Of Varying Sorghum Grain Soybean Meal Ratios And Added Methionine On Swine Gains, Feed Efficiency And Carcass Composition And Quality (1968), Donald H. Kropf, L H. Kasten, B A. Koch, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Limited work is available on proper protein levels in swine rations when sorghum grain is a major ration component. Remarkable improvement has been made in gaining ability, feed coversion and muscling in swine. Because of continued improvements in these characteristics due to breeding and selection, we need to periodically re-evaluate the requirements for protein and amino acid levels in swine rations. A deterioration in muscle quality' (color, firmness and marbling) seems to be associated with production of lean pork. This prompted a detailed study of muscle quality, carcass composition, feed/gain ratio and gain rate as affected by varying ratios of …

The Cattle Feeding Industry Of Kansas, P. Phar
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The Kansas cattle feeding industry has grown tremendously since 1956. The 1968 January Cattle on Feed Report shows more than ten times as many cattle in commercial feedlots as in 1956. Farm feedlots have also increased, but since 1966 over 50 percent of our cattle have been fed in lots with at least 1,000 head capacity.

The Value Of An Artery Clamp To Dehorn Cattle, C.L. Drake, R.R. Schalles, C.W. Smith
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A preliminary trail involving use of an artery clamp and a drawing and description of the clamp are reported in Bulletin 507. This trial involved 42 horned heifers owned and fed by a cooperating feedlot operator. The heifers were individually weighed and placed on these experimental treatments: 1. Control - not dehorned 2. Dehorned using clamp; arteries pulled 3. Dehorned not using clamp; arteries pulled All heifers were placed in one large lot and fed the same ration for 30 days after being dehorned.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Four previous tests (Kans. Agri. Expt. Sta. Bull. 507:7, 1967) at Colby, Garden City, Manhattan, and Mound Valley, using beef steers from the same herd and feeding the same feedstuffs, grown locally, produced differences in performance. What is the cause(s) of the differences? This test was designed as previous ones, except that all locations used the same feed, which was produced at Garden City. Sorghum silage was dehydrated and pelleted for easier transportation. The calves were wintered on the silage pellets and alfalfa hay. Silage pellets were gradually removed from the ration and sorghum grain added for finishing. Analyses of …

Urea Vs. Soybean Meal In Wintering And Finishing Rations For Beef Steers, D. Richardson, E.F. Smith, B.E. Brent
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A previous test using sorghum silage (Kans. Agri. Expt. Sta. Bull. 507:5, 1967) indicated that 3 pounds of grain per day in silage would supply enough available energy for reasonably good utilization of nonprotein nitrogen (urea). However, additional grain apparently increased the utilization of urea. This is the second test to obtain information on the minimum amount of readily available energy as grain necessary for efficient utilization of nonprotein nitrogen as a substitute for natural protein. During the wintering phase, the roughage was corn silage with an average of 38.5% dry matter. Grain made up 27% of the dry matter. …

The Value Of Dehydrated Alfalfa And Delayed Grain Feeding Young Cows On Winter Bluestem, E.F. Smith, D. Richardson, C.L. Drake, M.C. Hall
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two primary objectives of this test were to: (1) compared dehydrated alfalfa with soybean oil meal as a winter supplemental feed on bluestem pasture for young cows to be bred shortly after the winter feeding period. (2) Determine any merit in feeding grain the last 50 days of the winter period compared with feeding the same total amount of grain throughout the winter when heifers are to be bred shortly after the winter feeding period.
Animal Protein As A Source Of Unidentified Growth Factors For Swine (1968), B A. Koch, G Cowman, Robert H. Hines
Animal Protein As A Source Of Unidentified Growth Factors For Swine (1968), B A. Koch, G Cowman, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Most authorities agree that the value of a protein source is determined by its content of essential amino acids. On that basis soybean meal compares favorably' with the other commonly fed animal protein sources. However, there is some evidence, especially in the poultry research literature, that certain animal protein sources may contain unidentified growth factors. This report describes a trial in which two different animal proteins were fed at the 5% level in place of soybean meal in growing finishing-swine rations.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, September 26, 1968

The need for zinc in swine rations has been firmly established. Likewise the inter-relationships between dietary zinc and other minerals, especially calcium, have been well authenticated. However, there are still many unanswered questions concerning zinc and its place in the swine diet.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, September 26, 1968

Ddvp (Shell Dichlorvos) For Pregnant Sows (1968), B A. Koch, G L. Cowman, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Recent laboratory and research station reports have indicated that 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) (Shell Dichlorvos) fed to pregnant sows late in gestation may have a favorable effect on the newborn pigs. This study was designed to attempt to measure that effect in terms of increased production or improved efficiency in a commercial herd. The commercial swine herd of Arnold and Bob Rose (Cawker City, Kansas) was used in this study which was financed by the Shell Chemical Company. The Rose herd is one of the larger outstanding commercial pork producing units in Kansas. For all practical purposes it is an …

The Effect Of Protein Level And Added Amino Acids In Sorghum Grain-Soybean Meal Rations For Swine (1968), B A. Koch, R D. Howard, Donald H. Kropf, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
More information is needed on the optimum level of protein in sorghum grain-soybean meal rations for swine. Theoretically the protein value of a swine ration should be improved if the most limiting amino acids are added. This experiment was conducted to determine the most favorable level of protein in sorghum grain-soybean meal rations and the effect of added lysine and methionine.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, September 26, 1968
Estrus Synchronization In Swine: Trials With Aimax (I.C.I. 33,838) (1968), G Kiracofe, B A. Koch, Robert H. Hines
Estrus Synchronization In Swine: Trials With Aimax (I.C.I. 33,838) (1968), G Kiracofe, B A. Koch, Robert H. Hines
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Several methods of synchronizing estrus have been tried in swine. One of the oldest and most commonly used natural methods is weaning pigs from a group of sows simultaneously. When this is done, the majority of sows will show estrus 3 to 7 days later if the sows have been nursed for at least 3 weeks. This method is effective and highly fertile; however, in some cases it is not practical to breed at this time and a natural method of synchronization in gilts is not available.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, September 26, 1968

Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods, W.H. Smith, J. Akinokun, R.R. Schalles
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two inbred lines of purebred Shorthorn cattle were established and progressively developed, to study production traits and effects of inbreeding. Inbreeding was initiated in the Wernace Premier Line in 1949 and in the Mercury line in 1952. Both lines have remained closed to outside breeding since. Inbreeding has progressively increased as the result of successive generations of half sibbing.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The Kansas Beef Cattle Improvement Program is to help improve beef cow herds in Kansas and to provide information that will be valuable to producers in selecting breeding animals and making management decisions. The program is not to encourage competition among herds. Environmental conditions vary from herd to herd so competitive among herds cannot be "under the same rules".

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Freeze marking for within-herd identification was used on 65 Hereford females. The cattle were 18 months to nearly three years old. Three numerals were placed on the right rump of each animal in the fall of 1967. The "branding irons" used were four-inch brass numerals with a half inch face. Dry ice and ethyl alcohol were used as the coolant with 40, 50 and or 60 seconds of contact time as well as liquid nitrogen with 39, 35 or 40 seconds of contact. Three men each applied one of the three numerals using dry ice and alcohol coolant with 60 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Studied were the effects of early season heavy stocking and burning on cattle performance, productivity of pastures and range condition as determined by plant population changes. The objective of early season heavy stocking at twice the normal rate for the first half the growing season is to obtain more gain per acre, have cattle available for dry lot finishing at mid summer and determine if the grass will recover the last half of the season. Forage quality is best early in the growing season.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Silage is being utilized in larger quantities in beef cattle growing and fattening rations. Hammes et al. (1964) showed that higher levels of corn silage can be used because gains from high silage and high grain rations are similar. However, more total digestible nutrients may be harvested per acre and the cost of gain is usually less with silage. Several investigators have shown advantages to certain additives with silage.
