DES Turn-in Plan to Remove Banned Growth Promoter From Cattle
Kansas State Extension and FDA officials announce a voluntary DES implant turn-in program. County offices act as intermediaries, issuing receipts with no county records to shield participants from future prosecutions. The effort targets outdated implants, with deadlines June 20 to July 13 1980, and urges producers to turn in supplies to avoid traceability risks.

KSU Research Builds Simpler Feed Digestibility Test
Kansas State University animal scientists report on using fecal starch to gauge how well steers digest starch in rations. In a trial with Hereford yearlings, 40 percent sorghum silage reduced daily gains and efficiency, while corn grain form showed no impact. fecal starch and pH varied greatly, signaling more study needed before a reliable fecal starch test emerges.

Heifers Prove Durable Despite Early Illnesses
Kansas State University researchers reported at the Midwest Section of the American Society of Animal Science meeting that weaned heifer calves sick with pneumonia or diarrhea may not be disadvantaged in calf production. In a study of 168 Angus and crossbred heifers, 79 fell ill but, with treatment, showed no significant differences in weight, puberty onset, or conception compared with healthier herdmates by breeding time.
