The coefficient of digestion as influenced by the plane of nutrition of the animal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)A review of the literature reporting digestion experiments shows that but few investigators have studied the problem of digestion from the point of view of the influence of the condition of the animal on its ability to ... -
Comparison of the ash of the new-born calf with that of the full-grown steer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)These analyses of the mineral constituents of bovine feti are a continuation of the work done by Mr. E. E. Vanatta and Mr. A. G. Hogan on a special investigation by the Agricultural College or the University of Missouri. ... -
Composition of soil as affected by different cropping systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)Among the experiments in soil fertility which are being carried out by the University of Missouri College of Agriculture is a series of plot experiments which have been in progress since 1889. There are thirty-nine plots ... -
The concentration of radium and mesothrorium bromides by fractional crystallization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)Text from page 4: "In the course of this study we were led to the conclusion that the crystallization factor is independent of the acid concentration and varies only with the percent of crystals separating out. Our ... -
Determinations of various forms of nitrogen in bovine flesh, including the products of hydrolysis of some of the proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)When Hausmann introduced his method for nitrogen distribution into protein analysis, he opened the way for great progress in that line of investigation. Winterstein later showed that phoaphotungstic acid would also precipitate ... -
The effect of age and condition on the mineral composition of the ash of the bovine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)It has long been known that the ash constituents or the mineral elements of the body bear an important relation to body structure and life processes of animals. However, the amount of data on the composition of the ash of ... -
Factors influencing the normal rate of growth in domestic animals and the permanency of the effect of arrested development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)As the title indicates, the investigation has for its object the determining of the factors influencing the normal rate of growth of domestic animals and the permanency of arrested development. While all these factors ... -
Horse flesh and its digestibility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)The use of horse flesh as a human food is a custom as old as that of using the flesh of any other food producing animal. Proof of its use by the cave men has been unearthed in Northern Europe by archaeologists. Judging ... -
Investigation upon the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content of three beef animals, with special study upon the forms of sulfur
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)This thesis explores the chemical composition of beef cattle, with special attention given to nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content. A review of previous research is provided as well as a description of an experiment ... -
A method for the determination of small amounts of chlorine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)Text from page 3: "In this paper, the authors, in determining the amount of occluded barium chloride in barium sulphate precipitated in the usual manner made use of the foregoing method." -
Minimum milk requirement for calf raising
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)The dairyman is keenly interested in knowing how he can raise his calves in an economical and successful manner. This thesis reports the results of several experiments in early weaning and minimum use of milk for calf ... -
Natural & artificial digestion of crude fiber compared with chemical methods of estimation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)In digestion trials at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station on feeding steers in the "Use of Food" investigations it has been found that 84- 65 percent of the total feed is digested while it was observed that ... -
Phosphorus in beef animals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1910)This study constitutes but a part of the results obtained from the Experiment "Uses to Which the Animal Puts Its Food" now being conducted by the University of Missouri, and considers the quantity, and to some extent the ... -
Study of the chemical composition of a full-term bovine foetus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)Attention has been frequently directed to the prenatal development of various animals, as well as of man. This embryonic development of the bovine foetus is to be the subject of special investigation by the Agricultural ... -
A study of the chemical composition of steers on different planes of nutrition and of the relative cost of maintenance and growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)This thesis describes the methods and results of an experiment carried out by the author to discover what affect diet has on the composition of beef cattle. -
A study of the effect of the periods of gestation and lactation upon the growth and composition of swine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)Growth is at the base of organic production. In recent years an increasing importance has been attached to its study and to the conditions affecting it. Davenport says: "The importance of the study of growth cannot be over ... -
A study of the extent to which growth retarded during the early life of the beef animal can be later regained
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)This thesis describes a study carried out by the author to better understand growth retardation in calves by experimenting with feed rations. -
A study of the factors influencing the ability of the animal to digest its food
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)The purpose of the digestion trials, to be discussed in this paper, was to determine the effect of various factors on the ability of the animal to digest its food. The object of these experiments is somewhat different from ... -
Study of the factors influencing the composition of beef fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)The views upon the origin of body fat have undergone a number of changes in the last sixty or seventy years. These views have changed from the idea that body fat originated from the ingested fat to the later views that it ... -
A study of the processes of fat metabolism and methods for the determination of fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)Our present conception of how fat is absorbed is indeed very modern. The most work has been done within the last fifteen or twenty years. It shall be my purpose to go into a detailed account of the work of modern investigators, ...
