Apparatus and method for determining the hardness of butter fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)One of the important properties to be taken into account in judging the quality of butter is the so called Body, by which is meant the hardness, consistency or firmness of the butter. Body is described by the butter Judge ... -
The best winter ration for the dairy heifer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)The increasing demand for dairy cows, and cows of greater efficiency has led to a more systematized rearing of the dairy heifer. The need of a winter ration, considering the economic price and amount of food consumed, is ... -
The cost of milk production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)This condition of milk prices has lead to considerable unrest in the dairy industry. State and federal experts have studied the problem, and extension and country agricultural workers, city chambers of commerce, special ... -
Cream ripening and its relation to butter flavors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)The object of the investigations reported in this thesis was to study a few of the factors affecting the quality of cream before it is churned, and the quality of the butter within a short duration of time after it is ... -
Effect of cotton seed meal upon the churnability of cream, and the market qualities of the butter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)The results of the investigations already carried out along the line of the effect of cotton seed meal upon butter have been marked by a lack of uniformity of results. In view of this it seems desirable to conduct this ... -
The effect of lactation on growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)There are five uses in general to which a dairy cow may put her feed. It may be used for maintenance, for growth, for the production of milk, for the laying on of fat and for the growth of the foetus. In view of the fact ... -
The efficiency of certain methods of preserving milk samples for chemical analysis with special reference to the protein constituents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)The need has long been felt for an efficient preservative for milk samples intended for chemical analysis. Since it is not feasible to make all analyses on the fresh sample some means must be used to preserve the milk. The ... -
The energy requirements for the normal growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)Text from introduction: "There are at least two reasons why more definite knowledge of the energy requirements of growing cattle are desirable. First, the energy requirement of the animal is known to be high and because ... -
Factors affecting the growth of dairy animals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)Text from introduction: All successful breeders are continually striving to improve the quality of their herds. The value of any dairy herd is determined to a great extent by the way in which the heifers within that herd ... -
Investigation of the unsaturated acids of cottonseed oil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)In the course of a study of the methods of analysis of cotton seed oil from linoleic acid, by means of the isolation of the acid as its bromine compound, the end product of the analysis which should have been linoleic ... -
Milk substitutes, powdered skimmilk for raising calves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)Text from introduction: This thesis is a discussion, from the standpoint of our present knowledge of the fundamental principles of animal nutrition, of the possibility of raising calves on "milk substitutes". The experimental ... -
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 ... -
The minimum protein requirement for growing dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)Text from page 1: "By minimum protein requirements of growing dairy heifers is meant the least quantity of protein in the ration which will allow normal growth to proceed. A study or investigation leading to a knowledge ... -
Minimum protein requirements for the growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)In order to reduce the feed cost as much as possible, it is of considerable importance to know the required amount of protein necessary to develop the heifer normally. To best arrive at a protein standard for dairy heifers ... -
Normal growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)The Federal Office of Farm Management reports (March, 1914) that there are 21,749,651 dairy cows in the United States. Considering the average productive life to be six of seven years, it is evident that 3,000,000 to ... -
Nutrients required for developing the fetus in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)A cow may use feed for five purposes as follows: 1) Maintenance 2) Milk Production 3) Increasing body weight 4) Growth, if not mature 5) Developing the fetus. Feeding standards have been established experimentally for all ... -
The nutrients required for growth by heifers of dairy breeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)According to the census figures there are approximately 20,000,000 cows used for dairy purposes in the United States at the present time. It is probably safe to assume that these cows are milked on the average not more ... -
Nutrients required for milk production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)There are three essentials to high yields of milk - proper kind of cows, proper care and management and proper feeding. This investigation will deal only with the last. No matter what the inherent dairy qualities of the ... -
The per cent of fat in milk as influenced by the fatness of the cow and the plane of nutrition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)The question of the fatness of the cow and plane of nutrition as effecting the per cent of fat in milk has been under investigation at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station for a period of three years. An interest ... -
Protein requirements for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)The last report of the United States Department of Agriculture shows that it costs $61.40 to raise a dairy heifer until two years of age. Most of this cost as shown by them is the feed, and of the feeds used those of a ...
