comprehensive nor far-reaching. Director F.B. Mumford of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Missouri first conceived the idea of conducting an experiment for the determination of the proper age of animals for breeding. Unfortunately...
The effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows

Silage as a part ration for horses and mules or various ages under varying conditions

Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized that these diets would...

Implications of ovarian and uterine maturity evaluated in replacement heifer candidates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
of heifers via reproductive tract evaluation. Disparities in ovarian and uterine maturity may be detected at the time of evaluation in peripubertal heifers. Two experiments were conducted to characterize the incidence and implications of disparate ovarian...
Age as a factor in animal breeding
