The most favorable temperatures for the cooking of some typical foods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
A search through available published material on the subject of the cooking of foods reveals for the most part only recommendations of fairly wide ranges rather than definite limits of temperature for the cooking of specified ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In the past twenty-five years much experimental work has been done with cowpeas, in relation to cultural methods, fertilization, and variety tests, but practically nothing has been written with regard to the direct effect ...
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, ...
The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The experimental work for this thesis was planned to secure information as to the effect of limestone applied to an acid soil (1) on the growth of legumes, (2) on the activities of tuberclue bacteria, and (3) on the amount ...
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 ...
A study of the variations in chemical composition of the timothy and wheat plants during growth and ripening
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
Regarding previous investigations carried out on the chemical composition of timothy and wheat plants, very little work has been made upon wheat roots, no report has been made upon timothy bulbs and no separation has been ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
To study the effect of pregnancy and of nursing on the maintenance requirement of mares
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Abstract taken from three paragraphs of the Introduction to this thesis: A clear understanding of the main principles underlying the nutrition of farm animals has never been more important to the stock farmer than at the ...
