Saving energy with passive systems (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
One of the first ways solar energy was used in agriculture was to modify climatic extremes in cold livestock housing by using passive techniques. Passive techniques are extremely cost effective because they generally add little or nothing...
Using net energy to formulate beef cattle rations (1988)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1988)
Feed energy measures are used to estimate the energy required for a specific animal at various performance levels and to evaluate feeds to supply this energy. The most frequently used measures of feed energy are total digestible nutrients (TON...

Energy conservation and efficiency in farm shops (2015)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2015)
Energy losses in farm shops resemble those in homes, but we often ignore these losses. The farm shop is usually not heated to as high a temperature as the home and not as constantly, but energy savings in the shop are attainable with some...
Energy efficiency and farm water systems (2015)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2015)
Farm water systems are often neglected when it comes to energy efficiency. Although the savings to be realized may not be as great as perhaps energy-efficient lighting, the return can be fairly short for some energy-saving investments. Here are some...
Preparing wood for your wood stove (1996)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1996)
This guide describes one strategy for people who cut and burn one or more cords of wood yearly. If you cut and prepare wood, have a plan, whether it be this one, a modification, or one of your own. A well-planned, one-person operation reduces...
