The nutrients required for growth by heifers of dairy breeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
.00 in the way of feed to raise a heifer to the age where she commences to return a profit in milk. These statements indicate the size and importance of the question of the proper feeding of dairy animals from birth to the time they come in milk. The larger...
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 3,500,000 heifers must be grown...
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 ...
The effect of different nutritive planes upon the economy of gain and the rate of growth of young cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
the relative growth of different parts of the young animal....
Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The special object of these experiments is to compare the efficiency and economy of rations which are conducive to rapid growth with rations of such character as to admit of but limited growth.
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 nitrogenous nature are always...
Age as a factor in animal breeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
Many breeders believe in the evil effect of early reproduction. It is said that early marriage has led to the degeneracy of many nations. The domestic animals are national assets and their preservation, like the conservatives of other natural...
The influence of breeding young swine upon the parents, the offspring and the breed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
There is no animal contributing directly to the food supply of the people which is at the same time so generaly kept and so little understood as the pig. Nor is there one which, intimately associated as it is with their welfare, is so generally...
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 rearing, which constitute part...
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 effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important factor in the grade 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)
and development. The purpose of this study was to find the effect on growth of the conditions of pregnancy and lactation. It seems reasonable to expect that the production of milk would greatly check growth. The common observation of animals becoming thin in flesh...
Natural & artificial digestion of crude fiber compared with chemical methods of estimation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
in the dung undigested. That is, the total digestion coefficient runs from 84- 65 percent on all the seventeen animals studied on definite feed. An attempt to determine the percent of feed found in the dung has been made by washing out the metabolic nitrogen...
Cotton seed and cotton-seed products as feeds for live stock
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The purpose of this work was to get together the results of the different experiments with cotton seed and cotton seed products in order that comparisons might be made of the feeding values of the different products with ...
Steer feeding : wintering yearling and two year old steers, residual effect of wintering rations on rate and economy of subsequent gains, influence of age on rate and economy of gains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
the Missouri Experiment Station conducted the feeding trials reported in this thesis....
Cage culture of channel catfish in a heated effluent from a power plant, Thomas Hill Reservoir
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1976)
The thermal effluent from electric power plants has been a subject of increased concern because of possible detrimental effects to the enviornment. Power demands in the united states have increased tremendously and may ...
The relation of the fat and lipase content of the liver and kidney under variations in feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
In this present work, by varying the diet of animals (litters of puppies) and by examining the liver and kidney of these animals we will try to present data to show whether or not the lipase concentration of these organs has decreased or increased...
Interaction of organophosphorus insecticide (Ciovap(R)) with phenothiazine anthelmintic in sheep with or without Haemonchus and Trichostrongylus species infection
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1981)
"This study was undertaken to examine the extent of cholinesterase inhibition and clinical effects of repeated topical application of the organophosphorus insecticide (Ciovap (R)) and the oral administration of phenothiazine ...
The relation of type and conformation to production in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from introduction: "The object of this investigation is to determine so far as possible how much importance should be attached to form and type in the selection of dairy cows and to what extent type may be expressed ...
Studies on contagious abortion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
to this, a somewhat detailed report and discussion is given of certain phases of the experimental work on contagious abortion which has been carried out for the past three years or more by the Department of Veterinary Science of the Experiment Station...
