A study of the relation of type and conformation to production in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The subject of dairy type and conformation is a question of vital importance to all breeders and students of dairy cattle. It is a well-known fact that from the standpoint of milk production there is no method of ascertaining ...
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 ...
A study of the effects of cotton seed products upon the composition of butter fat and the churnability of cream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
Practical feeders raise many objections to the feeding of cotton seed meal. In addition to various alleged evil effects on the health of animals to which no consideration will be given in this thesis, cotton seed meal has ...
Influence of characters of ear and kernel upon the germination of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
of the ear and kernel which have a marked influence upon the yield. This is so universal that we have score cards which set forth the ideal type of ear and give certain values to the different characters. In general, the score cards are alike and all agree...
