The use of silage to counteract the effect of cottonseed meal on the composition and market qualities of butter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from page 58: In general, this experiment shows that very slight effects on the composition of butter result from feeding cottonseed meal with a liberal ration of silage; and that larger changes in the fat constants are to be expected when...

The use of fats in cooking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
The cost of food is the all important question at the present time. Our people must be fed. The problem is to discover what available foods will give the most nutritive value at a minimum cost. When we observe that a pound ...
Study of the factors influencing the composition of beef fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
investigations begun at the Missouri Experiment Station in the spring of 1907, a considerable number of beef animals have been slaughtered. Most of these animals were secured at birth and were fed for definite conditions of development. This investigation...
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...
