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 the great majority...
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 considerable was present...
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 assimilate food. This thesis...
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...
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 carried out...
A study of the chemical composition of steers on different planes of nutrition and of the relative cost of maintenance and growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
This thesis describes the methods and results of an experiment carried out by the author to discover what affect diet has on the composition of beef cattle....
