Silage as a part ration for horses and mules or various ages under varying conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from page 174: This was an initial effort to feed silage as a part ration to horses and mules of various ages and under varying conditions at the Missouri Experiment Station. The data in the 1915-1916 tests are not sufficient to make possible...
The effect of age and condition on the mineral composition of the ash of the bovine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
and in most cases incomplete. Furthermore, a great deal of the data as presented by various investigators cannot be compared because of lack of uniformity in reporting results as well as in the selection of samples for analysis. Forbes in his bulletin on "The...
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...
Minimum protein requirements for the growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
to determine the minimum amount of this constituent necessary to promote their normal growth. With the object of determining such a figure, the Missouri Experiment Station started an experiment in August, 1913. The results of this experiment to date are given...
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...
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...
