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...
Determinations of various forms of nitrogen in bovine flesh, including the products of hydrolysis of some of the proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
When Hausmann introduced his method for nitrogen distribution into protein analysis, he opened the way for great progress in that line of investigation. Winterstein later showed that phoaphotungstic acid would also precipitate ...
Composition of soil as affected by different cropping systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
as the determinations made by Dr. Haigh, are presented in the following thesis. For the present study, eleven plots from the experimental field and the uncultivated soil were selected. The plots are one thirteenth of an acre in size and each has been receiving the given...
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...
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 ...
Comparison of the ash of the new-born calf with that of the full-grown steer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
These analyses of the mineral constituents of bovine feti are a continuation of the work done by Mr. E. E. Vanatta and Mr. A. G. Hogan on a special investigation by the Agricultural College or the University of Missouri. ...
A study of the processes of fat metabolism and methods for the determination of fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
Our present conception of how fat is absorbed is indeed very modern. The most work has been done within the last fifteen or twenty years. It shall be my purpose to go into a detailed account of the work of modern investigators, compare their results...
Factors influencing the normal rate of growth in domestic animals and the permanency of the effect of arrested development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
As the title indicates, the investigation has for its object the determining of the factors influencing the normal rate of growth of domestic animals and the permanency of arrested development. While all these factors ...
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 ...
A study of the effect of the periods of gestation and lactation upon the growth and composition of swine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
Growth is at the base of organic production. In recent years an increasing importance has been attached to its study and to the conditions affecting it. Davenport says: "The importance of the study of growth cannot be over ...
A study of the variations in chemical composition of the timothy and wheat plants during growth and ripening
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
season and make these analyses upon all the parts of the plant. The present work was planned with this idea in view....
To study the effect of pregnancy and of nursing on the maintenance requirement of mares
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Abstract taken from three paragraphs of the Introduction to this thesis: A clear understanding of the main principles underlying the nutrition of farm animals has never been more important to the stock farmer than at the present time...
The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
. These will be presented as they more or less naturally introduce themselves in connection with the other work....
The most favorable temperatures for the cooking of some typical foods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
A search through available published material on the subject of the cooking of foods reveals for the most part only recommendations of fairly wide ranges rather than definite limits of temperature for the cooking of specified ...
