The minimum protein requirement for growing dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
of protein to be fed growing dairy heifers, to solve the fundamental problems should be conducted with animals receiving purified food substances, and every nutritional factor should be under complete control. It is obvious that this is entirely impractical...
Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
"Comparatively little experimental data are as yet available concerning these problems of raising heifers. The purpose of the author in conducting the experiments reported in this thesis was to add to the data now available ...
Variation in the carbohydrate and diastase contents of the tissues after feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
. His work followed Bernard's (5) discovery of glycogen in 1857, who a little later independently produced similar evidence of glycogenase. Pavy (6) in 1879 corroborated these results of Wittich in 1873, and of Bernard in 1877, extracting the enzyme from...
Normal growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The Federal Office of Farm Management reports (March, 1914) that there are 21,749,651 dairy cows in the United States. Considering the average productive life to be six of seven years, it is evident that 3,000,000 to 3,500,000 heifers must be grown...
Some factors influencing fruitfulness in apples
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
of six commercial varieties, as contrasted with previous opinions based upon casual observation of the entire tree or entire orchard, leads to the- following conclusions: - Jonathan, Grimes and Winesap possess: the ability to develop a fairly high...
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 estimated. The maintenance...
A study of the extent to which growth retarded during the early life of the beef animal can be later regained
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
This thesis describes a study carried out by the author to better understand growth retardation in calves by experimenting with feed rations.
Age as a factor in animal breeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
the experiment has not been more than 2 1/2 years old and data at the disposal of the writer is not at all sufficient to give any conclusive results. In the following pages, first the views of biologists and practical breeders have been given and then the results...
Winter structure and development of apple buds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from page 2: Practical orchard experience shows that much can be done to regulate the fruitfulness of trees. It is apparent, therefore, that if the fruit grower wishes to understand the factors and influences which favor or oppose fruitfulness...

Abstract derived from the Introduction and Literature sections of the thesis: Ensilage as defined by Webster is the material as it appears while being put into the silo. Immediately after the material is stored it begins ...
