Feeding wheat to pigs
(Missouri Agricultural College Experiment Station, 1895)
Reducing losses when feeding hay to beef cattle (2000)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2000)
Feeding hay to cattle is expensive. Recent analyses show that hay costs between $0.02 and $0.07 per pound of dry matter; usually more than double the cost for the same amount of nutrients from pasture. Hay is expensive because (1) it requires a...
The measurement of residual feed intake to determine feed efficiency of pregnant Hereford heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
The large potential improvement in profitability is what makes feed efficiency such a studied and concerned topic in the beef industry today. Currently, no herd exists in the United States that has been selected solely for the purpose of measuring...
Sour milk for chicken feeding
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1916)
Regional projections of feed grain--livestock economy to 1980 : with reference to cattle feeding
(University of Missouri-Columbia, Extension Division, 1972)
Silage for horses and mules
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1914)
Improvement in stored forage utilization during feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Three experiments investigated methods to reduce forage waste during stored forage feeding using large round bale feeders (LRBF). In the first experiment, cone and sheeted LRBF reduced (P < 0.05) fescue hay waste 54 and 29% respectively compared...
Feeding baby chicks
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1927)
Feeding to maximize milk solids (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Proper feeding management of the dairy herd can improve the economy of production and provide for a healthier cow. Feeding to increase production of milk with maximum levels of milk fat and protein is essential for achieving these benefits...
Calculating fertilizer value of supplemental feed for cattle on pasture (2006)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2006)
Most cattle maintained on pasture receive supplemental feed during some portion of the year. Supplements are commonly fed to grazing cattle when pasture forage quality and quantity are below animal requirements....
Corn versus oats for work mules
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1924)
Digestibility of wheat, sudan grass and drouth corn silages by wethers and steers
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957)
Feeding baby chicks
([University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Extension Service], 1939)
Effect of feed restriction and hypothermia on fetal mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
Low birth weights result in high mortality in highly prolific pigs. Anecdotal evidence in sheep and cattle suggests restricting feed early in gestation and/or cooling late in gestation increase birth weights. Therefore, the objective of this study...
Feed consumption and costs for beef cow herds : progress report of Missouri beef cow research panel (1964 records)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1965)
Effect of commercial feed additives on production variables and metabolic markers of the periparturient dairy cow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of commercially available feed additives on production variables and metabolic markers when supplemented during the periparturient period. The hypothesis was that the supplementation...
Limited feeding of finishing swine
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1965)
Rations for livestock and poultry
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1947)
Feeding dairy cattle for proper body condition score (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Body condition score is a critical measure of a dairy feeding system's effectiveness. Adequate body fat reserves promote milk production, reproductive efficiency and herd longevity. Excessively fat cows or overly thin cows run much greater risks...
Creep feeding beef calves (1996)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1996)
Creep feeding is the feeding of concentrates to suckling calves to supplement their mothers' milk. Creep-fed calves usually are heavier and may be fatter at weaning. Milk provides the nutrients suckling calves need until they are about three months...
