Silage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
questions that do not seem to be fully and satisfactorily answered. A series of experiments were carried on by the Dairy Department of the Missouri Agricultural College during the winters of 1913-1914 and 1914-1915. The work for 1913-1914 was carried on by D...
Investigation of the unsaturated acids of cottonseed oil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In the course of a study of the methods of analysis of cotton seed oil from linoleic acid, by means of the isolation of the acid as its bromine compound, the end product of the analysis which should have been linoleic ...
Study of difficult churning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
There is at the present time a lack of definite knowledge as to why cream, at certain times, fails to give up its fat in the form of butter. This trouble occurs most commonly where only one or two cows are kept, the usual ...
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...
Cream ripening and its relation to butter flavors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The object of the investigations reported in this thesis was to study a few of the factors affecting the quality of cream before it is churned, and the quality of the butter within a short duration of time after it is ...
Silage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
, chemical and bacterial changes, that continue for about fourteen days, at which time the material is known as silage. Thus silage formation includes all the physical, chemical and bacterial changes which take place in the silo the first fourteen days after...
The pure milk problem of the small town. A survey and movement for improving the milk supply of St. Charles, MO.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from page 9: There is need for considerable study of the exact importance of the milk problem of the small town and of the proper means of remedying bad conditions. In this work the agricultural colleges should be of ...
The use of silage to counteract the effect of cottonseed meal on the composition and market qualities of butter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from page 58: In general, this experiment shows that very slight effects on the composition of butter result from feeding cottonseed meal with a liberal ration of silage; and that larger changes in the fat constants ...
Factors affecting the growth of dairy animals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from introduction: All successful breeders are continually striving to improve the quality of their herds. The value of any dairy herd is determined to a great extent by the way in which the heifers within that herd ...
The minimum protein requirement for growing dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
Text from page 1: "By minimum protein requirements of growing dairy heifers is meant the least quantity of protein in the ration which will allow normal growth to proceed. A study or investigation leading to a knowledge ...
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 ...
Nutrients required for developing the fetus in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
A cow may use feed for five purposes as follows: 1) Maintenance 2) Milk Production 3) Increasing body weight 4) Growth, if not mature 5) Developing the fetus. Feeding standards have been established experimentally for all ...
The cost of milk production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
This condition of milk prices has lead to considerable unrest in the dairy industry. State and federal experts have studied the problem, and extension and country agricultural workers, city chambers of commerce, special ...
Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from introduction: The experiment stationre ports show that it costs $70 to raise a heifer to two years old, and that 70 percent of this cost is for feed. The greater portion of this c ost is for feed when the animals ...
The best winter ration for the dairy heifer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
The increasing demand for dairy cows, and cows of greater efficiency has led to a more systematized rearing of the dairy heifer. The need of a winter ration, considering the economic price and amount of food consumed, is ...
Minimum milk requirement for calf raising
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
The dairyman is keenly interested in knowing how he can raise his calves in an economical and successful manner. This thesis reports the results of several experiments in early weaning and minimum use of milk for calf ...
A study of the effects of cotton seed products upon the composition of butter fat and the churnability of cream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
Practical feeders raise many objections to the feeding of cotton seed meal. In addition to various alleged evil effects on the health of animals to which no consideration will be given in this thesis, cotton seed meal has ...
The nutrients required for growth by heifers of dairy breeds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
According to the census figures there are approximately 20,000,000 cows used for dairy purposes in the United States at the present time. It is probably safe to assume that these cows are milked on the average not more ...
