Cotton seed and cotton-seed products as feeds for live stock
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The purpose of this work was to get together the results of the different experiments with cotton seed and cotton seed products in order that comparisons might be made of the feeding values of the different products with each other and with other...
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 effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
The frequency with which valuable animals reproduce themselves has always been a factor of economic importance in the pure bred cattle business. Great economic changes during the last few years have made this an important ...
Determining the efficacy of a biosensor to detect calpastatin, a meat tenderness indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An instrumental tenderness detection system used at the time of grading to sort beef carcasses on their predicted tenderness would be valuable for the beef industry. A biosensor to accurately predict calpastatin, the ...
Approaches for alleviating toxic effects of aflatoxin in lactating dairy cows and weanling pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and death in humans and animals, safe, practical and effective strategies for alleviating or preventing the toxic effects of AF are highly desirable. Therefore, two experiments were conducted to evaluate two approaches for reducing the toxic effects...
The relation of type and conformation to production in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from introduction: "The object of this investigation is to determine so far as possible how much importance should be attached to form and type in the selection of dairy cows and to what extent type may be expressed ...
Exploration of fecal microbial transfer and the competitive exclusion concept in broilers as a possible alternative to antibiotic growth promoters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Four studies were conducted to explore the effects of early life Fecal Microbiota Transfer (FMT) from healthy feed efficient finished broilers into day-old broiler chicks on growth performance indices, changes and or ...
Effects of continous administration of low-dose of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in chicks and poults fed non toxic doses of aflatoxin B1 and T-2 toxin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Six studies (three with broilers and three with turkeys) were conducted to determine if E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) would enhance the effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and the T-2 toxin (T-2) in chicks and poults fed ...
Ruminal degradation of protein and carbohydrate in the domestic and wild ruminant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
protein (RUP) for the animal. The first experiment in this study examined the level of feed-grade crystalline amino acids (AA) required in a diet to provide appreciable levels of limiting AA as RUP. The solubility of these AA in a mixed rumen culture...
Uterine regulation of preimplantation embryo development in fertility-classified heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, serial embryo transfer (3-4 rounds) was used to classify heifers based on pregnancy success on day 28 as high fertile (HF; 100%), subfertile (SF; 25%), or infertile (IF; 0%). Next, a series of experiments were conducted using the fertility...
Applications of ancestry estimation in cattle population genetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Accounting for ancestry and cryptic population structure is important in population genetic data analysis. The estimation of ancestry can help elucidate the effects of admixture or stratification on allele and genotype ...
Alleviation of heat stress with Tasco in dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The present study determined the impact of Tasco, Ascophyllum nodosum, on heat stress in dairy cows. Thirty-two Holstein cows were utilized in a randomized complete block design, during 63 days in summer 2008. Feed intake, ...
