The special object of these experiments is to compare the efficiency and economy of rations which are conducive to rapid growth with rations of such character as to admit of but limited growth.
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)

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 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 ...
Milk substitutes, powdered skimmilk for raising calves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from introduction: This thesis is a discussion, from the standpoint of our present knowledge of the fundamental principles of animal nutrition, of the possibility of raising calves on "milk substitutes". The experimental ...
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 energy requirements for the normal growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
Text from introduction: "There are at least two reasons why more definite knowledge of the energy requirements of growing cattle are desirable. First, the energy requirement of the animal is known to be high and because ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nutrients required for milk production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
There are three essentials to high yields of milk - proper kind of cows, proper care and management and proper feeding. This investigation will deal only with the last. No matter what the inherent dairy qualities of the ...
Minimum protein requirements for the growth of dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
In order to reduce the feed cost as much as possible, it is of considerable importance to know the required amount of protein necessary to develop the heifer normally. To best arrive at a protein standard for dairy heifers ...
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 ...
