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 effect of lactation on growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
There are five uses in general to which a dairy cow may put her feed. It may be used for maintenance, for growth, for the production of milk, for the laying on of fat and for the growth of the foetus. In view of the fact ...
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 ...
Silage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
More than one hundred years ago people began the practice of preserving green feed in silos. In this country the first silo above ground was built in 1875, in Michigan. From this beginning the use of the silo has spread ...
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 ...
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 ...
Protein requirements for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The last report of the United States Department of Agriculture shows that it costs $61.40 to raise a dairy heifer until two years of age. Most of this cost as shown by them is the feed, and of the feeds used those of a ...
A study of the relation of type and conformation to production in dairy cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The subject of dairy type and conformation is a question of vital importance to all breeders and students of dairy cattle. It is a well-known fact that from the standpoint of milk production there is no method of ascertaining ...
Effect of cotton seed meal upon the churnability of cream, and the market qualities of the butter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
The results of the investigations already carried out along the line of the effect of cotton seed meal upon butter have been marked by a lack of uniformity of results. In view of this it seems desirable to conduct this ...
The efficiency of certain methods of preserving milk samples for chemical analysis with special reference to the protein constituents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
The need has long been felt for an efficient preservative for milk samples intended for chemical analysis. Since it is not feasible to make all analyses on the fresh sample some means must be used to preserve the milk. The ...
Apparatus and method for determining the hardness of butter fat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
One of the important properties to be taken into account in judging the quality of butter is the so called Body, by which is meant the hardness, consistency or firmness of the butter. Body is described by the butter Judge ...
The per cent of fat in milk as influenced by the fatness of the cow and the plane of nutrition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
The question of the fatness of the cow and plane of nutrition as effecting the per cent of fat in milk has been under investigation at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station for a period of three years. An interest ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
