The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. X. A Comparison Of Open-Pollinated And Hybrid Corn In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. X. A Comparison Of Open-Pollinated And Hybrid Corn In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, W. E. Ham, F. E. Mussehl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
1. The effect of replacing the open-pollinated corn with hybrid corn in an otherwise complete ration was studied in a growth and body analysis experiment with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. The pelleted rations were consumed in identical amounts by all chicks of both lots. 3. There were significant differences in the growth rate of the chicks at the end of a six-weeks feeding trial in favor of the lot fed open-pollinated corn.
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Viii. A Comparison Of Alfalfa Meal And Artificially Dried Sudan Grass Meal In Rations For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Viii. A Comparison Of Alfalfa Meal And Artificially Dried Sudan Grass Meal In Rations For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
1. The effect of replacing the ten parts of alfalfa meal in a ration with artificially dried Sudan-grass meal on an equivalent protein basis was studied in a growth and body-analysis experiment with two lots of day-old chicks. 2. The chicks of both lots consumed equal amounts of dry matter during the feeding trial. 3. There were no significant differences in the growth rate or composition of the chicks at the end of a six weeks' feeding trial.
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Vii. A Comparison Of Corn And Kalo In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Vii. A Comparison Of Corn And Kalo In A Ration For Growing Chicks, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
1. The effect of replacing 31 per cent of ground corn in a ration by 31 per cent of ground kalo was studied in a growth and body-analysis experiment with two lots of newly hatched chicks. 2. The amounts of feed consumed by all chicks of both lots were kept identical by hand-feeding equal amounts of the pelleted rations daily. 3. There were no significant differences in the growth rate or composition of the chicks at the end of a six weeks' feeding trial.
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Ii. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Single And Multiple Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. Ii. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Single And Multiple Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
1. The effect of adding to a basal ration a protein concentrate consisting of meat scraps alone was compared with one made up of a mixture of meat scraps, fish meal, and dried buttermilk by means of growth and body-analysis experiments. 2. The percentages of nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus contained in the chicks of the lot fed the mixture of three proteins were slightly higher than those found in the lot fed meat scraps as the concentrate. 3. The percentage rate of gain and the gain per gram of nitrogen fed were greater in the lot fed the mixture of …
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. I. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Animal And Vegetable Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
The Utilization Of Food Elements By Growing Chicks. I. A Comparison Of Protein Concentrates From Animal And Vegetable Sources, C. W. Ackerson, M. J. Blish, F. E. Mussehl
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
1. The effects of adding to a basal ration, protein concentrates from animal and vegetable sources were studied by means of growth and body-analysis experiments. 2. There was a small increase in the nitrogen content of the chicks fed the animal protein concentrate, but no differences appeared between lots with respect to their content of calcium and phosphorus. 3. The percentage rate of gain and the gain per gram of nitrogen fed were greater in the lot fed the animal protein concentrate. 4. The lot fed the animal protein concentrate retained more of the nitrogen fed, but less of the …
