A comparison of the nutritive value of normal and opaque-2 maize for growing pigs in diets containing meat and bone meal with and without amino acid supplementation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Pig meat production in New Zealand has traditionally been associated with the dairy industry, relying upon dairy by-products (principally skim-milk and whey) as major sources of protein and energy for pig feed. However, ...
A study of the effects of plane of nutrition on bovine milk proteins, with particular emphasis on the individual whey proteins : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
Milk and other dairy products comprise a major source of man's food. The milk of the cow (Bos taurus) is of overwhelming importance (F.A.O. Yearbook 1974). Interest in the composition of cows milk stems largely from its ...
The effect of a high ambient temperature on the physiological responses of Friesian and Brahman x Friesian calves fed on two rations : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the rquirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1978)
Eight Friesian and eight Brahman x Friesian (F1) steer calves were kept at 17 or 34.5°C in temperature controlled rooms and fed on hay or concentrate diets in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design for eight weeks. Then eight of the ...
Some aspects of winter grazing systems on wool production : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1978)
A trial was conducted to investigate the effects that 5 different winter grazing systems had on some wool characteristics of pregnant N.Z. Romney ewes. The grazing systems were: (Tl) swedes on a daily break; (T2) three ...
The nutritional value of proteins with special reference to A) The availability of amino acids in meat meals to chicks, and B) The chemical changes with heat-damage of pure proteins : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Meat meals are highly variable in protein quality and this may be due in part to heat-damage. This possibility was investigated by estimating the available lysine content of meat meals by chick growth assay. In addition, ...
Some effects of hot climatic conditions on Brahman x Friesian and Friesian calves fed high and low roughage rations : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1978)
The experiment consists of two parts: the Main trial and Radiant heat stress trial. 1. Main Trial. The effects of temperature, breed type, diet types and their interactions on feed intake, digestibility, liveweight gain ...
Supplementary feeding of dairy cows : a study of the value of greenfeed maize as a summer supplement : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
An experiment is described in which the nutritive value of greenfeed maize as a supplement to lactating dairy cows during the Summer dry period was investigated. Forty Spring calving Friesian cows were allocated to one of ...
The comparison of pasture and concentrates as early-weaning foods for calves : a thesis ... for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science
(Massey University, 1974)
Fourteen Friesian bull calves, born May 1972, were used in an experiment to study the use of pasture compared with concentrates as an early weaning food for calves. Early-weaning was defined as the weaning of calves off a ...
A study of the amino acid status of sheep fed silage, with particular reference to methionine : a thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, New Zealand
(Massey University, 1976)
The amino acid status of sheep fed silage appears to be an important factor in controlling voluntary intake. The basic aim of the experiments described in this thesis, was to study the digestion and utilisation of silage, ...
The nutritive characteristics of maize silage and maize silage/grass rations for cattle : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University, 1973
(Massey University, 1973)
An experiment was conducted to investigate some of the nutritional properties of maize silage, when fed to rising two year old monozygous twin Jersey and Jersey cross cattle, housed indoors. In a preliminary experiment, ...
