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 ...
Some aspects of absorption, translocation and metabolism of two foliar applied auxin herbicides in gorse (Ulex europaeus L.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Since Ulex europaeus is a problem scrub weed in New Zealand hill country, glasshouse and laboratory experiments were undertaken to study factors relating to the absorption of 2,4-D and picloram and the translocation and ...
The effects of nitrate nitrogen and phosphate on the nodulation and nitrogen fixation of white cliver (Trifolium repens L.): a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
It is a well established fact that the presence of nitrate ions can depress nodule development on legume roots, but recent studies in Queensland (Gates, 1970) have shown that this sensitivity can be ameliorated if phosphate ...
The role of plant lipases in the bovine rumen : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry
(Massey University, 1974)
The role of plant lipases in the hydrolysis of dietary lipids in the rumen of pasture-fed ruminants has been investigated by means of in vitro and in vivo experiments with rumen contents. Lipases present in the leaves of ...
A study of the efficiency of feed utilization in young Friesian bulls fed cut pasture : 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)
An investigation was undertaken into the efficiency of feed utilisation of Friesian bulls. Of major interest was the comparison of efficiency of feed utilisation in two groups of bulls selected for extreme differences in ...
A comparative study of the casein micelles of caprine, ovine and bovine milks : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physiology at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Several different hypotheses of casein micelle structure have been proposed from the data obtained in the investigations carried out on micelles over the past twenty years. The present comparative study of caprine (goat) ...
Investigations into the copper status of sheep grazing at different stocking levels : 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)
A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the possible role of copper in limiting animal production at high stocking rates. Copper and selenium were administered to 494 four-tooth Romney ewes grazing at two ...
Changes in inhibitor levels, stomatal aperture, and growth of Pisum sativum L. subjected to wilting stress cycles during different developmental stages : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Horticultural Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Plants of Pisum Sativum L., grown under controlled environmental
conditions, were subjected to wilting stress cycles at different developmental
stages and analyzed for changes in inhibitor levels, stomatal aperture,
water ...
Analytical, geochemical and biogeochemical studies of tungsten and molybdenum : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Section I : studies were carried out which significantly improved the sensitivity of the colorimetric method for the determination of tungsten in geochemical and plant samples with dithiol. Proton-induced x-ray fluorescence ...
The viscosity and molecular conformation of galactomannans in solution : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics Department, Massey University
(Massey University, 1974)
Two galactomannans, from the seeds of Guar (Cyanopsis tetragonoloba) and Carob (Ceretonia siliqua) also known as Locust Bean, have found widespread use as industrial hydrocolloids. Many other galactomannans have been ...
