Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nutrition of Farm Animals The manner in which the subject of the nutrition of farm animals is presented to the student will naturally differ according to the ultimate end in view. If the prime purpose is to impart practical skill in the feeding of live stock, the study of the principles of nutrition is likely to be regarded as preliminary and to partake of the nature of an information course, and chief stress will be laid upon familiarity with the results of experience, particularly as related to the business aspects of the subject, and to the acquisition of practical skill. But while by no means disposed to minimize the significance of this aspect of the subject, the writer is nevertheless convinced that for the students of our agricultural colleges a somewhat different procedure is desirable. He believes that greater emphasis than they sometimes receive may wisely be laid upon the chemical and physiological laws which underlie the practice of feeding, both on account of their intrinsic importance and because the subject may thus be made a real collegiate discipline which shall contribute to the training as well as to the information of the student. Accordingly, the present volume attempts to deal primarily with the natural laws governing the nutrition of farm animals, as distinguished from the broader field of animal husbandry, and only secondarily with the specific details of practice. It seeks to avoid so far as may be mere dogmatic statements, and, although not attempting complete citation of literature even upon important points, to present the experimental evidence with sufficient fullness to indicate something of the limitations of present knowledge and of the opportunities for further investigation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Animal Nutrition: With Special Reference to the Nutrition of Farm Animals The past two decades have not only witnessed great activity in the study of the various problems of animal nutrition, but they are especially distinguished by the new point of view from which these problems have come to be regarded. Speaking broadly, it may be said that to an increasing knowledge of the chemistry of nutrition has been added a clear and fairly definite general conception of the vital activities as transformations of energy and of the food as essentially the vehicle for supplying that energy to the organism. This conception of the function of nutrition has been a fruitful one, and in particular has tended to introduce greater simplicity and unity into thought and discussion. Much exceedingly valuable work has been done under its guidance. While it points the way toward even more important results in the future. The following pages are not a treatise upon stock-feeding, but are an attempt to present in systematic form to students of that subject a summary of our present knowledge of some of the fundamental principles of ani mal nutrition, particularly from the standpoint of energy relations, with special reference to their bearings upon the nutrition of farm animals. Should the attempt at systematization appear in some instances premature or ill-advised, the writer can only plead that even a temporary or tentative system, if clearly recognized as such, may be preferable to unorganized knowledge. The scaffolding has its uses, even though it form no part of the completed building. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Foods: Or the Rational Feeding of Farm Animals As long ago as the year 1868, when the first edition of my 'Practical System of Manuring' appeared, I had pledged myself to bring out a companion volume, in which the nutrition of the body and the economy of Farm Food-stuffs should be treated on similar lines. But at the same time I expressed my intention of reserving the work until the principles underlying its teaching had been placed upon a clear and systematic basis. The science of Agricultural Dietetics was then beginning to assume definite proportions, and from the great energy with which it was being prosecuted it seemed more than probable that in a very short time it would attain a position which would enable it to offer practice a firmer and sounder support for the acceptance of the latest scientific principles. In my opinion that time has now come. Thanks mainly to the rich harvest of results which has rewarded the zealous labours of the Munich School of Physiology, the general laws of animal nutrition, as well as those of flesh- and fat-formation in the animal body, are now clear and patent; the necessary investigations which were so admirably executed by Voit and Pettenkofer have attained a present conclusion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feeding of Farm Animals The great interest which is being taken in the feeding of animals and the constant demands which are being made on this Station for information along these lines, has made it imperative for us to issue this Bulletin, setting forth the general principles underlying all animal feeding, together with such data and comments as have seemed most essential for the farmer and stockman. Notwithstanding that the majority of the experiment stations have issued bulletins covering the same Subject, the climatic conditions obtaining in California and the wide difference in our foods from those of the older States render it necessary that this Bulletin be issued to deal more intelligently with the environments peculiar to this State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Nutrition: Investigations at the Institute of Animal Nutrition of the Pennsylvania State College With the Co-Operation of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture; Collected Papers, 1912-1922 Feed is supplied to farm animals in order that they may either yield products useful to man as materials for human food and cloth ing or serve him by the performance of mechanical work. But as a factory must first be supplied with enough power to keep in motion the shafting, belting, and other machinery before any product can be turned out, so the animal mechanism must be provided with Sufficient feed to maintain the processes essential to life before any continued production is possible. The amount of feed required for this purpose is called the maintenance ration of the particular animal. It is the quantity of feed necessary simply to support the animal when doing no work and yielding no material product. If an animal receiving exactly a maintenance ration were subjected to a so-called balance experiment, there would be found an exact equality between income and outgo of ash, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and energy, showing that the body was neither gaining nor losing protein, fat, carbohydrates, or ash. The word maintenance is sometimes used popularly in another sense to signify the total amount of feed required, for example, by a horse in order to perform his daily work or by a calf in order to make a normal growth. It is important to grasp the idea that, in its technical sense, the maintenance requirement means the minimum required simply to sustain life. The feed of the horse or calf would, from this point of view, be regarded as consisting of two portions; one of these is the maintenance ration, which if fed by itself would just support the horse at rest or the calf without growth, and the other the productive portion of the ration by means of which work is done or growth made. To recur to the illustration of the factory, the maintenance ration keeps the empty machinery running, while the additional feed furnishes the power necessary to turn out the product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Feeding Farm Animals It has seemed desirable, partly in order to avoid duplication, to discuss the use Of each of the principal feeds for the differ ent species and classes Of live stock rather than to devote separate chapters to the feeding of the different classes of farm animals. For example, under the discussion of corn, its use is given in the rations of growing cattle, colts, pigs, and lambs fattening cattle, hogs, and sheep breeding cattle, horses, hogs, and sheep dairy cows and work horses. In addition to the discussion of the nutritive value of feeds and rations, the author has given particular attention to their fertilizing values, a phase which is Often neglected both by the student and the stockman. The author is deeply indebted to Professor H. S. Grindley Dr. H. H. Mitchell, Professor W. C. Coffey, Professor H. P. Rusk, Professor J. L. Edmonds, Mr. W'. J. Carmichael, Mr. C. I. Newlin, and Mr. R. S. Hulce Of the University of Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
