Animal Husbandry through the Years at the University of Nebraska

From the establishment of the Agricultural College in 1872 to the present day (1962). Foreword Introduction The Agricultural College The Crowning Years The Research Program Farmers Institutes Extension Activities Emergency Programs Extra Curricular Activities Personnel Publications This review is limited primarily to the Animal Husbandry Department. However, in an organization as closely knit as the College of Agriculture, it is impossible not to make occasional reference to other departments and activities. The narrative is confined largely to the organization at Lincoln, although some reference is made of work and workers at outlying stations. 52 page

Growth in Weight of Selected Organs, Tissues and Systems in the Pig

As a result of investigations at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in 1929, 1930 and 1931 to determine the effect of weight and degree of fatness of the pork carcass upon the quality and palatability of the meat, 40 pigs were slaughtered, five each at the approximate live weights of 70, 80, 90, 100, 115, 135, 160, and 180 kg. This corresponds to carcass weights ranging from 50 to 150 kg. The results of the meat investigations and feedlot data were reported elsewhere (Loeffel et al.,1943). This study reports data relative to the weight of selected tissues and organs, as determined by dissection at slaughtering time

Studies of Rickets in Swine

During the years 1925 to 1929 inclusive, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station carried on a series of four experiments to study the importance of the antirachitic factors in the nutrition of swine. Vitamin D as obtained from cod-liver oil and the radiant-energy factor of sunlight were the sources of the antirachitic factors that received primary consideration. Emphasis was placed upon the study of the symptoms and lesions produced in pigs fed a rickets-producing ration
