Note on the Relativistic Thermodynamics of Moving Bodies

We employ a novel thermodynamical argument to show that, at the macroscopic level,there is no intrinsic law of temperature transformation under Lorentz boosts. This result extends the corresponding microstatistical one of earlier works to the purely macroscopic regime and signifies that the concept of temperature as an objective entity is restricted to the description of bodies in their rest frames. The argument on which this result is based is centred on the thermal transactions between a body that moves with uniform velocity relative to a certain inertial frame and a thermometer, designed to measure its temperature, that is held at rest in that frame.Comment: To be published in J.

Growth Stimulants (Implants) (1993)

Implants increase the weaning weight of suckling calves and increase the rate and efficiency of gain of cattle fed growing and finishing rations. This guide provides information about implanted growth stimulants for cattle.Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

High-moisture grain for beef cattle (1993)

Some Missouri farmers are harvesting and storing high-moisture corn or milo for cattle rations. This practice has a number of agronomic advantages that are appealing to farmer-feeders who produce their own grain. Also, high-moisture processing improves the feed value of the grain, especially milo.Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

Wheat for beef cattle rations (1993)

"10/1993."Wheat often is a cheaper source of nutrients for beef rations than corn or other grain

Grain and protein supplements for beef cattle on pasture (1993)

Feeding grain to cattle on pasture can be a profitable way to grow and finish cattle on many Missouri farms

Vitamins for beef cattle (1993)

Vitamin needs of beef cattle can be confined largely to A, D and E. This is because bacteria in the rumen of cattle are considered to have the ability to synthesize vitamin K and the B vitamins in sufficient quantities to meet the animal's requirement.Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

Salt to limit intake of protein and grain supplements (1993)

"10/1993."Cattle grazing stalk fields and winter range or young cattle that are being fed grain on summer pastures eat too much protein supplements and grain if they are fed these items free choice. Mixing salt with the concentrates and protein supplements has been a reliable way to regulate the intake of these feeds

Using net energy to formulate beef cattle rations (1988)

Feed energy measures are used to estimate the energy required for a specific animal at various performance levels and to evaluate feeds to supply this energy. The most frequently used measures of feed energy are total digestible nutrients (TON) ; digestible energy (DE) ; metabolizable energy (ME) ; and net energy (NE).Revised 2/88/10M

Wheat silage for beef cattle (1993)

Some Missouri cattle feeders are cutting wheat for silage then planting the field with corn silage or grain sorghum to produce a large tonnage of feed per acre. When wheat is cut early for silage instead of grain, there is more time for growing the second crop. Cattle feeders have produced 70 to 120 bushels of grain sorghum per acre after harvesting 7 to 9 tons of wheat silage per acre.Reviewed October 1993 -- Extension website

Urea supplements for beef cattle (1983)

Urea supplies part of the protein equivalent in many of the commercial supplements formulated for beef cattle today. When soybean meal and other plant proteins are high in price, more urea is used to replace plant protein in the ration of beef cattle and sheep.Reviewed and reprinted 8/83/8
