A Study of the Rate and Economy of Gains of Fattening Steers With Special Reference to the Influence of the Amount and the Character of Feed Consumed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149554920)

"A Study of the Rate and Economy of Gains of Fattening Steers" presents a detailed investigation into the optimal feeding strategies for fattening steers. Originally published in 1917, this work by Herbert Windsor Mumford provides insights into the influence of both the quantity and quality of feed on the growth rate and overall economy of raising cattle. The study offers a rigorous analysis of various feed compositions and their effects on the weight gain of steers, making it a valuable resource for agricultural economists, animal scientists, and livestock managers. Though written over a century ago, the core principles discussed remain relevant to understanding the complexities of animal nutrition and efficient farming practices. This historic study serves as a foundational text for those interested in the scientific basis of animal husbandry and the economic considerations involved in cattle farming.
