Overview

Excerpt from Thesis: Presented to the University Faculty of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy This paper contains a summary of investigations concerning the relation of food to milk-fat and the record of considerable original experimentation to determine the influence of food and of certain conditions of the cow upon the secretion of milk. That portion of the thesis which treats of the influence of food was prepared primarily for publication as Bulletin No. 173 of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. The experimental data obtained by Messrs. Johnson and Lauman from their experiments of 1896 and 1897 respectively were entirely worked over by the writer for publication in the above named bulletin, and is, therefore, considered to justly have a place in a paper of this kind. The report of the investigations concerning the relation of the temperature of the cow to the secretion of milk is oflered as a line of study which is new in the field of animal production. The other chapters and the general sum mary contain some of the conclusions that are believed to be warranted by the knowledge concerning milk secretion which has been secured up to the present time by historical record and experimental research. Acknowledgment is due Professor Henry H. Wing for his helpful suggestions during the progress of these investigations.
