regulating the use of
nutrients in animals.
“The mechanisms by
which growth hormone
controls nutrients in
animals are largely
unknown, but it gives
increases in efficiency
in a manner identical to
those achieved by
animal breeding and
selection programs,”
Bauman said.
“Progress in applying
these results is
critically dependent on
more complete un
derstanding of how
nutrients are controlled
in animals.”
