Manipulation of Endogenous Growth Hormone in Growing or Lactating Dairy Cattle: Effects on Production
Abstract
dc:descriptionGrowth hormone (GH) is one of the major hormones associated with animal production. Exogenous administration of GH increases milk production and growth of lactating and growing ruminants. Two nutritional components (sodium bicarbonate and arginine) and immunization against somatostatin were investigated as potential means of altering endogenous GH concentrations and animal production.
