| Title: | Initial Report...Compensatory Growth In Growing - Finishing Swine |
| Author: | Harrold, R.L.; Johnson, J. N. |
| Description: | Compensatory growth can be defined as an increased growth rate in one time-period as a result of a slight growth restriction in an earlier time-period. This phenomenon has been recognized in farm animals for generations, yet purposeful induction of the compensatory growth phenomenon for economic purposes is a recent development. The research discussed in this report was conducted in response to the significant results obtained with turkeys by R. L. Johnson. |
