Growth performance and plasma insulin-like growth factor I concentrations in sheep selected for high weaning weight.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 1991

Medrano J F, Bradford G E

Abstract excerpt

A study was undertaken to determine the effect of selection for high weaning weight on concentrations of plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in sheep and to evaluate the usefulness of measuring IGF-I as an aid in identification of genotypes with a higher growth potential. Lambs from two lines selected for high 120-d weight (HW and DH) and an unselected control (C) were weighed and blood samples collected...
