We evaluated the effects of recombinant porcine somatotropin (pST) and the beta-adrenergic agonist salbutamol on plasam endocrine and metabolite profiles and muscle chemistry in three genotypes of growing barrows (n = 96, 139 d old). Treatments were in a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial arrangement, and main effects were pST (0 or 4 mg/d) and salbutamol (0 or 2.75 ppm); the three genotypes including purebred Meishan (M), 1/4...
