Abstract excerpt

The effects of natural variation in the number of copies of the growth hormone (GH) gene on growth parameters, plasma GH profiles, and the response to GHRH challenge were compared in Coopworth ram lambs from selection lines differing in body composition and GH levels. Different genotypes at the GH locus carried two, three, or four copies of the GH gene and GH secretion was studied under ad libitum feeding...
