Rate of body weight gain of both the young chick and the young rat was markedly inhibited following ingestion of amounts of thyroxine which were greatly in excess of physiological requirements. The rate of body weight gain of the young rat was also markedly inhibited in alloxan diabetes. The administration of insulin partly or largely prevented the observed effect on body weight in both conditions. The administration of thyroxine caused a reduction of rat skeletal muscle mass which was partially prevented when insulin was given concurrently with thyroxine.Reduced body weight gain and muscle mass in the rat were accompanied by marked increases in the muscle DNA and nuclei concentration. Nuclear diameter and the amount of DNA per nucleus remained unchanged. RNA concentration of the muscle was not reduced. The beneficial effect of insulin administration on body weight and muscle mass was accompanied by a preventive effect against changes in muscle DNA and nuclei concentration. However, since the DNA content of muscle bundles remained relatively unchanged and since muscle bundle weights changed proportionately with body weight it would appear that DNA content does not reflect change in muscle mass.The effectiveness of insulin in the thyroxine-treated animal appears to be due to an improved utilization of energy. A hypoglycemic action of thyroxine implies an antagonism between the two hormones in their mechanism of action. The relationship between the two hormones is not direct since the administration of insulin does not affect the increased plasma protein-bound iodine levels resulting from thyroxine treatment.

AbstractThe effect of energy supply on physical composition of body weight gain between 45 and 100 kg was studied in Large White castrated males (cLW), crossbred Pietrain × Large White castrated males (cPPX) and boars (bPPX). The pigs were either given food ad libitum and kept in individual pens in experiment 1, or allocated to four energy levels (0·70, 0·80, 0·90, and 1·00 ad libitum) and kept in metabolism cages in experiment 2. Daily protein supplies were calculated to be the same at the four energy levels within each type of pig and non-limiting for growth. Five additional animals for each type of pig were slaughtered at 45 kg. Daily tissue gain was measured according to the comparative slaughter technique. The daily lean gain increased with metabolizable energy (ME) intake according to a linear-plateau relationship whereas the daily fat gain increased linearly. The type of pig significantly affected the slope of the relationship between lean gain and ME intake (from 15 to 22 g per extra MJ ME) but not the slope of the relationship between fat gain and ME intake (10 g per extra MJ ME on average). Increased energy intake was associated with increased fatness of body-weight gain, which was higher in cLW and cPP× than in bPP×.

SUMMARYGrazing and stall-feeding experiments were conducted to examine the effect of giving different amounts of cereal-protein concentrate with grass on the live-weight gain of cattle initially 6 months of age. The effect of level of concentrate on grass intake was also studied in the indoor trial. Experiment 1 took place at pasture, with two stocking rates (high and low) and three levels of supplementation at each stocking rate. The response to supplementation, and rate of live-weight gain by the unsupplemented groups was similar at both stocking rates for a 101-day period from late April to mid-August. The results are discussed in relation to other pasture supplementation experiments, and to those obtained in the indoor experiment. Experiment 2 (stall-feeding) consisted of five levels of concentrate feeding from zero to 100% of the diet. There was little increase in total intake as the proportion of concentrate in the diet increased, and the relationship between grass intake and concentrate intake was rectilinear.Gut fill estimates are presented for each level of concentrate feeding, and results for empty body-weight gain are discussed in relation to live-weight gains. There was a linear increase in weight gain with increasing proportion of concentrate in the diet. Empty body-weight gain is recommended as a less biased assessment of the response of cattle to concentrates given with pasture or forages.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the quantitative characteristics, the determinant of body size and shape, and the correlation of body measurements and the bodyweight of Bali and Simbal cattle in Renah Pamenang, Merangin District. The survey method was used along with purposive sampling, the samples were Bali and Simbal cattle aged I1 (Incicivus 1) and not in pregnant condition, with 60 cattle consisting of 30 males and 30 females. Observed data included: body weight, body weight gain, body length, shoulder height, chest circumference, chest weight, chest width, hip height, and canon circumference were analyzed using the t-test method. The principal component analysis was used to determine the determinant of size and shape of Bali and Simbal cattle followed by the regression and correlation analysis to determine the relationship and closeness of the relationship between body measurements with body weight. The result showed that the body weight, body weight gain, and body size of Bali cattle were significantly different (P <0.05) from Simbal. The body weight, body weight gain, and body size of Bali cattle were lower than Simbal cattle. The main characteristic of size in Bali and Simbal cattle was the Chest Circumference. The dominant characteristic of shape in Bali and Simbal cattle was shoulder height. The highest correlation between body measurements and body weight in Bali and Simbal cattle was the chest circumference. Keywords: Quantitative Characteristics; Bali Cattle; Simbal Cattle.   Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik kuantitatif, penciri ukuran dan bentuk tubuh, serta korelasi ukuran-ukuran tubuh dengan bobot badan sapi Bali dan Simbal di Kecamatan Renah Pamenang Kabupaten Merangin.

Low erythrocyte activities of the selenium-containing enzyme glutathione peroxidase were found in Merino lambs in an area of the Strathbogie Ranges in central Victoria where selenium-responsive conditions have previously been reported. Body weight gain trials conducted over 10 properties in the above area demonstrated that the severity of selenium-responsive unthriftiness was significantly correlated with the erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity (r = – 0.95, P <: 0.001). Positive body weight responses to selenium treatment were only observed in lambs with erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activities less than 30 U/g Hb prior to selenium treatment. These findings indicate that measurement of erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity provides a convenient index of the selenium status in sheep. ________________ *Part I, Aust. J. Agric.

RELATIONSHIP OF WEIGHT BIRTH PIGLET WITH ADDITION OF AGENCY WEIGHT, WEANING WEIGHT, MORTALITY, AND LITTER SIZE WEANING IN LIVESTOCK PT. KARYA PROSPEK SATWA. This study aims to determine how much the relationship of birth weight with weight gain, weaning weight, mortality, and litter size of weaning in animal husbandry companies owned by Animal Prospects. The material used is 7 pregnant sows from Yorkshire and Landrace, with an average body weight of 140 kg which will be taken by 54 children randomly. Furthermore, this research data obtained from weighing piglets during parturition, weighing weekly during weaning and weighing when weaned and taking data on live and dead piglets during the study. The data is then processed by procentage descriptive method and evaluated by simple correlation (r) and determination (R) tests. The variables measured in the study were body weight gain, weaning weight, mortality, and weaning litter size. Birth weight has a very close relationship with weight gain and weaning weight, but litter size weaning has a very weak relation. While mortality is not related. Key words: Piglets, Birth weight, Weight gain, Weaning weight, Mortality, Litter size weaning.

This study aims to determine the relationship between egg morphology and egg weight and DOC weight with body weight of Kampung F1 chickens. The research material was 174 free-range chickens from hatching 315 eggs. The method used: experimental method. Data collected: egg size, egg weight, body weight, body weight gain, and body size. Data on egg size, egg weight, body weight, body weight gain and body size were analyzed using a t-test. The relationship between variables was analyzed regression and correlation analysis. Characteristics of body size and shape were analyzed principal component analysis. The results showed that egg size, egg weight, body weight, body weight gain and body size of male Kampung chickens were different (P <0.05) higher than females. Egg size affects egg weight, and DOC weight affects body weight at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age. Egg size was positively correlated with male and female egg weights. DOC weight was positively correlated with body weight of Kampung chickens aged 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The closest correlation between egg size and egg weight was egg circumference (0.913), and DOC weight with body weight was weight at 4 weeks of age (0.936). In conclusion, the relationship between egg size and egg weight,  DOC weight and body weight were linear and  had appositive values.
