Title:
The effect of porcine somatotropin on nitrogen utilization and nitrogen losses in growing pigs
Publication Date: January 1, 1993
Reference: Nitrogen Flow in Pig Production and Environmental Consequences. Edited by M.W.A Verstegen, L.A. den Hartog, G.J.M. van Kempen and J.H.M. Metz. P.189-194
Country: France
Summary:
The use of somatotropin is not allowed presently in Canada. However the results on N retention obtained with the use of this hormone are very interesting and could lead to better overall performances and reduction of the N excreted. The cost involved with the use of this hormone is not given.
