چکیده

It has also been observed that when low-medium lean growth genotypes are raised under ideal conditions, lean growth rate is only marginally increased from 100 to 260 pounds. Low-medium lean growth genotypes respond to more ideal conditions by consuming feed in excess of that needed for maximum lean growth, and subsequently become fatter. Barrows of a number of low to average lean growth genotypes have .1 to .3 inch greater backfat depths when fed under more ideal conditions.
