“…In this sub-period the F2 diet seemed able to meet their requirements; moreover, birds at older age were less susceptible to the antinutritional factors and showed a kind of compensatory growth. Mosier (1986) hypothesized that birds have a specific set point for body weight at a certain age, and when they are behind their scheduled growth curve, they try to reach this weight in a shorter time (Wilson and Osbourn, 1960;Mosier, 1986). Sterling et al (2002) found that young chicks, beside the high nutritional requirements of protein and essential amino acids, are more sensitive to the presence of antinutritional substances in feed.…”

This paper assesses the effect of faba bean (Vicia Faba minor), in partial substitution of soybean, on productive performance, carcass and meat traits of slow-growing chickens readed under the organic method. Faba bean was used in both starter (1-21 d) and growing/finisher diets (22-120 d). One thousand birds were fed two different diets containing respectively, soybean or faba bean as the main protein source for the entire rearing period. The birds of each group were slaughtered at 120 d of age. The productive performance of group F was the worst, with a higher mortality rate, indicating that faba bean diets are not able to cover the nutritional requirements of birds mainly in the first rearing period. The main carcass and meat qualitative traits, were not affected by the treatment, whereas minor modification regards saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

“…The mechanism(s) that cause growth spurts are uncertain; however, compensatory growth has been detected in green (Bjorndal et al 2000) and loggerhead Caretta caretta sea turtles (Bjorndal et al 2003). Strictly speaking, compensatory growth is defined as a period of accelerated growth following an episode of reduced growth rates, potentially due to lack of adequate forage (Wilson & Osbourn 1960, Jobling 1994. Balazs & Cha loup ka (2004a) found growth spurts in immature Hawaiian green sea turtles, and Casale et al (2011) also observed periods of fast growth following slow growth in loggerheads.…”

Abstract. The effects of prior growth on subsequent growth and body composition of cattle potentially affect the profitability of growing cattle to meet specifications based on weight and fatness. The effects of different growth rates and patterns of growth between weaning (about 230 kg) and entry to finishing (average 400 kg) on growth rate, carcass characteristics and intramuscular fat content of steers finished on pasture and in a feedlot on a predominantly grain ration to 2 liveweights (520 kg, Korean and >600 kg, Japanese) are reported here. Over a period of 4 years (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997), 1095 Bos taurus steers of 4 breeds (Angus, Hereford, Murray Grey and Shorthorn), were allocated to 1 of 3 grow-out pathways from weaning until entry into finishing. The pathways were based on introduced pasture (P1), with different animal growth rates induced by strategic supplementation with a pelleted concentrate feed (P2), or a forage crop (P3) Dicker et al. 2001).In general, the mean growth rate of steers from the different growth pathways during finishing was inversely related to mean growth rate during grow-out. However, where the difference in liveweight at the end of grow-out was greater than 15 kg, increased growth rate during finishing was insufficient to permit complete catch up of liveweight by the end of finishing. There was no further compensation beyond 520 kg liveweight. Steers with better nutrition during grow-out tended to have more intramuscular fat at Japanese market weights, but lower retail meat yield. Steers finished on pasture had less fat thickness and intramuscular fat content than those finished on the grain based ration. Compared with P3 steers, there was a tendency for steers from pathways P1 and P2 to have lower intramuscular fat content in their M. longissimus at Japanesese market weights.
