This review describes our studies on compensatory growth, specifically the growth that occurs after dietary lysine deficiency is changed to sufficiency. We found that dietary lysine sufficiency induced compensatory growth in pigs after dietary lysine deficiency. We also showed that compensatory growth of pigs induced by dietary lysine sufficiency was partly attributed to greater N retention. In a rat model, both suppression of proteolysis and increased protein synthesis in skeletal muscle contributed to their compensatory growth with lysine sufficiency. Finally, our in vitro studies with cultured skeletal muscle cells revealed that the compensatory growth in these cells was induced by increased lysine levels in combination with the modulation of insulin-like growth factor-I and glucocorticoid levels. This suggested that compensatory growth in pigs and rats with lysine sufficiency was due to both increased serum lysine levels and changes in the levels of hormones involved in protein synthesis and degradation.

“…Compensatory growth is growth which proceeds at enhanced rates dur ing realimentation following a period of restricted nutrition or malnutrition, with eventual normal body size and conformation being achieved (Bohman, 1955). Compensatory growth has long been observed in beef steers (Waters, 1908), in human (Stearns and Moore, 1931), in pigs (McMeekan, 1940), in lambs (Palsson and Verges, 1952) and in poultry (Wilson, 1952).…”

“…They stated that the growth curve of rats after the period of suppression were comparable with growing rat of the same size and sex. The term compensatory growth was introduced by Bohman (1955) to describe the higher growth when cattle grazed summer pasture after wintering on low quality hay. Tanner (1963) demonstrated examples where weight, length and skeletal maturation retarded in humans due to nutritional or illness disorders were overcome after correction of each restriction factor.…”

“…Predominantly compensatory growth has been used to describe changes in LW (Fox, 1970;Hornick et al, 2000;Keogh et al, 2015) whereas catch-up growth has often been used to describe the changes related to bone growth (Boersma and Wit, 1997;Gafni et al, 2001). The original papers, which first utilized these terms, were both describing the faster growth rate of previously growth impaired individuals when compared to aged matched unrestricted counterparts (Bohman, 1955;Tanner, 1963). Tanner (1963) provides the first hypothesis to explain the process whereby a previously growth retarded animal can achieve the same mature size as an unrestricted counterpart; he also named the intersection of two different growth path trajectories as catch-up.…”

Variation in nutrition leads to periods of restricted and accelerated changes in the liveweight of cattle, but less is known about the effect of level of nutrition and/or specific nutrients on skeletal growth. The endochondral ossification process at the epiphyseal growth plate drives longitudinal bone growth and by inference sets growth in skeletal muscle via a passive stretch mechanism. The physiological and morphological mechanism behind animal growth that drives adaptation of mammals during the transition from a low to high plane of nutrition remains a major biological question. Two experiments examined the effect of protein and energy on skeletal growth the perspective of the dimensional changes, trabecular bone remodelling (histology and bone biomarkers) and hormone. Data was then collated from these and other experiments conducted within this laboratory to develop a growth curve in liveweight-for-hip height of well-fed cattle and to identify deviations from this "normal" growth relationship.In the first experiment (Chapter 4), the effects of low and high crude protein (CP) content diets during metabolizable energy (ME) restriction on subsequent re-alimentation in Bos indicus and Bos taurus cattle were evaluated. Three treatment diets were applied; a control diet (High CP-High ME) and two restricted pair-fed ME intake diets differing in CP content (Low CP-Low ME and High CP-Low ME) for 93 days followed by re-alimentation of all treatment groups offered ad libitum access to the High CP-High ME diet for 103 days. In the second experiment (Chapter 5), a 2 x 5 factorial design was used to determine the effect of supplementation (0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 g protein meal/kg LW.day) of a low CP hay during the first dry season (169 days) and weaning weight [Early (118 kg) vs. Normal (183 kg)] on longterm (~2 years) growth in liveweight and the skeleton and reproduction of replacement heifers in northern Australia. After the first dry season all treatment groups were subjected to the same level of nutrition by grazing the same pasture together.Across both experiments, higher plane of nutrition increased liveweight gain and skeletal elongation growth. Increases in ME and CP intake in cattle were positively associated with the height of proliferative and hypertrophic zones as well as with the diameter of terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes measured in growth plate biopsies of the tuber coxae. In addition, the diameter of terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes showed significant correlation with the broader measure of hip height gain in both experiments. Plasma bone-specific alkaline iii phosphatase and pyridinoline appeared to be effective bone biomarkers of formation and resorption in growing cattle respectively. Low ME intake severely reduced the plasma insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 concentration in cattle, independent of CP intake. Cattle with the higher CP intake during ME restriction had higher concentration of triiodothyronine in the plasma and this was correlated with larger terminal hypertrophic chondroc...
