Conteúdo: | When appropriately scaled for mature size there were no sex or breed differences on growth rate. At the same estimated degree of maturity, there were no differences between the genotypes in fatness. An increased feed bulkiness reduced energy intake and led to leaner carcasses. The bulkier food (BULK) became less limiting to growth relative to the non-limiting feed (HIGH) as the lambs grew. This is as expected as relative nutrient demands decrease in animals as they approach their mature live weight and they ate more.
