accelerated animal growth. Following this discovery, American Cyanamid published research establishing the practice of using antibiotic growth promoters...

heritable to some degree, and can thus be selected for by animal breeding. In cattle, certain growth features are controlled by recessive genes which have...

fungi) are held in place by cell walls, and so develop by progressive growth. Animal cells uniquely possess the cell junctions called tight junctions, gap...

The two major types of growth media are those used for cell culture, which use specific cell types derived from plants or animals, and those used for microbiological...

Tissue growth is the process by which a tissue increases its size. In animals, tissue growth occurs during embryonic development, post-natal growth, and...

and extant animal growth rates as proxies are used to make predictions. Fossilized bones exhibit growth rings that appear as a result of growth or seasonal...

nutrient deprivation. The growth may be with respect to weight or length (or height in humans). For example, the body weights of animals who experience nutritional...

Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat, fibre, milk, or other products. It includes day-to-day care...

regeneration in humans and other animals. It is thus important in human development. GH also stimulates production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and increases...

animals with shorter lifespans and faster growth rates benefit more from zoos than animals with higher longevities and slow growth rates. Animals portal...

Revolution, a major factor of productivity growth was the substitution of inanimate power for human and animal labor. Also there was a great increase in...

series of animal feeding experiments that diets consisting of pure proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and water fail to support animal growth. This...

Old-growth forests are often biologically diverse, and home to many rare species, threatened species, and endangered species of plants and animals, such...

pathways associated with animal growth factors. Microbial clusters in the rumen possess genes associated with many animal growth-related factors. Protein...

cell growth. Nutrient availability influences production of growth factors of the Insulin/IGF-1 family, which circulate as hormones in animals to activate...

Animal feed is food given to domestic animals, especially livestock, in the course of animal husbandry. There are two basic types: fodder and forage. Used...

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), or fetal growth restriction, is the poor growth of a fetus while in the womb during pregnancy. IUGR is defined...

In biology and botany, indeterminate growth is growth that is not terminated in contrast to determinate growth that stops once a genetically predetermined...
