METHOD OF RAISING MEAT PRODUCING ANIMALS TO INCREASE LEAN TISSUE DEVELOPMENT

摘要

the invention relates to a process for the production of livestock meat producers to increase lean tissue development and in order to improve the quality of the meat.the acid beta hydroxy beta mu00e9thylbutyrique or edible salt of this acid (hmb) is administered to the animal an effective amount for a period of time sufficient to produce a significant increase in lean tissue weight. compositions of feed for the realization of this method are also described.the process and compositions are particularly suited for feed, apply to ruminants, including cattle and sheep, since hmb acid is not subject to a significant loss in the rumen. this method can also be applied to other domestic animals, such as chickens and turkeys.
