Abstract

Investigations were made of the effects of the fi-agonist cimaterol on the growth and hormone status of normal and double-muscled Belgian White-blue bulls. Results indicated that repartitioning effects of this agonist may in part be mediated indirectly through an alteration in the levels of metabolic hormones and that the growth promoting effect is transient.
