Abstract
Physiol. studies were undertaken to determine why hereditarily conditioned dwarf beef cattle fail to grow. Results were obtained which indicate the pituitary glands are deficient in thyrotropic hormone. Additional data indicate that the growth hormone in the dwarf pituitary as well as gonad-stimulating hormone are present.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
