Abstract
SUMMARY The growth patterns of impetus groups of muscles were mostly not significantly affected by rate of growth of the musculature. One small group – the low/average impetus muscles – had a significantly lower ‘b’ value in the calves fed at a high plane. It appears that under differences of feeding encountered commercially, no changes of practical importance in the relative growth of muscles are likely to be produced which are attributable to rate of growth of the musculature.Keywords
