Metabolic modifiers are compounds that alter metabolism for improvement in efficiency of a productive process like growth rate, milk yield, and body composition or in nutrient utilization. Metabolic modifiers can have more than one function (pleiotropy), and different metabolic modifiers may cause the same biologic effect. Some metabolic modifiers are somatotropin, bovine placental lactogen and conjugated linoleic acid.
Key words: Metabolic Modifiers, Growth Rate, Milk Yield, Somatotropin, Bovine Placental Lactogen And Conjugated Linoleic Acid.
