%X The effects of daily administration of 10 mg of highly purified ovine growth hormone (GH) for a period of 4 weeks on wool growth have been measured in 12 Merino ewes fed either a calculated maintenance energy intake or 1·6 times this amount (six on each ration). Concentrations of hormones, glucose, urea, a-amino N and amino acids in the blood were monitored and faeces and urine collected for measurement of nitrogen balance.
