<p>This invention relates to a method for effecting a prolonged reduction in the measurable fat content of an animal or fowl carcase. The critical step of the method involves the administration of a growth promotant (such as bovine somatotropin) to the animal or fowl prior to normal physiological puberty of the animal or fowl and usually during the first six month period following birth of the animal or fowl. The method provides carcases which have a reduced fat content but which have not been treated with a hormonal growth promotant immediately prior to slaughter.</p> |
