GROWTH CURVES
Represents an increase in size relative to a period of time (figure 9.1)
Often impacted on compositional levels of varying tissues ie. Muscle, fat, bone, CT
Dependent on plane of nutrition and stage of development
Four phases of growth (figure 9.5)

AGE and MATURITY
Chronological versus physiological Maturity is the point in time when an
animal reaches its highest level of complexity or development
Absolute growth rate: utilizes unitsADG, WDA, Birth, Weaning, etc. (Figure 9.9)Growth rates of various tissues (figure 9.11)

Changes in Body Measurements
Quantifiable Carcass length in pork – value
Standard reference points of measurement LEA/REA (LD muscle)- cross section FT (SubQ) – where is the best place to
measure????? Body weight measures (table 9.2)
![Page 5: WHOLE BODY ANIMAL GROWTH ANSC 590 ANIMAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082820/56649ccb5503460f949946b0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Body Measures
Empty body wt.Withhold feed and water for 24 hours prior to
slaughter to secure shrunken weightsResearch methods: withhold feed for 12-24
hrs. prior to weighing if conducting research Pasture gain test
Conduct a pre and post weight (shrunk wt. if less than 90 day trial)

Dressing percent
Removal of everything but the carcass Factors that affect DP: fill, muscle, fat,
hide, etc. Assessment of value in the animal industry

Changes in carcass components
Figures (9.13,14,15) Bone- increases at a decreasing rate Muscle is the fastest growing during early life
and post weaning, yet decreases with time Fat is the fastest growing at physiological
maturity A decrease in bone and muscle is due to the
extreme increase in fat percentage

Changes in chemical composition
Protein, fat, and water Muscle ranges from 68-85% Moisture to protein ratio = 4:1 Decreases with age Table 9.4
Myoglobin increases with age Water content of CT and adipose tissue also
decrease with age Water also decreases in bone with age because of
inorganic salts deposited in modified CT to increase bone strength

Changes in chemical composition
CT increases with age Accretion of collagen and elastin fibers must be
increased to form the matrix of fasciluli to form the CT to hold the muscle bundles
Muscle fibers increase in size, yet CT decreases in percent thus increases in size The relative amount of CT in bone and fat is also
affected by the deposition of inorganic salts and lipids

Changes in chemical composition
Nucleoproteins Increases with age yet decreases in %
Fat More variable yet increases or accumulates in various
depots with age including the depots associated with muscle
Minerals Increases with age as a general rule, yet is not true
for some ie. sodium decreases with muscle growth Ca, P, and K all increase with growth and with age

Genetics on carcass composition
Mutation or intensive selection Influence of environment Phenotype versus genotype Heritability estimates Table 9.8

Species affect on carcass composition Variation between species Table 9.9 Deposition of tissues, esp. fat Order of fat deposition between species Proportion of composition compared
anatomically Value differences among composition
parts of each species

Muscle distribution
Table 9.12 & 13 Comparison of muscle wt. distribution between
species Ruminant versus non-ruminant and their
relationship to prehension properties Domestic versus non-domesticated species Meat versus milk type selection Figure 9.26 muscle to bone ratios

Fat distribution
Table 9.14 and Figure 9.19 Huge differences between ruminant and non-
ruminants At the beginning, carcass fat is fairly even in
distribution However, a growth increases and maturity
develops fat begins to accumulate varying percentages at different anatomical locations Figure 9.20 & 27

Sex
Definitions Figure 9.28, 29 Table 9.25, 26 Except for pigs, females mature earliest Intact males have a greater proportion of muscles in the
forequarter while heifers in the proximal pelvic limb Castrate males are intermediate Heifers at the same physiological slaughter age and
maturity will be fatter lower yielding
