Thyroactive Compounds for Growing Pigs

Thyroactive compounds are compounds that contain thyroxine activity. Thyroxine is one of the natural hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. An overactive gland speeds up metabolism, increases the requirements for nutrients and increases growth rate in some species. These trials were conducted to determine if some of the thyroactive compounds could be fed at levels that would stimulate growth rate without causing any harmful effects
