Fifteen cows in mid-lactation were assigned to  treatments with ACTH1-24 (0.05 mg Synacthen},

	abstract = {Romney crossbred lambs (n=711) sired by selected Southdown high fat   (SD+), low fat (SD-) and Texel rams were grown from weaning to 14   months of age under high(H), medium (M) or low (L) nutrition. A random   half of H and L groups were run with the L and H groups respectively from 8   months onwards. Samples of lambs were slaughtered at 3, 5, 8, 11 and 14   months of age. Whereas there were significant carcass weight differences   between nutrition and were almost always fatter than the SD- and Texel   lambs. All genotypes showed markedly reduced levels of fat development   during the post-weaning and winter periods, with highest levels in spring.   Eye muscle width was more nutritionally responsive than eye muscle depth   and, in relation to carcass weight changes, was greatest in winter.   },
