Some Studies on the Effect of Pyrimidine Derivatives on Growth Rate and Puberty during the Growth of Animals

Abstract

In order to reduce protein deficiency in nutrition or to terminate it, thorough and significant research is being carried out throughout the world. One of the most obvious ways to achieve this objective is the use of additives to nutrients and feed which improve the utilization of the nutrients. In animal husbandry, these additives result in higher body-weight. Pyrimidine derivatives (quinazolinones) have been subjected to a detailed investigation from the aspect of their body weight increasing effect. These compounds are rather widespread in nucleic acids of DNA and RNA and some vitamins.
