New compound for body weight regulation with applications in animal breeding - Banco de Patentes

CSIC has developed a modulating agent for regulating body weight. Nowadays, it is necessary to develop new alternatives to increase the profitability of animal breeding and increase meat production, key factors to meet the food needs of the world population. Since weight and body fat are two important factors in reproductive maturity in animals, it is necessary to find alternatives to regulate body weight to delay entry into puberty and avoid the cessation of the growth or fattening stage. In this way we can obtain a higher profitability in the herds and we can control more efficiently the growth of the animals.
