Abstract
- The wool growth responses to changes in feed intake are related to the changes produced in body weight. The relation is expressed by the equation W = Ei-kG, where W = wool growth rate, i = feed intake rate, G = rate of body weight change, and E and k are constants. The ratio of E to k in sheep of different productive efficiency was found to be constant.
