Abstract
There are various ways of measuring growth, as actual weight, percentage increment, or weight per day gained. Which method is used will depend on the purpose for which it is required. For agricultural purposes the third method is generally adopted, as it forms a basis for daily food requirements and, conversely, also enables the rate of growth to be controlled exactly by regulation of the food intake. The live-weight growth curve of the animal as a whole is made up of the sum of the different parts and tissues of the body, each of these growing at different rates.
