✦ Synopsis

Two organic compounds, diethylstilboestrol a synthetic oestrogen substitute, and cyproheptadine which acts as an appetite stimulant in some mammals, were added separately at 3 different concentrations to diets fed to plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), and their effect on growth examined. Over a l0 week period, low orally-administered diethylstilboestrol (600 ~g/kg moist diet) gave rise to increased weight gain, food consumption and food conversion. Higher dietary concentrations of diethylstilboestrol (up to 2400 txg/kg diet) were without effect on these parameters. Cyproheptadine did not stimulate appetite, weight gain or food conversion at any of the levels tested.

Two methods were tested for suppressing the depressive effect of N-free diets on the digestive secretions in pigs: the blood perfusion of amino acids (AA) or the peptide alimentation method. In the latter, enzymically hydrolysed casein (EHC), composed of oligopeptides and free AA, was used as the so
