Overfeeding to promote rapid growth prematurely stops some - TopicsExpress



          

Overfeeding to promote rapid growth prematurely stops some skeletal development. During normal growth and development bones continue to grow and mature even after it appears that body size no longer increases. Overfeeding puppies retards bone development so that the coxafemerol acetabulum stops growing several months earlier than in puppies on a calorie-restricted diet. Restricted food intake should reduce other developmental bone and joint problems in rapidly growing dogs. Unfortunately, little can be done to help these problems after they appear, making prevention important. Very Informative article. I highly recommend! :)
