[The content of DNA, RNA and protein and the fresh weight:DNA, protein:DNA and RNA:DNA ratios in tissue of male calves, bulls, short-scrotum bulls and oxen during the growth period].
In male calves, in bulls, in short scrotum bulls and in oxen of different age the content of DNA, RNA and protein in various tissues (cerebrum, cerebellum, spinal cord, ventricles, lung, liver, cortex of the kidney, spleen, testicles, M. semimembranosus) was analysed. The fresh weight: DNA-, the protein: DNA- and the RNA: DNA-ratios were calculated. In the age of 78 weeks the short scrotum bulls had a body weight of 577 +/- 44, the bulls of 550 +/- 21 and the oxen of 462 +/- 41 kg. The testicles of the short scrotum bulls were smaller than that of the bulls. The differences in the content of DNA, RNA and protein per g tissue between male calves, bulls, short scrotum bulls and oxen of the same age were in part significant. The total content of DNA, of RNA and of protein for the 78 weeks old as well as the number of nuclei of the lung, the liver, the spleen and the testicles for the 6 and 78 weeks old animals were calculated. The biochemical parameters can be used for the characterization of the inhibition of growth of the different organs of calves and cattle by malnutrition and diseases.
