title: [Effect of cimaterol on nitrogen metabolism in fattening bullocks].
abstract: Nitrogen balance was studied in 5 bulls fed a concentrated diet containing 0 or 4 ppm cimaterol. Cimaterol increased nitrogen retention, mainly by reducing urinary nitrogen excretion due to decreased body protein degradation. There was a tendency for reduced nitrogen utilization efficiency when treatment was prolonged.
