Abstract

Methods for producing phenotypic female mammals intended for human or animal consumption despite androgen administration to obtain the benefits thereof, which methods include prenatally exposing said female mammals to androgen by administering to the mother an effectively constant amount of androgen sufficient to achieve and maintain a level of circulating androgen in the mother's bloodstream approximately equivalent to that of a normal adult male of the same species.
