Abstract

New methods and compositions for inducing polyphagia in growing or fattening meat producing animals such as sheep or cattle are described using as active ingredients tertiary alcohols or the corresponding carbamates, ureas, oxyureas or ureides. The active ingredients are used most usefully at sub-hypnotic quantities admixed in animal feed.
