From page 1...
... Numerous metabolic adaptations result from bST administration with a consequent increase in nutrient availability for milk synthesis. Depending on nutritional status, nutrients derived from body reserves can provide support for the increase in milk synthesis; but, subsequently, feed intake increases, which provides the nutrients necessary to sustain the increase in milk yield.

... Furthermore, with optimal energy nutriture, lysine, as the first limiting amino acid for growth, will require fortification compared to conventional diet formulations. The subcommittee recommends the adoption of feeding standards formulated on the basis of target tissue growth end composition.
