Abstract
A method of promoting the more rapid growth of an animal or plant, which comprises administering to said animal, to a food source for said animal, to a plant or to a plant habitat a growth-promoting effective amount of leupeptin. The leupeptin can be incorporated into an animal feed or supplement containing a food base. It apparently functions by inhibiting proteases which degrade proteins, and thus reduce the growth of the host.
