Abstract: This invention relates to immunogenic compositions capable of potentiality growth hormone activity, comprising an immunologically effective amount of a composite peptide comprising at least two non-contiguous somatotropin epitope amino acid sequences, wherein said composite peptide is substantially free of receptor binding domain sequences; and an immunologically acceptable excipient. The invention further relates to methods of using an immunogenic composition of the invention to potentiate the action of growth hormone in pigs.
