dc.description.abstract |
A total of 108 21-day-old pigs, weighing less than 10 lb, were utilized in two, 28-day trials to compare the effects of feeding high nutrient-density diets with either added apramycin, neomycin, or carbadox on pig performance. In Tria1, pigs fed the diet containing Apralan® gained slightly faster and were more efficient (P<.05) than pigs fed neomycin during the first 14 days postweaning. There were no differences in pig performance in Trials I or II for the entire 28-day period. Two additional 28-day on-farm studies using a total of 427, 21-day old pigs were conducted, feeding a high nutrient-density diet medicated with either
apramycin or neomycin plus terramycin. In both on-farm trials, pigs fed apramycin
gained faster (P<.05) than pigs fed neomycin plus terramycin for the initial 14 days
post weaning. In the second on-farm trial, feed intake was higher (P<.09) during the
first 14 days for pigs fed apramycin. Additionally, pigs fed diets medicated with
apramycin were slightly heavier (1. 7 and 1.5 additional pounds for the first and
second on-farm trials, respectively) at 28 days post weaning compared to pigs fed
neomycin plus terramycin. These results indicate that apramycin will improve the
performance of early-weaned pigs fed high nutrient-density diets compared to other feed medications. |
