Abstract
Twelve on-farm trials with a total of 1572 pigs were conducted to evaluate the effect of Flavomycin in growing-finishing swine diets. In three of the twelve trials, average daily gain was increased (P<.06) and in seven of the trials, feed efficiency was improved numerically with Flavomycin over nonmedicated control and other feed additives (Aureomycin, Tylan, Stafac, Pen-Strep, and Lincomix). The percent improvement varied greatly by location of the trial.
