EFFECT OF LINCO-SPECTIN VIA THE IRON DEXTRAN INJECTION ON PERFORMANCES OF SUCKLING PIGS

บทคัดย่อ

Ninety one piglets, 46 males and 45 females, were treated with Linco-spectin combined with the iron dextran injection as treatment II. Ninety one littermates, 50 males and 41 females, served as treatment I or control receiving only normal iron dextran injection. They were injected at 3 day of life.

It was found that piglets in treatment II had significantly lower mortality rate than piglets in treatment I. No significant differences were observed in birth weight, mortality from 7 to 42 days, weaning weight and average daily gain from birth to weaning between the two groups.

Significant sex x treatment interaction on weaning weight indicated that medicated treatment had more effective to male than female piglets.
