Extract

In an initial experiment, cattle receiving 5 mg. hydroxyzine dihydro-chloride daily gained 12·7% faster and manifested 12·0% better feed conversion ratio than the control, but these effects were not statistically significant under the conditions of the experiment. Carcass quality and endocrines were not affected by hydroxyzine feeding.
