Extract

Results of an experiment involving a total of 24 individually-fed pigs, covering the growing period between about 40 and 210 lb. live-weight, indicated that the addition of 20 g./ton griseofulvin to the diet had a slight depressing effect on the rate of growth of the pigs. It had no significant effect on the efficiency of food utilisation, but caused a small reduction in daily food consumption.
