Antibiotics and the Reproduction of Swine1

L. E. Carpenter and Nora Larson

Hormel Institute2

Abstract

Feeding the antibiotic aureomycin to swine from weaning through two gestation and lactation periods did not have a harmful or beneficial effect on reproduction.

Neither aureomycin nor penicillin was observed to be transferred across the placental tissues of the sow.

Aureomycin can be detected in the milk of sows given the antibiotic orally but the amount is small and variable, and does not influence growth rate of suckling pigs.
