Abstract

The subcutaneous implantation of lambs at two days of age with antibiotic pellets had no significant effect on growth rate when the following antibiotic implantations were made: 44 mg. bacitracin; 88 mg. bacitracin; 22 mg. bacitracin and 9.4 mg. penicillin; 44 mg. bacitracin and 18.8 mg. penicillin; 140 mg. aureomycin hydrochloride; 132 mg. bacitracin.

Similarly, no effect on growth rate was shown when lambs at an average age of 44 days were implanted with a total of 140 mg. aureomycin per lamb.
