The Serum Protein-Bound Iodine of Swine as a Measure of Growth Potentialities1

Anthony M. Gawienowski, Dennis T. Mayer and John F. Lasley

University of Missouri2

Abstract

  1. The average protein-bound iodine values of Hampshire gilts and barrows was 3.08 meg. per 100 ml. of serum. The range was 1.2 to 5.4 meg. per 100 ml.
  2. The average daily gains of the young Hampshire swine studied increased as the level of PBI decreased (p less than .01).
  3. The body length decreased as the PBI levels in the blood increased (p less than 0.05).
  4. Individual pigs with longer left legs also tended to have a higher PBI content in the blood but the correlation was not statistically significant.
  5. The average back fat thickness increased as the PBI level decreased. The linear correlation was not significant, however.
