A Study of the Growth-Promoting Effects of Trimethylalkylammonium Stearate and Antibiotics for Pigs1

R. W. Luecke, J. A. Hoefer and F. Thorp, Jr.2

Michigan State University, East Lansing

Abstract

In three separate trials involving a total of 145 pigs the addition of trimethylalkylammonium stearate to the ration was found to stimulate growth. However, in only two of the three trials was this growth stimulation found to be statistically significant.

The mechanism by which this compound exerts its effect is unknown at present.
