Effect of Dimetridazole on Rate of Gain and Feed Efficiency in Swine

M. W. Moeller1

Salsbury Laboratories, Charles City, Iowa

Abstract

Graded levels of 0.005 to 0.0625% dimetridazole (l,2-dimethyl-5-nitroimidazole) were fed in eight trials utilizing 337 growing pigs to determine its effect upon rate of gain and feed efficiency. Dimetridazole additions produced significant increases in daily gain and nonsignificant improvements in feed efficiency, when fed to weanling pigs through 27 kg. in weight. When dimetridazole was fed to pigs during the 27- to 86-kg. growth period, nonsignificant increases in daily gain were produced along with significant improvements in feed efficiency.
