Impact of in-feed antibiotic regimens on pig performance and expression of clinical and subclinical diseases
Published:April 15, 2014
Summary
Introduction Determine the impact of purge and continuous feed additive regimens in grow-finish for the control of ileitis and respiratory disease caused by P. multocida as expressed through improved performance parameters of improved feed intake, growth rate and feed conversion. Materials and methods During the grow-finish period starting at 45 da...
this data would fit growth curves - I am teaching modeling class ( mathematical modeling of animal growth and requirements ) and if you wish can make assignment for students to fit this type of data to curves.
The use of random regression - a random effect for each pig can eliminate the end of the trial biases in the ADG caused by serial marketing (trust me - Craig and Schinckel 2001 and Schinckel and Craig 2002)
