Disease relevance of ADG

The effects of cyadox and olaquindox were assessed in terms of fecal shedding of E. coli, the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), immunoglobulin A-positive cells (APC) in the intestinal lamina propria, and ADG [1].

High impact information on ADG

Average daily feed intake and ADG did not differ among all diets in phase I and II and overall (d 0 to 28) [2].
Average daily gain was recorded for every individual; mean ADG was .593 +/- .007 kg/d and .619 +/- .009 kg/d in the two families [3].
The first 12 increments were .74 g/d, and the last two increments were 1.48 g/d. Average daily gain (ADG), gain/feed, and protein deposition increased curvilinearly (P < .01) with increasing lysine intake [4].
Average daily gain, ADF, and ME utilization were unaffected by feeding either zeolite diet, while F/G was increased in pigs fed the diet containing 5% clinoptilolite [5].
The results showed pigs treated with 10 mg/kg cadmium significantly decreased average daily gain (ADG) (p<0.05) and increased feed/gain ratio (F/G) (p<0.05) compared to the control [6].

Associations of ADG with chemical compounds

Average daily gain and feed conversion ratio were influenced by alpha-Gal and stachyose supplementation [7].
Average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion efficiency were inhibited (P < 0.05) with the diet containing 0.23% digestible histidine [8].
Average daily gain in cyadox-supplemented pigs was greater (P < 0.05) than that in olaquindox-supplemented pigs [1].

Other interactions of ADG

Average daily gain, G:F, and ADFI during a subsequent 3-wk period were not affected by treatment [9].
