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 gain and ADFI were decreased (P < 0.05) by lipopolysaccharide injection [2].
Treatment with pGH improved feed efficiency (P less than .05) but did not affect ADG, concentrations of testosterone in plasma, or aroma of cooked meat (all P greater than .05) [3].
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 [4].
Average daily gain and FCR in the cyadox-supplemented pigs were higher (p < 0.05) than those in the olaquindox-supplemented pigs [5].
Average daily gain in cyadox-supplemented pigs was greater (P < 0.05) than that in olaquindox-supplemented pigs [1].
