Responses in young pigs and rats to the incorporation of antibiotic and copper in the diet.

These experiments present original information on the effect of the antibiotic, tylosin, on the digestibility of rations and on the rate of passage of feed residues in early-weaned pigs. New information is presented on comparative responses of rats and pigs to similar treatments. The effect of treatments on digestibility of ration components was somewhat similar in the two species; an increase in the soybean content of the ration resulted in a more rapid rate of passage in rats but had no effect in pigs.
