[Protein supply and the use of carbadox in growing swine].
In a growth experiment with 144 pigs of the landrace breed in the body weight range of 20 to 100 kg the effect of Carbadox at constant and decreasing levels in the feed until 60 kg body weight on the growth performance and the digestibility of the nutrients in rations with a varying protein supply was studied. The following results were obtained: The supplementation of Carbadox to protein rich diets caused only a small increase in daily body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. The increase of growth performance as a consequence of the addition of Carbadox was more pronounced with the low protein diets. From this result a protein sparing effect of Carbadox can be derived. The effect of Carbadox on growth performance could be observed from 20 to 60 kg body weight and over the whole experimental period from 20 to 90 kg. The increase of growth performance could be largely explained by a better digestibility of the nutrients.
