Title: The effects of group size and subtherapeutic antibiotic alternatives on growth performance and morbidity of nursery pigs: a model for feed additive evaluation Document date: 2018_7_6
ID: r6xzqu6a_2
Snippet: Most published studies evaluating AGP alternatives have been conducted in academic research settings, which typically house fewer pigs per pen than commercial production facilities. Because group size may impact pig performance, specifically in the nursery phase (Wolter et al., 2000) , one may question whether the results of such studies could be different in a commercial setting. Furthermore, inherent environmental differences between academic r.....
Document: Most published studies evaluating AGP alternatives have been conducted in academic research settings, which typically house fewer pigs per pen than commercial production facilities. Because group size may impact pig performance, specifically in the nursery phase (Wolter et al., 2000) , one may question whether the results of such studies could be different in a commercial setting. Furthermore, inherent environmental differences between academic research facilities and commercial pork production facilities create the need for more commercial-scale data.
