The effects of diatomaceous earth-based drugs, Diatomite and Biokoretron, on morphofunctional parameters, blood chemistry, antibody mediated non-specific immunity and growth of post-weaning pigs were investigated. The studies showed that both drugs had growth promoting and antianemic effects on the weaned pigs, increased the protein and mineral metabolism rate, and stimulated non-specific immunity factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
