“…Penicillin improved calcium absorption in pullets fed a low calcium diet when percentage of an oral dose of s Ca found in bone was measured (Migicovsky et al, 1951). Black et al (1984a,b) used tissue manganese uptake during short-term, high level supplementation of manganese sources (1000 to 4000 ppm) in conventional diets to determine bioavailability.…”

An experiment was conducted with day-old Cobb feather-sexed chicks for 21 days to study the effect of virginiamycin and dietary manganese on tissue uptake of manganese and intestinal tract weight. The 2 X 2 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments included 0 or 12 ppm virginiamycin and 0 or 1000 ppm added manganese as MnSO4 X H2O. Ad libitum intake was determined with four pens of five birds fed the basal corn-soybean meal diet. To eliminate the possibility that tissue manganese concentration of virginiamycin-fed birds could be attributed to increased dietary manganese intake, chicks fed experimental diets were restricted to 90% of the previous day's intake of ad libitum-fed birds. Feed intake, average daily gain, and feed efficiency were not affected by treatments. Virginiamycin decreased (P less than .001) relative intestinal tract weight from 3.34 to 2.68 g/100 g body weight. Kidney and bone manganese increased (P less than .05) when virginiamycin was fed (14.0 vs. 15.4 ppm dry basis and 21.8 vs. 24.6 ppm ash basis, respectively), indicating that virginiamycin increased absorption of manganese.

“…This further supports the idea that the beneficial effects of antibiotics are associated with an improved efficiency of absorption and utilization of certain minerals. It will be recalled that Migicovsky et al (1951) and Ross et al (1952) showed that penicillin improved the uptake of calcium by chicks. Gabuten and Shaffner (1954) found that penicillin increased blood calcium levels in adult fowl.…”

“…The effect of dietary penicillin on calcium absorption (Migicovsky et al, 1951), on the concentration of serum carotenoid pigments, and liver vitamin A and on the concentration of yolk biotin and folic acid (Waibel et al, 1952) suggests that the antibiotic increases (a) the amount of these nutrients available to the host or (b) the absorptive capacity of the gut wall. Either of these hypotheses explains the "vitamin-sparing" activity of antibiotics when included in diets which contain suboptimal amounts of certain vitamins (Sunde et al, 1951, Coates et al, 1951 and accounts for the observed increase in feed efficiency when antibiotics are added to simplified diets Branion and Hill, 1951).…”

“…Common et al (1950) found that aureomycin enhanced the elevation of serum calcium and riboflavin caused by injected estrogen in the immature pullet. Migicovsky et al (1951) have observed that dietary penicillin increases the absorption of calcium. Burgess et al (1951) found that dietary penicillin increased the liver storage of vitamin A and the blood level of carotenoid pigments in the chick.…”
