Hematological and Blood Chemical Data of Pigs Fed Various Amounts of Mink Manure
Hematologiska och kemiska blodvärden hos gödsvin matade med varierande mängd minkgödsel
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 19, pages 84–92 (1978)
Abstract
The effect of feeding mink manure to pigs and the utilization of its protein and mineral content was studied by blood analyses. Individual variation was large, and the differences between groups were small. Growth of the animals had a significant effect on the levels of several blood components. Judging from the blood analyses, mink manure feeding did not have any harmful effects on the health of the pigs, and the differences to normal feeding were small.
Sammanfattning
Effekten av minkgödseltillskott i fodret åt gödsvin och tillgodogörelsen av dess protein- och mineralinnehåll studerades genom blodundersökningar. Den individuella variationen var stor och skillnaderna mellan försöksgrupperna små. Ett flertal blodvärden påverkades i signifikant grad av djurens tillväxt. Av blodundersökningarna att döma hade tillskotten av minkgödsel ingen som helst negativ inverkan på svinens hälsotillstånd, och skillnaderna till normal utfodring var obetydliga.
