New Detergents In Livestock Feeds
Past two years saw publicity on synthetic detergents in livestock feeds. Some experiments claim 1 lb per 1000 lb ration boosts gain up to 35 percent in poultry and swine, but Lethbridge tests with feeder lambs, rabbits show no feed value. Sheep, rabbits fed detergent alongside standard rations gained similar weight to controls, and feather studies note limited benefits. Detergents are also used as spray material but generally show no nutritive advantage and may be harmful in some cases.
