Antibiotics Open New Horizons in Animal Feeds
A Florida study led by Dr. Cunha shows aureomycin in pig feeds boosts daily gain to about 1.69 pounds and reduces feed needed per 100 pounds of gain. Michigan experiments with chicks also indicate strong responses. Experts seek to identify the best antibiotics and monitor long term effects on reproduction and resistance, amid a rush to find answers in public and private labs.

Soft Water Boosts Cow Milk Output, Researcher Claims
The Sheboygan County Holstein group in Plymouth heard E. J. Culligan report that two test cows raised daily milk by 40 to 41 pounds after switching from hard water to aerated soft water. He noted an 80 to 121 pound rise for one cow and said 85 percent of U S has hard water. Further studies aim to pin down the link between water hardness and animal well being.
