Effects on body weight and clinical signs in pigs in experimentally induced hypothyroidism
Prasanna Ks
Abstract :
Goitrogens are agents that reduce the production of thyroxin. There are naturally available goitrogens like cabbage, cassava and rubber seed meal, inclusion of which in feed for longer period can cause harmful effects in animals. A study was conducted taking pig as a model to evaluate the effects of goitrogen. Thiourea was used for inducing hypothyroidism in pigs and the effects of inclusion at @ 50 mg/ kg body weight in the basal ration were studied in male pigs.
