EFFECT OF GARLIC (ALLIUM SAVITUM ), HORSERADISH (AROMATICA RUSTICANA ) AND ENROFLOXACIN IN THE PREVENTION OF PERIPARTURIENT DISORDERS AND PRE- AND POST-WEANING MORTALITY IN SWINE
J. Sika and G. Bilkei

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the effect of addition of garlic, horseradish or enrofloxacin in the prevention of periparturient disorders in sows and pre- and post-weaning mortality in piglets. The trial was performed in Hungary from September to December 1999 in a large herd of 1900 sows.
???? Sows of average body condition and parity were assigned pre-partum to one of four experimental groups and received in their diet either 1000 ppm dry garlic powder (group one), 1000 ppm dry horseradish powder (group two), 50 ppm enrofloxacin (group three) or no supplement (group four, control). The occurrences of periparturient disease complex (PDC), pre- (PM) and post-weaning mortality (PWM) were evaluated.
