Why the study?

Does T-2 toxin affect the clinical status, performance, and metabolism in growing pigs?

Population

Seven-week-old growing pigs weighing about 9 kg

Comparison

Prestarter feed containing 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0… vs Prestarter feed free from T-2 toxin

Design

Preclinical

Follow-up

3 weeks

Implication

May impair swine performance at low exposure; leaves open translation to veterinary practice and feed safety thresholds.

Structured PICO

Does T-2 toxin affect the clinical status, performance, and metabolism in growing pigs?

P
Population
Seven-week-old growing pigs weighing about 9 kg
I
Intervention
Prestarter feed containing 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 10.0 or 15.0 mg/kg of highly purified T-2 toxin for three weeks
C
Comparator
Prestarter feed free from T-2 toxin
O
Outcome
Weight gains, feed intakes, feed refusal, energy and protein metabolism, serum concentrations of calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium, and aspartate aminotransferase activitysurrogate

Even the smallest tested dose of T-2 toxin (0.5 mg/kg) negatively impacts feed consumption and increases aspartate aminotransferase activity in growing pigs.
