Data on feed utilisation, nutrient retention and carcass characteristics showed that 6.0mg pyridoxine/kg feed is the minimum requirement whereas 5.5mg/hg feed was required for prevention of mortality and maintenance of normal haemoglobin concentration, pached cell volume (PCV) and aspartate aminotransferase activities in serum and liver.application/pdfQ Science (General)Article
