<b>Safety evaluation of matrine and its impact as a feed additive on the production performance of piglets</b> by Zhigang Cao (15458561)

“…<p dir="ltr">Our findings imply that the LD50 of matrine in mice was 202.54 mg/kg, and matrine didn’t cause any hazardous effects when administered to rats within the range of 24.5-50 mg/kg for 180 days. Furthermore, supplementation of 0.375 mg/kg, 0.75 mg/kg, and 1.5 mg/kg matrine can increase ADG (average daily weight gain), and ADFI (average daily feed intake), and decrease the FCR (food conversion rate) of piglets. …”
