Effect of Prenatal Zeolite Diet on Newborn Pigs
 |
|
| Research shows that the benefits of a zeolite diet are passed through generations. |
|
The vitalizing effects of a zeolite diet can be transferred from mother to offspring. This was shown in experiments at the Ichikawa Livestock Experiment Station (see table below).
Clino was fed each day to pregnant sows and this program continued throughout the 35-day weaning period of their offspring. These piglets showed substantial increase in growth rate and suffered no attacks of diarrhea, while the control groups were severely afflicted with scours which greatly inhibited their normal growth (Buto and Takehashi, 1967).
|
Tests carried out at Ichikawa Livestock Experiment Station, Japan. Four hundred grams of clinoptilolite given to sows in experimental group per day and continued until end of weaning period (Buto and Takenashi, 1967).
