RESUMO

Both male and female pigs given a ration containing corn invaded by Fusarium roseum, in amounts sufficient to provide 500 to 600 ppm of F-2, for the first 64 days of the test and which for another 60 days were given a commercial pig ration were much lower in weight than the controls which were given a commercial pig ration throughout. In relation to the weight of the animals, in the pigs receiving the ration containing F-2, the weight of the uterine horn of the gilts was much greater and the weight of the testes of the males was much less than the weight of the same organs of the controls.
