Abstract: OLAVE, GLENN P. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2005. Effect of Chlortetracycline and Zinc Bacitracin combination (D'BAC®) on Growth Performance of Sixty (60) Day Old Piglets. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Adviser: Saldovar A. Matienzo, DVM. The study was undertaken to determine the effect of Chlortetracycline and Zinc Bacitracin combination (D'BAC®) on growth performance of sixty-day-old piglet. Two groups of piglets composed of nine males and nine females were fed commercial hog starter rations containing CTC-Zinc Bacitracin combination at the recommended prophylactic dose of 1:1000. The other two groups of piglets with nine males and nine females were fed with plain commercial hog starter mash. The initial and the final body weights were gathered after a period of thirty days. The parameters monitored in the study were Average Daily Gain (ADG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), prevalence of enteric and respiratory diseases, mortality rates of enteric and respiratory diseases and profit analysis. The results gathered between the four groups were compared and revealed that piglets fed with rations containing CTC-Zinc Bacitracin combination had ADG significantly greater by 13.04 % and improved FCR. It was also noted that the no cases of enteric diseases was observed among groups raised with D'BAC® in feeds as compared to two cases of diarrhea in untreated groups. Although no difference was observed among treatment groups, regarding the occurrence of respiratory diseases which resulted into two mortalities. This is probably due to the following reasons: disease agents resistant to the antibiotic combination; the development of local resistance against the antibiotic; alteration of normal microflora; and possible subclinical infection prior to the conduct of the study. The cost and return analysis revealed that piglets raised with D'BAC® were more profitable compared to those fed with untreated commercial feeds with an average profit difference of PhP 1917.19.
