Abstract
Swine dermatitis or parakeratosis was produced in pigs on rations containing 34-44 ppm of Zn. The level of Ca and/or P affected the incidence and severity of the disease. Supplementing the diet with .02% of ZnCO3 (or .01% ZnCO3 in a trace mineral mixture) cured or prevented the disease. The Zn-supplemented rations produced excellent growth in pigs.Keywords
