Abstract
Effect of dietary Aureomycin and Terramycin on the rat thyroid was investigated. Although both caused a growth increase of approximately 25%, no differences were found in the histological picture of the thyroid of the experimental groups as compared with controls. Relative weight of the gland was nearly the same in all groups.Keywords
