A 43-day growth study with a total of 384 weanling pigs (14 ± 2 d of age) was conducted to evaluate the effects of Carnichrome®, a combination of L-carnitine and chromium picolinate, on growth performance of weanling pigs. Secondary objectives were to compare pigs fed diets with or without a feed-grade medication, evaluate any interactive effects between Carnichrome and medication, and identify...

Uptake studies with [14C]picolinate and 55Fe3+ have provided an explanation for the change in streptonigrin killing on adaptation of Escherichia coli to picolinate, in terms of the available iron within the cell. When picolinic acid is added to a growing culture of E. coli an interval of bacteriostasis ensues; this adaptation period is followed by resumption of exponential growth. Addition of p...
