Changes induced in newborn piglets by the trichothecene toxin T-2.

Three pregnant sows, being in the last quarter of gestation, were used in an experiment to study the changes induced in newborn piglets by T-2 toxin. One sow was used as control (C). The other two received 24 mg (sow A) and 6 mg (sow B) T-2 toxin, respectively, mixed in the feed, daily, up to the time of farrowing.
