... meet is very similar in color, taste, tenderness, and juiciness to those who have not received PST. As pigs grow closer to market weight, they produce less PST, which results in poor feed efficiency. The muscle gain stays fairly constant while more nutrients taken in by the animal are used in fat production causing the animal to require more energy for the production of muscle. Manufactured PST will provide a boost in the natural levels of PST in a maturing pig. If there is more PST, there will be more efficient utilization of feed and fat production will be kept to a minimum. PST is effective if it is taken in the expected dose of 5mg/pig/day. If the pig is ...
