Gómez-Armendáriz MA, Juan Ignacio Dávila Félix JI, Escobar Medina FJ. Weight gain in sheep
treated with zeranol. Forty Khatadine x Dorper lambs (20 male and 20 female) received no treatment or 1 ml
of Zeramec/50 Kg on 3 days after weaning (10 male and 10 female/group). Animals had a libitum access of
water, sat, minerals and diet that covered their nutritional requirements; and were weighted and determined
their feed intake every 28 days. After 90 days, the average weight gain was 9.25 and 11.60 Kg in the males
treated with Zeramec and no treated, respectively; and 6.67 and 9.20 Kg in the females. The differences were
not statistically significant (P>0.05). The feed intake was increased (P
