These are the main classes of antibiotics. Most antibiotics have 2 names, the trade or brand name, created by the drug company that manufactures the drug, and a generic name, based on the antibiotic's chemical structure or chemical class. Trade names such as Keflex and Zithromax are capitalized.
Barbiturates such as Phenobarbitol or Phenobarbitone can cause depletion of calcium, folic acid, vitamin D, vitamin K, and biotin. Phenytoin such as Dilantin can deplete a wide range of nutrients including biotin, calcium, folic acid, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, vitamin D and vitamin K.
Macrominerals (major minerals) that are commonly added to swine diets are calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and chloride (magnesium and potassium are also required but are adequately supplied by grains). Microminerals (minor or trace minerals) or primary concern are zinc, copper, iron, manganese, iodine, and selenium.ecause the amounts of calcium and phosphorus can vary in products commonly called dical, producers need to know how to adjust the amount of dical and limestone in their swine diets. In the suggested diets (Example Diets), 21 percent phosphorus monocal was used for formulation.
