NOTES

Female Weanling Yorkshire Pigs were used. Radioactivity was measured until the amount present in the urine was equal to background levels. The % Absorption was derived by adding the % of the topically applied radioactive dose in urine, faeces & carcass -application site. The radioactive dose was 5microCi.
