Question

An experiment will be conducted to study the effect of zinc supplementation on the

growth of Iambs. Two different sources of zinc (zinc oxide and zinc sulfate) will be added to
a standard feed at rates of 0, IO, 20, 30 or 40 ppm. Suppose all combinations of these two
factors (source and rate) will be used in the experiment. Describe/identify the treatment
structure — it may be helpful to draw a picture/table of the treatment structure.

Answer 1

The treatment structure for the experiment to study the effect of zinc supplementation on the growth of lambs can be represented in a table.

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment structure for the experiment to study the effect of zinc supplementation on the growth of lambs can be represented in a table. The two factors in the experiment are the source of zinc (zinc oxide and zinc sulfate) and the rate of zinc supplementation (0, 10, 20, 30, or 40 ppm). Each combination of these factors will be used as a treatment in the experiment. The table will have two columns for the zinc source and rate, and each combination will be listed as a row.
