When "migs per kig" is dictated does it mean mcg/kg or mg/kg.
migs per kig - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Usually when it's mcg, they dictate what sounds like "mikes" and when it's mg, they dictate "migs." When in doubt, I always Google what they're dictating to make sure it matches up. If I still have any doubt, I flag it. HTH!
