Beef Cattle Management: Consider Including Ionophores in Cattle Diets
*This is an excerpt from Beef Cattle Management in Uncertain Times
Consider including ionophores in cattle diets to improve feed efficiency. Ionophores are feed additives used to improve animal body weight gain and feed efficiency in beef cattle and can be used in both growing calf and mature cow diets. These additives alter rumen metabolism and aid in the reduction of acidosis, bloat, and coccidiosis. They are fed in small amounts, and feed or mineral supplements can be used as routes of administration.
