A New Acidosis Preventative for Grain Feeding

Trials - Grain Feeding

     Dr Lewis Kahn - University of New England, Armidale

Trial Objective: To evaluate the use of Superior Mineral Supplement as an acidosis preventative and to evaluate growth performance of feedlot steers.

Results in Brief: (more details in our next newsletter)

These studies indicated that supplementation with Superior Mineral Supplement provided equivalent animal health protection and growth performance, compared to the antibiotic, Eskalin and the ionophore, Rumensin, when animals were fed the high grain diet used in this research.

No evidence of any animal heath problems (eg acidosis) were evident. Feed intake was also unaffected by supplementation.

Growth rates were not significantly different for the various supplements/additives and carcass grading suggested that animals fed Superior Mineral Supplements performed better than those fed eskalin.
