Grain Feeding
NATURAL, ECONOMICAL & EFFECTIVE alternatives to Eskalin (antibiotic) and Rumensin (ionophore) 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 MegaMin as an acidosis preventative and to evaluate growth performance of feedlot steers. ......................... Rumen Fluid pH Results in Brief: These studies indicated that supplementation with MegaMin 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 MegaMin performed better than those fed eskalin.
