[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 963383, member: 19171"] My statements about the differences in those products come from a single lecture in a nutrition course I am in right now, not any experience of my own, so I am trying to take everything I hear with a grain of salt until I can get a bit more of that experience. I did do a quick review of some of the published data from the 80's on Monensin and Lasalocid(Bovatec) and it is clear that cattle eat less and gain more when fed either, especially in a feedlot environment. The differences in the two products don't seem as clear in that quick search, though. Some data shows no increase in gains over controls, but up to 18% lower feed intakes when fed free choice diets, others show the opposite and everything in between. Regardless, feeding ionophores is a no-brainer if you aren't selling into a program that doesn't allow it and I believe that technologies like ionophores and growth promoting implants are going to become increasingly important as we need to become more efficient.
