[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 820016, member: 6897"] Rego both Rumensin and Bovatec are hard to feed unless you feeding a TMR or buying a mineral with these additives already included. Gotta get a good mix on it. Bovatec is not approved for feeding to mature cattle however, Rumensin has been approved to be fed to dairy cattle in a TMR. You and Nova both dairy so the Rumensin would work well for both of you. Bovatec is more often used in more typical cow/calf operations (horses often present in the area) as Rumensin can be more toxic at much lower doses. Rumensin is more the preferred product for feedlots. Bovatec is more palatable and "forgiving" whereas Rumensin can actually be used to limit intake somewhat until animals get aclimated to it being in the ration. Haven't priced either in a while but both typically will at $8-10 to the cost of a ton of feed but the increased milk production or weight gain in beef calves usually make it worth the extra cost. Jabo would be hard to feed it in a grazing operation without a supplement containing the additives, but research has shown that both work well in grass operations especially during the times when the pasture feeding value along with an increase in the animal's requirements creates a nutrient gap.... typical daily gains can be increased from 7% to as much as 15% when using either Bovatec or Rumensin.
