[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1477964, member: 12607"] Not an equine specialist, but ordinarily, I'm unaware of anyone routinely recommending feeding CTC to horses; there is, and always will be, some concern about tetracyclines contributing to enterocolitis... but that may be a dose-dependent deal. Ran across this blurb in a set of notes about equine nutrition from someone at Auburn Univ: "Presently, the Food and Drug Administration allows the use of 85 mg chlortetracycline per head daily for horses up to one year of age for stimulating growth and improving feed efficiency (Jurgen, 2002)." (take note of the 2002 date - may no longer be accurate; VFD certainly does not allow feeding for growth stimulation or feed efficiency in food animals any longer) [/QUOTE]
