Rumensin for small calves.

[cornstalk]

Hey all -

When can I begin including commercial protein with a rumensin inclusion (4020) in a feedlot diet? (Calves weaned 60 days ago - 600lbs)

Thanks

Now.

Thanks Scotty.

Have a few in the lot that are on the lighter end (500), and have been kind of post-poning on their behalf.

Rumensin tag really doesnt say what the cut off is so have been giving 38/0 all natural @ 1lb a piece per day. Will start to transition them to the 40/20r.

Thanks

If you could try and find a commercial pellet using monensin no sense in paying all that money to elanco. How many grams per ton of rumensin is there in the pellet you are currently feeding?

They are currently getting 38-0, which is all natural protein.

The inclusion rate on the 38-0 is 4%. Lasalocid g/ton = 20.

I generally simplify this and feed 1 lb per head per day. (1/2 lb a piece twice per day)
