  • Effect of tylosin on ruminal Fusobacterium necrophorum population and fermentation products in cattle fed a high-grain diet
    Nagaraja, T.G.; Wallace, N.; Sun, Y.; Kemp, K.E.; Parrott, J.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1998)
    Tylosin feeding prevented the increase in Fusobacterium necrophorum population normally associated with the feeding of a high-grain diet. Also, tylosin appeared to moderate the ruminal fermentation during initial adaptation ...
