The effect of feeding different levels of Aureomycin® in a mineral mixture to stocker cattle grazing native grass

Brazle, F.K.
Two hundred and forty-three mixed breed

steers were allotted to four treatments with

two pastures per treatment. Treatments

consisted of a free-choice mineral supplement

alone or with Aureomycin® added to provide

150, 300, or 450 mg/hd/day. Gain was

similar for all four treatments. The percentage

of cattle with eye problems was

reduced in pastures where 150 and 450 mg of

Aureomycin were consumed daily; however,

the incidence in the 300 mg/hd/day group

was as high as in the control group.
