Effect of medicated mineral mixtures and a pinkeye vaccine on the gain and health of steers grazing native grass pastures

Brazle, F.2010-11-122010-11-122010-11-12http://hdl.handle.net/2097/6512Feeding supplements containing an antibiotic or ionophore improved stocker gains by .06 to .26 lb per head daily. A combination of Bovatec and Aureomycin in the mineral mixture improved (P<.08) steer gains over feeding Aureomycin alone. Mineral intake was higher than expected for the steers grazing burned, double-stocked) native grass pastures in 1987. Vaccinating steers with Piliguard at turn-out had no effect on pinkeye incidence and reduced stocker gains slightly.BeefMedicated mineral mixturesPinkeye vaccineGainHealthEffect of medicated mineral mixtures and a pinkeye vaccine on the gain and health of steers grazing native grass pasturesConference paper
