In an 82-day trial conducted by Kansas State University, grazing steers fed Aureomycin® (350 mg per head daily) and Bovatec® (30 grams per ton of feed) showed an average daily gain that was 10 percent higher than unmedicated controls (2.64 pounds of gain per day vs. 2.40).  

 “As a general rule, we found that using the two medications together increased gain by 0.20 to 0.30 pound per day,” reports Dr. Gerry Kuhl, a retired cattle specialist from KSU who did some of the early trial work with the combination. 

“When you get that improvement in rate of gain for a few pennies per day, it’s a very attractive investment — one that could also make energy and protein supplementation more cost-effective for grazing situations.”

While the KSU trials were limited to grazing beef cattle, investigators think the Aureomycin + Bovatec combination will benefit dairy operations as well — particularly in growing dairy replacement heifers because it will keep them disease-free and boost efficiency and performance.
