Monensin

Monensin, 73 grams per ton

Feed continuously in a complete feed 5 to 40 g/ton monensin on a 90% dry matter basis to provide 50 to 480 mg monensin per head per day. No additional improvement in feed efficiency has been shown from feeding monensin at levels greater than 30 g/ton (360 mg monensin per head per day).

Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses has been fatal. Monensin medicated cattle and goat feeds are safe for use in cattle and goats only. Consumption by unapproved species may result in toxic reactions. Feeding undiluted or mixing errors resulting in high concentrations of monensin has been fatal to cattle and could be fatal to goats. Must be thorougly mixed in feeds before use. Do not exceed the levels of monensin recommended in the feeding directions as reduced average daily gains may result. Do not feed to lactating goats. If feed refusals containing monensin are fed to other groups of cattle, the concentration of monensin in the refusals and amount of refusals fed should be taken into consideration to prevent monensin overdosing.

Feed continuously 10 to 40 g/ton to provide 0.14 to 0.42 mg per pound of body weight per day, depending upon severity of challenge, up to a maximum of 480 mg of monensin per head per day.

Feed continuously at 50 to 200 mg per head per day. Blend into a minimum of 1 pound of Type C medicated feed and either hand feed or mix into the total ration. Feed (other than the Type C medicated feed containing Rumensin) can be restricted to 95% (of normal requirements) when 50 mg of monensin activity is fed, and to 90% at 200 mg. Cows on pasture or in dry lot must receive a minimum of 1 pound of Type C medicated feed per head per day. Additionally, a minimum of 16 pounds (air-dry basis) of roughage such as silage, haylage, ammoniated straw, hay or equivalent feedstuffs should be fed in order to meet NRC recommendations for beef cows to gain 0.25 to 0.75 pounds per head per day. Standing, dried winter range forage may not be of adequate quality to result in improved e¬fficiency when supplemented with Rumensin. During the first 5 days, pastured cattle should receive no more than 100 mg per day contained in not less than 1 pound of feed. Do not self feed.

This reduction increases with higher doses of monensin fed. Rule out monensin as the cause of reduced feed intake before attributing to other causes such as illness, feed management, or the environment. You may notice reduced milk fat percentage in dairy cows fed monensin. This reduction increases with higher doses of monensin fed. You may notice increased incidence and treatment of cystic ovaries and metritis, reduced conception rates, increased services per animal, and extended days open and corresponding calving intervals in dairy cows fed monensin. Have a comprehensive and ongoing nutritional, reproductive and herd health program in place when feeding monensin to dairy cows.

For increased rate of weight gain, and for prevention and control of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii in growing beef steers and heifers on pasture (stocker, feeder, and slaughter) and replacement beef heifers on pasture which may require supplemental feed.

MoorMan's® Mintrate® Blonde Block RU is for growing beef steers and heifers on pasture (stocker, feeder, and slaughter) and replacement beef heifers on pasture when maintained on good quality pasture or roughage. If the pasture is in short supply or poor quality, Mintrate Red Block RU is recommended. Before feeding, be sure cattle are accustomed to protein blocks by feeding unmedicated Mintrate Blocks for 30 to 60 day or until cattle have demonstrate ed proper consumption. As soon as cattle have demonstrated proper consumption, remove the non-medicated blocks and replace with the amount of Mintrate Blonde Block RU. Feed this block free-choice. Do not allow animals access to other protein blocks, salt or mineral while being fed this product. Recommended consumption of block is 0.34 to 1.33 lb per head per day to provide 50 to 200 mg monensin per head per day. A 10-day supply of blocks may be put out at one time. Place blocks near water or loafing areas. Not less than one block for each 10 to 12 animals is recommended. Additional blocks should be put out when the current blocks are 75% consumed.
