Abstract

Adding Bovatec, OTC, Bovalec plus OTC or Rumensin-Tylan to finishing steer diets did not significantly improve average daily gain in the 133 day feeding period, but did improve (P<.05) feed to gain ratios. The Rumensin-Tylan combination was the only treatment that reduced (P<.05) liver abscess incidences.
