Extract

The energy density of diets can be increased by the inclusion of fat containing long chain fatty acids which may have antimicrobial activity. Their interaction with antibiotic feed additives is unknown. This study was designed to investigate the effects of monensin sodium (Romensin - Elanco Products Ltd) an antibiotic feed additive, and supplementary fat (BP fat prills - BP Nutrition Ltd) when fed either alone or together in the diets of barley-beef bulls.
