Abstract
Intermittent Feeding of Tylan Reduces Use of In-Feed Antibiotics While Still Controlling Incidence of Liver Abscesses in Finishing Steers
Highlights
Liver abscesses are a cause of concern for many feedlots across the country as they lead to a decrease in feedlot performance of finishing cattle as well as a decrease in the final carcass value
The purpose of this study was to determine whether feeding tylosin phosphate periodically throughout the finishing period will have a comparable effect on decreasing liver abscesses as when we would feed tylosin phosphate continuously through the finishing period
Percentage total liver abscesses (P=0.007) was greater for the negative control group when compared to the positive control and periodic tylosin feeding groups (Figure 1)
