Abstract

Steers managed within an intensive-early stocking program and receiving Rumensin® via a slow-release bolus tended to have higher average daily gains than steers not receiving Rumensin. However, forage organic matter intake, fill, digestibility, and diet selection showed little response to Rumensin administration.
