Antibiotic Feed Supplement (Aureomycin) for Dairy Calves

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Baton Rouge

ABSTRACT

An aureomycin supplement (Aurofac) fed at a 2 per cent level in a grain ration stimulated the growth of ruminating dairy calves (14 wk. old) by approximately 35 per cent for the first 6 wk., and resulted in better appearance and condition of the animals. This increased rate of growth declined thereafter and after 20 wk. of feeding the antibiotic supplement, the calves showed gains similar to those in the control group. The feeding of aureomycin produced no detrimental effects.
