Supplementing narasin or monensin to control coccidiosis in naturally infected calves.

This experiment compared narasin and monensin as anticoccidials for calves naturally infected with spp. Twenty-four weaned, non-castrated male calves ( ×  cross) were assigned to this experiment (days -8 to 42). All calves were infected by spp.

An updated meta-analysis of the anti-methanogenic effects of monensin in beef cattle.

Meta-analyses were performed to quantitatively summarize the effects of monensin on in vivo methane (CH4) production in beef cattle, and differentiate these outcomes according to dietary management, dose of monensin, and length of monensin supplementation. Data from 11 manuscripts describing 20 individual studies were used, and CH4 was converted to g/d when required. Studies were classified according to dose of monensin (mg/kg of diet dry matter), length of monensin supplementation prior to the last CH4 measurement, feeding management (ad libitum vs.

Effects of supplementing narasin to heifers during late-gestation and lactation on development of the offspring.

This experiment evaluated the effects of supplementing narasin during late-gestation and lactation on productive and physiological responses of beef heifers and their offspring. Pregnant, nulliparous Nelore heifers ( = 88) that conceived under the same fixed-time artificial insemination protocol and to the same sire were used. Heifers were ranked by maternal ability genomic score, body weight () and body condition score () and allocated to 44 drylot pens (2 heifers per pen; 10 × 25 m).
