Animal feeding trials are expensive. Animals must be obtained, properly housed and fed, and provided with necessary veterinary care. The cost of live animal research is even greater when large animals such as dairy cows are used. A practical alternative to live beef and dairy animal research is the artificial rumen. Artificial rumen technology has been available for more than 25 years. Early systems placed a bolus of feed into a sealable vessel containing rumen fluid. After 12 hours of...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Elanco's application to expand the allowable range of Rumensin (monensin sodium) in dry feed supplements for dairy cows. These supplements, known as Type B feeds, must be mixed with other ingredients before they are fed. Now Type B dry feeds may include an increased range of 23 g/ton to 80,000 g/ton of Rumensin on a dry matter basis (rather than the previous range of 40 g/ton to 80,000 g/ton).
This expanded range adds flexibility as...

Rain and sun have worked their grass-greening magic on pastures, but cattle producers know that too much of a good thing can be detrimental. Excess consumption of newly emerged wheat in pastures can cause bloating in cattle, Texas Cooperative Extension reports.
“We have a bloat problem in stocker cattle grazing wheat from Central Texas to the Panhandle,” said Extension livestock specialist Dr. Joe Paschal.
Spurred on by plenty of soil moisture, winter wheat grew “fast and tall,” said Dr....

Recommendations for use of a feed additive for dairy cows have been made by a University of Illinois Extension dairy specialist. Mike Hutjens said proper use of the additive, monensin (commercially known as rumensin), should increase feed efficiency, improve protein status, and reduce bloat risk.
"With the FDA clearance to feed monensin to dry and lactating cows, dairy managers have a new tool to improve feed efficiency and herd health," said Hutjens. "However, dairy managers should...

A new dairy cattle feed additive which increases milk production efficiency has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week. According to the agency, Rumensin (monensin sodium), produced by Elanco Animal Health, is designed to increase milk production efficiency in lactating cows by delivering more milk per pound of feed.
The FDA says Rumensin is the first approved feed ingredient that increases milk-production efficiency. Unlike rBST, which is a hormone injected into...
