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).
