Label highlights
Indication
For increased rate of weight gain, improved feed efficiency, increased carcass leanness, prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii, reduction of incidence of liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes and suppression of estrus (heat) in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter for the last 28 to 42 days on feed
Dosage
Ractopamine is fed at a concentration of 9.8 to 24.6 g of ractopamine per ton of complete feed (based on 90% dry matter basis) to provide 90-430 mg ractopamine/head/day in cattle fed in confinement for slaughter during the last 28 to 42 days on feed.

Monensin is added to feedlot cattle diets at concentrations of 10 to 40 g monensin USP per ton of complete feed to provide 0.14 to 0.42 mg monensin/lb of body weight/day, depending on severity of coccidiosis challenge, up to a maximum of 480 mg monensin/head/day.

Tylosin is added to the cattle diets at concentrations of 8 to 10 g tylosin phosphate per ton complete feed to provide 60 to 90 mg tylosin/head/day.

Melengestrol acetate is added to the diet of heifers at 0.5 to 2.0 pounds per head per day of medicated feed containing 0.125 to 1.0 mg melengestrol acetate per pound to provide 0.25 to 0.5 mg melengestrol acetate per head per day in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter. Feed melengestrol acetate in this combination for the final 28 to 42 days.

Limitations

Feed continuously as sole ration during the last 28 to 42 days on feed. Melengestrol acetate is not effective in steers and spayed heifers. Withdrawal periods of three to five days should be avoided to prevent the possibility that the heifers may come into estrus (heat) at time of loading. Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses has been fatal. Monensin medicated cattle feed is safe for use in cattle only. Consumption by unapproved species may result in toxic reactions. Do not exceed the levels of monensin recommended in the feeding directions, as reduced average daily gains may result. If feed refusals containing monensin are fed to other groups of cattle, the concentration of monensin in the refusals and amount of refusals fed should be taken into consideration to prevent monensin overdosing. Do not use in any finished feed (supplement, concentrate or complete feed) containing in excess of 2% bentonite. Ractopamine HCl is not for animals intended for breeding. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

Indication

For increased rate of weight gain, improved feed efficiency, increased carcass leanness, prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii, reduction of incidence of liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes and suppression of estrus (heat) in heifers fed in confinement for slaughter for the last 20 to 40 days on feed.

Dosage
Limitations

Feed continuously as sole ration during the last 20 to 40 days on feed. Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses has been fatal. Monensin medicated cattle feed is safe for use in cattle only. Consumption by unapproved species may result in toxic reactions. Do not exceed the levels of monensin recommended in the feeding directions, as reduced average daily gains may result. If feed refusals containing monensin are fed to other groups of cattle, the concentration of monensin in the refusals and amount of refusals fed should be taken into consideration to prevent monensin overdosing. Do not use in any finished feed (supplement, concentrate or complete feed) containing in excess of 2% bentonite. 

Zilpaterol hydrochloride is not for use in animals intended for breeding. Do not allow horses or other equines access to feed containing zilpaterol. Do not use in veal calves. Not to be fed to cattle in excess of 90 mg/head/day in complete feed. If pen consumption of complete feed exceeds 26.5 lb/head/day (90 percent dry matter basis), zilpaterol should not be fed in complete feed. Animals receiving zilpaterol hydrochloride may exhibit increased respiratory rate as well as elevated levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and creatine. 

Melengestrol acetate is not effective in steers and spayed heifers. Withdrawal periods of three to five days or more should be avoided to prevent the possibility that the heifers may come into estrus (heat) at loading time.

Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

Special considerations: 1) For liquid melengestrol acetate Type C feeds stored in recirculation tank systems, labeling indicates: “Recirculate immediately prior to use for no less than 10 minutes, moving not less than 1 percent of the tank contents from the bottom of the tank to the top. Recirculate daily, as directed in this paragraph even when the Type C feed is not used.” For liquid melengestrol Type C feeds stored in mechanical, air or other agitation-type tank systems: “Agitate immediately prior to use for not less than 10 minutes, creating a turbulence at the bottom of the tank that is visible at the top. Agitate daily, as directed in this paragraph, even when the Type C feed is not used.”

2) All labeling for Type C feeds containing zilpaterol hydrochloride provides the warning: The active ingredient in Zilmax® is zilpaterol hydrochloride, a beta2-adrenergic agonist. Not for use in humans. An anti-dust process has been applied to the drug product, Zilmax®, in order to greatly reduce inhalation risk. Extended handling tasks with the potential for dust generation require respiratory protection. Wear appropriate skin protection (e.g., impervious gloves, apron, overalls), if there is a potential for extended skin contact. Wear protective eyewear, if there is a potential for eye contact. If accidental eye contact occurs, immediately rinse with water and consult a physician.

Contraindications

Do not feed to laying chickens;. Feed continuously as the sole ration. Withdraw 5 days before slaughter. As sole source of organic arsenic. Feed must be used within 4 weeks of manufacture. As monensin sodium. Do not allow horses or other equines access to formulations containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by equines has been fatal. Do not feed to laying chickens. Do not feed to chickens over 16 weeks of age. Do not allow horses, other equines, mature turkeys, or guinea fowl access to feed containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses and guinea fowl has been fatal. Some strains of turkey coccidia may be monensin tolerant or resistant. Monensin may interfere with development of immunity to turkey coccidiosis. Not for replacement chickens intended to become broiler breeding chickens. Do not feed to laying chickens. Do not feed to chickens over 16 weeks of age. Do not allow horses, other equines, mature turkeys, or guinea fowl access to feed containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses and guinea fowl has been fatal. In the absence of coccidiosis in broiler chickens the use of monensin with no withdrawal period may limit feed intake resulting in reduced weight gain. Not for replacement chickens intended to become broiler breeding chickens.
