Monensin (antiparasitic)

Monovet 90 feed mix (monensin) is a feed additive used for the control of parasitic infections in livestock.

Cattle

Feed Efficiency: Improved feed efficiency in beef cattle (steers and heifers) fed in confinement. and in mature reproducing beef cows.
Coccidiosis Control: Prevention and control of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii in beef and dairy cattle, including calves over 2 months of age.
Weight Gain: Increased rate of weight gain in growing cattle on pasture (slaughter, stocker, and feeder cattle) and in replacement beef and dairy heifers.
Milk Production: Increased milk production efficiency in dairy cows (marketable solids-corrected milk per unit of feed intake).
Body Condition: Reduction of milk fat percentage and minimizing loss of body condition during lactation in dairy cows.

Goats

Coccidiosis Prevention: Prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria crandallis, E. christenseni, and E. ninakohlyakimovae.

Poultry

Coccidiostat: Used as a coccidiostat for the prevention of coccidiosis in broiler chickens.

Thorough Mixing: Incorporate Monovet into the feed, ensuring uniform distribution for continuous feeding.
Total Mixed Ration (TMR): For dairy cows, it’s mixed into their daily feed, providing a set amount (e.g., 11-22 g/ton).
Type C Medicated Feed: For cattle, it can be blended into a Type C feed (a complete feed) or a Type B concentrate, then fed as a portion of the diet, sometimes mixed with grain or roughage.
Component Feeding: For poultry (broilers/turkeys), it’s mixed into their sole ration at specific concentrations (e.g., 100 mg/kg).
Continuous Feeding: Must be fed daily during the treatment period.
Precise Dosing: Exact levels (grams per ton of feed or mg/lb body weight) are crucial; overfeeding can reduce gains or be toxic.
Species Specific: Monovet is for cattle, goats, and poultry. It is highly toxic and often fatal to horses and other equines.
