Feed additives can effectively improve production levels, efficiency, and animal health. Feed additives are appropriate not only in cattle finishing operations, but also in cow-calf and stocker grazing operations.

Other feed additives suppress estrus, reduce liver abscesses, control foot rot problems, and control parasites.
