Co-op 60% Beef Concentrate Ma-RUM is a concentrate with protein supplements and vitamin/mineral fortifications for use with on-farm grains and feedstuffs. When mixed with on-farm grain, this feed is formulated for enhanced feed efficiency in growing cattle on pasture or in dry lot. It also includes Rumensin® for the prevention of coccidiosis. Be sure adequate pasture is available.
Co-op 60% Beef Concentrate-RUM is to be fed at a rate to provide 50 to 200 mg of Monensin per head per day. During the first 5 days of feeding, cattle should receive 50 to 100 mg of Monensin per head per day. The daily allowance of Monensin must be provided in not less than 1 lb of feed. Use the mixing chart below to blend Co-op 60% Beef Concentrate-RUM with corn.
Caution: Do not allow horses or other equines access to feed containing Monensin. Ingestion of Monensin by equines has been fatal. Monensin-medicated cattle feeds are safe for use in cattle only. Consumption by unapproved species may result in toxic reactions. Feeding undiluted or mixing errors resulting in high concentrations of Monensin could be fatal to cattle. Must be thoroughly mixed in feeds before use. Do not feed undiluted. 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. A withdrawal time has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. USE AS DIRECTED.
