Co-op Balancer Cattle Mineral-RUM is formulated for mixing with other feedstuffs to be fed to weaned cattle on pasture. This mineral includes Rumensin® to aid in the prevention of coccidiosis.
Co-op Balancer Cattle Mineral-RUM is designed to be mixed with grains, grain by-products or other feedstuffs. Mix 50 lb of Co-op Balancer Cattle Mineral-RUM with 1,950 lb of appropriate feedstuffs to create 2,000 lb of fortified feed. Feed the resulting mix continuously at the rate of 3.33 to 32.00 lb per head per day to provide 50 to 480 mg of Monensin per head per day along with good-quality pasture or other long-stemmed forage and clean, fresh water.
Warning: A withdrawal time has not been established in pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
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. Do not feed undiluted. Feeding undiluted or mixing errors resulting in high concentrations of Monensin has been fatal to cattle and could be fatal to goats. 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 the amount of refusals fed should be taken into consideration to prevent Monensin overdosing. This product is designed solely as a mixing mineral and is not suitable as a mineral supplement to cattle on pasture. Do not feed to sheep or other copper-sensitive animals.
