Co-op Foundation Cattle Mineral-RUM is a highly palatable, excellent-quality mineral supplement. This supplement is intended for weaned cattle on pasture. This mineral includes Rumensin® to aid in the prevention of coccidiosis.
Feed at the rate of 100 g (3.53 oz) per head per day in not less than 1 lb of feed to provide 132.38 mg of Monensin per head per day. During the first five days of feeding, cattle should receive no more than 100 mg of Monensin (2.66 oz of Co-op Foundation Cattle Mineral-RUM) per head per day contained in not less than 1 lb of feed. Feed this product along with ample forage and/or other appropriate feedstuffs. Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
Warning: A withdrawal time has not been established for 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 amount of refusals fed should be taken into consideration to prevent Monensin overdosing. Do not feed to sheep or other copper-sensitive animals.
