r Feeding
uring The Conditioning Period
v~ou can. help your caitle adjust themselves to feed lot environment by
ibserving some of the following recommendations which are based on
ears of experience of many good steer feeders.
Start your steers on an antibiotic fortified feed THE FIRST DAY
the* arrive on the lot.
This feed should contain a higher protein content than grain, but
less than a regular supplement, and approximately 250 mg of a
broad spectrum antibiotic per pound (500 gms. per ton).
Feed no more than 2 pounds per head per day to beef calves. *
This will supply a daily antiobotic level of 500 mg. For yearling
cattle and older, the initial 2 pounds should be increased by l A
pound per day until about 4 pounds per day is being fed. This
supplies an antibiotic level of 1,000 mg per head per day.
3. Grain should be fed along with the antibiotic fortified feed in custom
ary quantities gradually building up to full feed of grain. Feed half
the recommended daily ration in the morning and half in the after
noon.
CAUTION; Do not feed any other protein supplement during th«
conditioning period.
If cattle are not "bunk broke", spreading some of the feed on the
ground or spreading some salt over the feed in the bunk may help in
getting the animals started. Mixing the antibiotic-fortified feed with
grain or roughage in the bunk is also a good practice.
If steers do not consume all the feed and grain, it is well to supply
the feed first and wait for it to be consumed before roughage is fed.
After 5 to 8 days on the program, change to GREEN PASTURES
STEER SUPPLEMENT No. 29 or No. 30 and feed according to recom
mendations of your Miller & Bushong service representative.
Bloat can be a problem. If a conditioning feed is used to control
bloat feed it at low levels - - - about one-third pound per head per day.
