GREENFIELD, Ind.: January 22, 2007 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an expanded dose range approval for Rumensin for improvement in feed efficiency and coccidiosis prevention and control in feedlot cattle. The approval increases the upper end of the dose range to 40 grams per ton, on a 90 percent dry matter basis.
“This newly expanded dose range for Rumensin allows nutritionists and producers more flexibility as they design feeding programs that optimize cattle performance,“ says Todd Ripberger, marketing associate, Elanco Animal Health. “We recommend beef producers visit with their nutritionist to identify specific opportunities for fine-tuning the Rumensin dose to create added efficiencies in their operation.“
Today, cattle feeders rely on Rumensin - an ionophore used as a feed additive - from start to finish to prevent and control coccidiosis and to improve feed efficiency by providing more energy from the ration1. By controlling disease and increasing the efficiency of rumen fermentation, Rumensin reduces feed intake variation2 - thus improving rumen function and gastrointestinal health.
With the approval, the maximum dose increases to 480 mg/hd/d for feed efficiency for feedlot cattle. For the prevention and control of coccidiosis, the maximum Rumensin dose also increases to 480 mg/hd/d for feedlot cattle.
“Elanco pursued this claim based on requests from nutritionists and producers, who asked for additional flexibility in the dose range so they could have another tool to optimize cattle health and performance as well as profitability,“ says Ripberger.
Elanco will be seeking combination approvals with Tylan, Optaflexx and melengestrol acetate.
