Feed Supplement Containing Aureomycin and Vitamin B₁₂ for Dairy Calves^{1, 2,}

Vermont Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

The feeding of a supplement containing aureomycin and vitamin B₁₂ to calves receiving a liberal ration of milk, calf starter and good quality hay increased growth above that of the controls. No significant difference in utilization of feed nutrients was observed between the two groups. There was no evidence of scours in any of the calves throughout the duration of the trial. Growth of the supplemented calves was enhanced above that of the control animals even though scours, a conflicting factor in some other investigations, was absent.

¹ The antibiotic feed supplement was generously supplied by Lederle Laboratories. Pearl River, N. Y.
