Abstract

Four studies indicate that feeding monensin has minimal, if any, effect on the carcass measurements or the proportions of fat, lean and bone in the edible portion of the carcass. Monensin had no effect upon the moisture, fat and protein of rib eye muscle. Since cattle fed monensin consumed less feed, the percentage of dietary energy and protein retained in the carcass was increased.
