Feedlot Cattle:

  1. For improved feed efficiency (cattle fed in confinement for slaughter).
  2. For the prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.

Dairy Cows:

  1. For increased milk production efficiency (production of marketable solids-corrected milk per unit of feed intake).

Growing cattle on pasture or in dry lot (stocker and feeder and dairy and beef replacement heifers):

  1. For increased rate of weight gain.
  2. For the prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.

Mature Reproducing Beef Cows:

  1. For improved feed efficiency when receiving supplemental feed.
  2. For the prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.

Goats: A. For the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria crandallis, Eimeria christenseni, and Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae
in goats maintained in confinement.

Calves (excluding veal calves):

  1. For the prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii.

CAUTION: Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses has been fatal. Monensin medicated cattle and goat feeds are safe for use in cattle and goats only. Consumption by unapproved species may result in toxic reactions. Feeding undiluted or mixing errors resulting in high concentrations of monensin has been fatal to cattle and could be fatal to goats. Must be thoroughly mixed in feeds before use. Do not exceed the levels of monensin recommended in the feeding directions as reduced average daily gains may result. Do not feed to lactating goats. 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. A withdrawal time has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

  • Reduced voluntary feed intake in dairy cows fed monensin. This reduction increase..
