Growth Modifiers Two broad groups
–Agents that alter the digestive process
–Agents that modify the way the animal uses or partitions nutrients for growth

Growth modifiers General types
1. Antibiotic growth promoters2. Ionophores3. Implants4. -adrenergic agonist5. melengestrol acetate (MGA)
![Page 4: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Antibiotic growth promoters Any medicine that destroys or inhibits
bacteria and is administered at a low, subtherapeutic dose
Main antibiotics added to cattle feed– Chlortetracycline – Oxytetracycline– Tylosin
3 to 5 % improvement in gain and FE No withdraw if fed at subtherapeutic dose
![Page 5: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Antibiotics fed to finishing cattle for the control of liver abscesses
When fed high concentration rations, cattle that are borderline on subacute acidosis and have a few small liver abscesses gain faster and more efficiently than cattle that are not stressed and have no liver abscesses. However, managing to allow a slight amount of acidosis is difficult.

Feed enhancers
Ionophores– monensin (Rumensin)– lasaloacid (Bovatec)
Improve feed conversion– Increase efficiency of bacterial
protein and energy metabolism– Can also reduce incidence of
digestive upsets

VFA
Why dose changing the VFA profile affect performance:
– 63% of energy from acetic acid is used for maintenance and production
– 100% of energy from propionic acid is used for maintenance and production
– 75% of energy from butyric acid is used for maintenance and production
![Page 9: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Growth modifiers
Effective doseRumensin:
150 to 330 mg/hd/day
Bovatec:100 to 360 mg/hd/day
NO withdraw period The effects of ionophores and growth
promoting implants are additive
![Page 10: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Protein “sparing” Ionospheres decrease the breakdown
of feed protein and thus increase bypass protein that reaches the small intestine
This has little effect on performance of feedlot cattle on high-grain diets, but it is important in growing cattle on high-roughage diets
The protein sparing effect on performance is maximized when natural protein is fed below the animals requirement
![Page 11: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rumensin Can be fed with tylosin or MGAFinishing Cattle
– 1 to 3 % improvement in daily gain– 6 to 8 % improvement in feed efficiency
Growing Cattle– 5 to 15 % improvement in daily gain– 8 to 12 % improvement in feed efficiency
Growing cattle on pasture– Provide in supplement or free choice mineral– Can supplement 300-400 mg/hd every other
day
![Page 12: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bovatec Not cleared to be fed with antibiotics or MGA
Finishing cattle– 4 to 6 % improvement in daily gain– 6 to 8 % improvement in feed efficiency
Growing cattle– 5 to 15 % improvement in daily gain– 8 to 12 % improvement in feed efficiency
![Page 13: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Use of Ionophores in transition to finishing diet Cattle started on feed without
ionophores– more erratic feed intake patterns– more digestive problems
![Page 14: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Use of Ionophores in transition to finishing diet Rumensin
– Feeding 100 mg/hd/d during the step-up period and then switching to 200-300
improves daily gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency compared to starting cattle on 200 -300 mg/hd/d
Bovatec – The response to stepping-up Bovatec??
Less?…Bovatec does not reduce intake as much as Rumensin early in the feeding period
![Page 15: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Implants General types
1. Estrogen based (estradiol, zeranol, and progestrone)
2. Androgens (testosterone and trenbolone acetate or TBA)
3. Combination of estrogen and androgens
![Page 16: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Implants No withdraw time Cost usually between $1-3 Increase ADG 5 to 30% Increase feed conversion 6 to
16%

Implants
Mode of action:1. Exogenous estrogenic promotants are thought
to enhance protein gain through increased production of growth hormone, insulin and insulin-like growth factors.
2. Androgenic substances are thought to increase muscle growth by inhibiting the release of hormones (e.g. glucocorticoids) which cause degradation of muscle; this results in net shift in the partition of nutrients which is manifested by faster relative rates of muscle growth.

Implants and -adrenergic agonists
Mode of action: “partition” nutrients into the more desirable, higher valued components (i.e. muscle) and away from the less desirable components of the carcass (i.e. fat) causing an apparent shift in the lean tissue growth.
![Page 21: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
-adrenergic agonist
ractopamine hydrochloride (optaflexx)Feed during the last 28 to 42 days of the finishing period150-300 mg/hd/d and no withdraw
zilpaterol hydrochloride (zilmax) Feed during the last 20 to 40 days of the finishing period 60-90 mg/hd/d and has a 3 d withdraw
![Page 22: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

-adrenergic agonist Structurally similar to
catecholamines and other compounds that bind to the beta-adrenergic receptor
Agonist: Able to bind to receptor and elicit response
beta-agonists works via the β-Adrenergic Receptor
![Page 24: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“Repartitioning” effects are due to stimulation of lipolysis and changes in muscle protein metabolism
![Page 25: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why do we only feed - agonists at the end of finishing? Market cattle become less
efficient during the last month of the finishing period, because the animal is depositing less muscle and more fat.
Chronic exposure to a ligand can cause desensitization of the receptor due to uncoupling or down-regulation of receptor
![Page 26: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
-adrenergic agonist
Optaflexx:Rumensin may reduce feed
intake during adaptation period
![Page 27: Growth promotants and feed enhancers AnS 426](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165c0550346895dd8c331/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Melengestrol acetate (MGA) Similar to progesterone Suppresses estrus of intact
heifers Reduces injuries and energy loss
from riding and chasing– 3 to 7 % improves gain and feed
efficiency Effective dose 0.25-0.5 mg/hd/d Cost about 1¢/da
