Comparison of the effects of monensin and decoquinate on feed intake and growth performance in dairy calves up to weaning age
Holstein heifer calves (88) received 50 mg kg −1 of feed containing either monensin or decoquinate for 42 d prior to weaning. There were no significant differences between treatments in feed intake, weight gain or height gain, suggesting that monensin and decoquinate have equivalent effects on these...

of feed containing either monensin or decoquinate for 42 d prior to weaning. There were no significant differences between treatments in feed intake, weight gain or height gain, suggesting that monensin and decoquinate have equivalent effects on these parameters in pre-weaned dairy calves. Key words: Monensin, decoquinate, dairy calves |
