Implants and Additives Galen Erickson
Partially missing implant • Improper Location • Crushed Implants Implanting Defects
Abscess • Walled-off Implanting Defects
Implants and Body Composition • Implants increase protein deposition. • Implants cause a upward shift in the growth curve. • The shift in the growth curve influences body composition at a given weight.
Implants Change the Growth Curve 28.6% EBF Low Choice
Relationship of empty body fat to Quality Grade(total of 1,355 animals)

Rumensin Performance Four Trial Summary (2,904 Steers) Source: Laudert, 1990 Cooper slides, 2004
Rumensin Performance • Original research showed 10% improvement in feed conversion • Recent research shows 3-4% improvement • Difference likely due to ration energy level • Summary • Direct effect on performance is lower in today’s rations • Greater improvement with Deads-In Cooper slides, 2004
Rumensin Digestive Deads • Dr. Baxter Black, 1980 • Digestive deaths decreased by 2/3rds after inclusion of Rumensin Cooper slides, 2004

Rumensin Acidosis Rumensin reduces acidosis and bloat • Directly • ↓ lactate production • ↑ lactate utilization • ↓ rumen fluid viscosity • Indirectly • ↓ day-to-day intake variation • Improved feeding behavior Cooper slides, 2004

Rumensin conclusions Acidosis and Bloat • Feed more roughage • Level • Type • Limit extensively processed grains • High moisture corn • Steam-flaked corn • Optimize byproduct level • Digestible fiber replacing starch • Corn oil increases energy content • Provides small amount of lactate Cooper slides, 2004

Optaflexx issues Benefits Increased weight (profitable) Improved efficiency late in feeding period Little to no effect on carcass traits Approved for use with Rum/Tylan
My thoughts Increases Decreases • Weight • N retention late • REA • Efficiency • YG • No effect (<200 mg) • Marbling • Tenderness With trained panels, > 200 mg was not as positive on carcass quality Very positive on most traits, and is safe Concern with sorting and the 28-42 d window, may create challenges Fun to test over the next few years
