Combination and method for increasing feed utilization efficiency in ruminants

摘要

Compositions of polyether antibiotic rumen propionate enhancers and glycopeptide rumen propionate enhancers are effective in increasing the efficiency of feed utilization in ruminants. A method for increasing rumen propionate production in ruminants having a developed rumen function is provided. Such increase in rumen propionate production is synonymous with increased efficiency of feed utilization.
