TI - Preventive medication for feedlot replacement calves JF - California Agriculture JO - Calif Agr Y1 - 1976/02/01 VL - 30 IS - 2 SP - 18 EP - 20 PB - University of California Agriculture and Nature Resources SN - 0008-0845 UR - http://www.ucanr.edu/sites/calagjournal/archive/?article=ca.v030n02p18 AB - In three preventive medication experiments at the UC Imperial Valley Field Station, oxytetracycline was administered orally and intramuscularly to calves with varying success in reducing cost per pound of gain. The presence of OTC in feed rations and water can reduce feed intake; intramuscular injections are costly but do not affect weight gain negatively.
