How Sodium Butyrate Compares to Monensin

Adisseo Season 1 Episode 9

Researchers compared the effects of supplementing sodium butyrate, monensin, or both to post-weaned heifers. The addition of either additive conferred positive effects in terms of greater dry matter intake, body weights and lower coccidia oocysts compared to the use of no additive.

Based on 2021 American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) abstract:
