The Rumensin Advantage

Rumensin is a proven management tool that optimizes your investment by improving cattle weight gain and feed efficiency, even as the quality of forage changes from year to year.1 Rumensin is approved for use in all production phases in the beef industry.

When you choose Rumensin, you can trust that it is better suited for feed mixing with2:

  • Better particle-size distribution
  • Less variability
  • Less dust

The findings from more than 400 Elanco research studies have made it possible for producers to include Rumensin in ever-changing food programs and management systems.
