Feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride is associated with decreased dry matter intake shortly after initiation of feeding dependent on season and previous intake1

Abstract: A database of daily feed deliveries for steers and heifers fed at 3 commercial feedyards in Kansas between January 1, 2010, and January 31, 2012 (n = 1,515 pens), was used to investigate the prevalence and extent of changes in DMI after initiation of feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZIL) at 8.3 mg/kg (DM) for 20 d. Season affected the percentage of pens experiencing a decrease in DMI post-ZIL (P < 0.01), but there were significant (P < 0.01) season × sex, season × feedyard, season × pre-ZIL DMI, season × days… Show more

“…Some studies reported no change in DMI when animals are fed with ZH (ELAM et al, 2009;ROBLES-ESTRADA et al, 2009;PARR et al, 2011), while others have reported a decrease in DMI after administration of ZH (REINHARDT et al, 2014;. In the present study heifers fed ZH had similar DMI to control heifers, which, associated with the greater ADG, resulted in improved feed efficiency.…”

“…Collectively, findings from previous research combined with the DMI fluctuations observed in concert with changes in THI on the current study further support the use of tools such as THI and the Heat Load Index (Gaughan et al, 2008) to predict heat periods of heat stress. Reinhardt et al (2014) analyzed feed intakes from more than 1,500 pens from 3 different commercial Kansas feedlots and reported reduced DMI shortly after initiation of ZIL administration, especially during summer months. The findings of the current study support this, as DMI was lower and the decrease in DMI was greater in unshaded compared to shaded cattle when pooled across d 2 through 9 (P < 0.01; Fig.…”

“…Still, our findings suggest shade mitigated the decrease in DMI after ZIL administration, which warrants further discussion. Although the exact mechanism for the decrease in DMI after commencement of ZIL is not completely understood, Reinhardt et al (2014) proposed βAAinduced metabolic alterations leading to increased glycogenolysis and lactate production, hepatic preference of propionate from grain-fed diets as the substrate for gluconeogenesis, and consequent build-up of lactate concentrations resulting in secondary intake depression as one possible cause. Moreover, the original Zilmax label called for inclusion based on g/ton only, resulting in DMI as the lone determinant of actual amount of ZIL consumed.…”
