Sodium butyrate and monensin supplementation to postweaning heifer diets

Dr. Phil Cardoso talks with Dr. Peter Erickson and Tess Stahl of the University of New Hampshire about the effects of feeding diets containing supplementary sodium butyrate and monensin on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and health in postweaned heifers.
