Abstract
Tylosin phosphate is a macrolide commonly used for the reduction and prevention of liver abscesses in feedlot cattle. As pressures to reduce antimicrobial use in livestock production rise, pressures to remove Tylosin from cattle feeding strategies continue to increase. This potential removal of Tylosin from cattle feeding could result in significant economic and food safety impacts on the beef industry. In light of this, a blinded, randomized, controlled field trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Tylosin alternatives on beef trim microbial populations and carcass characteristics from feedlot cattle.
