ABSTRACT:
In a feedlot operation wherein ruminant animals, such as cattle or sheep, are fed ad libitum a high-energy ration or feed, lactic acidosis is greatly reduced or eliminated and weight gain and feed conversion are increased by administering to the animal the microorganism Peptococcus asaccharolyticus upon introduction of the animal to the feedlot. The microorganism is conveniently administered to the animal, either by direct injection or introduction into the rumen via a needle or stomach tube or in admixture with the feed or ration. The microorganism is also useful in the treatment of cattle (calves) and sheep ill with lactic acidosis.
