Abstract
Aureomycin increased the growth rate and improved the efficiency of feed utilization of young calves until eight weeks of age. A 7-day collection period at the end of the 8-week growth period showed practically no differences in the digestibility of dry matter, ash, protein, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract or fat when aureomycin was included in the ration.
