1 THERE S MORE TO GAIN.

2 YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOUR GAINS. Your operation is all about gain. More average daily gain. Greater gains in feed efficiency. And tangible gains in cattle health. All of which help boost your bottom line. So why let limited feed additive choices or technologies hold you back? With Zoetis, you gain: More choices with the broadest range of feed additives on the market More efficiency to maximize performance from starting to finishing cattle More support with production specialists and nutritionists who can tailor solutions to your operation More profits by enhancing cattle health and maximizing feed efficiency and weight gains ACTOGAIN 45 (ractopamine hydrochloride) Feeding ACTOGAIN 45 in the last 28 to 42 days allows energy to be redirected to make more lean muscle and less fat, resulting in: Increased rate of weight gain Improved feed efficiency Increased carcass leanness* In a study with more than 1,200 steers, cattle fed ACTOGAIN in the last 34 days demonstrated a dramatic increase in feed efficiency and carcass weight gain versus other feed additive combinations Final Avg. Body Weight (lb.) 0.5 Cattle Avg. Daily Gain (lb./day) 6.2 Pounds of Feed per Pound of Gain 835 Hot Carcass Weight ACTOGAIN ACTOGAIN + RUMENSIN + TYLAN RUMENSIN + TYLAN *When fed as a complete feed

3 AUREOMYCIN TYPE A MEDICATED ARTICLE (chlortetracycline) AUREOMYCIN controls and treats bacterial pneumonia, controls anaplasmosis, treats bacterial enteritis and reduces the incidence of liver abscesses. A study examined the effect of feeding AUREOMYCIN in a five-day course of therapy for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia after arrival at the feedlot versus feeding a ration alone. 9 Cattle fed AUREOMYCIN demonstrated: Reduced morbidity, which decreased the need for use of antibiotics in the treatment of bovine respiratory disease. 9 Reduction of antibiotics, such as macrolides and fluoroquinolones that were deemed critically more important under FDA Guidance 152, is important in an overall responsible use plan. Chlortetracycline is considered in the lower category of medically important antibiotics. Two other studies examined the impact of chlortetracycline feeding upon resistance emergence in samples from the digestive tract under conditions and feeding periods common to current cattle husbandry practices. The presence of antibiotic-resistant genes did not differ between cattle treated with chlortetracycline and untreated cattle. 10,11 Caution: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. AUREO S 700 TYPE A MEDICATED ARTICLE (chlortetracycline/sulfamethazine) This 28-day therapy helps newly weaned, stressed or incoming cattle maintain weight gain in the face of respiratory disease. In a feedlot study, cattle fed AUREO S 700 during the first 28 days demonstrated statistically less morbidity (p = ), chronic illness (p = ) and a trend to less mortality (p = ) when compared with cattle receiving a conventional ration alone AUREO S 700 FEED ONLY 0 BRD Morbidity Rate 0.75 Total Chronics 0.2 Total Mortality Rate Caution: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this VFD drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. BOVATEC (lasalocid sodium) BOVATEC boosts feed efficiency, increases rate of weight gain and controls coccidiosis, but unlike Rumensin, it: Requires no step-up program Is approved for feeding in combination with AUREOMYCIN Won t compromise feed intake 3-6* A large pen study demonstrated that cattle fed BOVATEC showed equal feed efficiency to those fed Rumensin, but had significantly greater total gains (p > 0.05), average daily gains (ADG) (p > 0.05) and feed intake (p < 0.05), especially for starting cattle BOVATEC + AUREOMYCIN RUMENSIN + TYLAN **Carcass adjusted 790 Total Gain (lb.)** 3.75 ADG (lb.)** 18 Average Daily Feed Intake (lb. DM) When BOVATEC is fed in combination with AUREOMYCIN, a veterinary feed directive is required. *Research shows BOVATEC compromised feed intake compared to no ionophore, but BOVATEC still encourages a significantly higher feed intake than Rumensin.

4 CATTLYST (laidlomycin propionate potassium) Studies have demonstrated CATTLYST helps improve feed efficiency and delivers superior weight gains to Rumensin, 7,8 without the need for a step-up program. A pooled analysis showed that compared with cattle fed Rumensin and Tylan, those fed CATTLYST with AUREOMYCIN to help control BRD delivered: lb. live weight +8.7 lb. hot carcass weight Results from a meta-analysis showed that compared with steers fed Rumensin, with or without Tylan, those fed CATTLYST, with or without AUREOMYCIN, demonstrated: lb. hot carcass weight lb. ADG lb./day feed intake When CATTLYST is fed in combination with AUREOMYCIN, a veterinary feed directive is required. DECCOX (decoquinate) As a nonantibiotic feed additive, DECCOX helps prevent coccidiosis in cattle that often have compromised immune systems. In a field trial, compared with heifers fed their ration alone, those fed DECCOX demonstrated: 14 No signs of scouring vs. 70% of control calves with signs of scouring Because DECCOX helped reduce scouring, calves demonstrated: pounds of total gain lb./day LB. TOTAL GAIN MGA (melengestrol acetate) It s the only feed additive that suppresses heat in feedlot heifers while improving feed efficiency and increasing weight gain. In a study, heifers were fed MGA or their ration alone from Day 28 to slaughter. Those fed MGA demonstrated: lb./head +19 lb. carcass weight
