The control group were fed a forage-based basal total mixed ration (TMR) and the OEO supplemented group were fed the TMR with Orego-Stim included to provide 3g/head/day. The cattle were weighed every four-six weeks throughout the four-and-a-half month study period. The addition of Orego-Stim to the ration resulted in a 5 percent improvement in daily liveweight gain and an additional 4.5kg of total liveweight gain throughout the study. The cattle fed rations supplemented with Orego-Stim had no notifiable health issues and the extra total liveweight gain resulted in more profit, with a return on investment of 2.5:1.
