Abstract
Combinations of thiopeptin and rumensin are shown to synergistically increase the feed efficiency of ruminant animals. The combination is orally administered to ruminant animals in the feed of the ruminanat or in an orally administered unit dosage form. The combination of thiopeptin and rumensin has a greater effect than the control animals given no medication, and greater than animals given either drug alone.
