312 crossbred steers (411.4 ± 6.71 kg) were blocked by initial BW and randomly assigned to a treatment group. Treatments included a negative control group (no tylosin phosphate throughout the finishing period), a positive control group (tylosin phosphate fed continuously throughout the finishing period), and a group that received tylosin phosphate off-label by feeding the drug on a repeated intermittent basis (1 wk on, 2 wk off). Tylosin phosphate was fed at a rate of 9.9 mg/kg DM. The study was a randomized block design.

Fecal samples were collected from 8 randomly selected animals per pen, per sampling day (0, 20, and 118). Enterococcus-presumptive isolates from 2 animals per pen/day were randomly selected from each treatment group for MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight) analysis. Samples were cultured on non-selective, erythromycin-selective (8ug/ml) and tetracycline-selective (16ug/ml) media.
