Abstract
A process for promoting growth and feed efficiency in food producing mammals is provided by administering to such mammals, growth promoting amounts of a zinc complex of a polyether antibiotic selected from the group consisting of monensin, nigericin, salinomycin, narasin, noborotomycin A and B, SY-1, grisorixin, X-206, lonomycin, laidlomycin, mutalomycin, alborixin, lasalocid and lysocellin. Zinc complexes of this type are prepared by adding soluble zinc salt to a fermentation beer containing a polyether antibiotic to thereby form an insoluble, recoverable biomass containing the desired growth-promoting zinc complex for use in the process herein.
