Abstract
Antibiotic rumen modifiers (ARMs) have been routinely included in feedlot rations to improve rumen function and nitrogen retention (Elsasser 1984), but, with the exception of laidlomycin, no new ARMs are being registered. Alternative management strategies for existing ARMs in feedlot finisher rations have been studied to improve productivity and efficiency. Advantages in average daily gain (ADG) and gain to feed of 4.8% and 2.7%, respectively, have been found in Canada with the daily rotation of monensin and lasalocid compared to monensin alone in steers on finisher rations (Shreck et al. 2016). However, few studies have examined the effect of ARM strategies from feedlot arrival to exit, or compared individual ARM with multiple ARMs in daily rotation over the full feeding period. This study sought to quantify how changes in ARM management might deliver growth, and carcass advantages to the Australian feedlot industry.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
