In the face of losing this vital tool in beef production, tremendous focus has been placed on identifying an
alternative solution that does not sacrifice animal health or productivity. However, in order to competently identify an
alternative, a more comprehensive understanding of the microbiological variables influencing liver abscess rates should
be established. Therefore, the objective of this study was to utilize newly developed technologies to provide a more
comprehensive perspective on the microbiological differences of cattle supplemented with Tylosin versus those fed diets
without Tylosin supplementation. With this understanding, it was hypothesized that more targeted and effective Tylosin‐
alternatives can be developed and implemented in commercial beef production.
