Experior (lubabegron Type A medicated article) is an important new tool that enables beef producers to care for the environment and their cattle. This is increasingly important as beef producers manage a complex business while trying to meet customer expectations. Experior is approved for the reduction of ammonia gas emissions per pound of live weight and hot carcass weight in beef steers and heifers fed in confinement for slaughter during the last 14 to 91 days on feed.

Experior helps support the beef industry’s environmental stewardship efforts. Every day, feedlot operators must balance expectations of increasing environmental stewardship, while managing a complex business. Experior creates the freedom and flexibility to do both through the reduction of ammonia gas emissions from cattle. Clinical studies suggest that cattle fed Experior at 5 g/ton for 91 days emit approximately 16% less ammonia per pound of hot carcass weight compared to animals not fed Experior.²

Experior is a beta-adrenergic agonist/antagonist that is thought to act by increasing nitrogen (amino acid) uptake and the amount of nitrogen retained in the carcass as muscle protein, thereby reducing the amount of urea excreted in manure (manure is considered the urine and feces combined). The reduction in excreted urea from the animal results in a reduction in ammonia gas emissions to the environment.
