Has anyone used Zilmax on their steers or market heifers? Does it work better than optaflexx for adding muscle and weight gain that last few weeks? We have used optaflexx with good results as long as the steer was very sound and not real heavy muscled before. Im guessing a person would have to watch for overdoing it on a steer on Zilmaxx just like optaflexx correct?

ZILMAX PRICING
The January 2011 Intervet Suggested Retail Price for Zilmax® feed additive is $7,046.00 per 10 kg bag based on the select carcass price of $140.92.

I would say it is little more pricey than optaflexx. You also have to have a license to purchase it.

There is a new product that just came out called Showmaxx. It is approved for use in show market animals to be fed the last 21 days before harvest.  It contains Zilmax as it's base ingredient. It will be handled by Sullivan's. And yes, it is great.  Check it out at your Sullivan dealer.
