This meta-analysis investigated the impacts of monensin on performance of beef cows and developing replacement heifers. The replacement heifer analysis was conducted using data from 18 different peer-reviewed publications and experiment station reports. The mature cow analysis included 21 different publications and experiment station reports. The metaphor package (version 2.4-0; Viechtbauer, 2010) for R (version 4.0.3; www.r-project.org) was used to determine the overall effect size of monensin compared to a negative control. Each study\u2019s n, means, and SEM or P value was used to calculate the mean difference and estimate of within study variance for responses of interest. In replacement heifers, monensin treatment increased (P &amp;lt; 0.01); average daily gain (+0.03 \u00b1 0.008 kg\/d), feed efficiency (+0.013 \u00b1 0.008 gain:feed), and percentage cycling before the breeding season (+15.9 \u00b1 5.13%); while decreasing (P &amp;lt; 0.01): dry matter intake (0.293 \u00b1 0.081 kg), and age at puberty (-8.9 \u00b1 1.48 d). Six studies reporting ad libitum forage intake for mature cows showed decreased (P = 0.008) DMI by 0.85 \u00b1 0.32 kg\/d. Six studies reported milk yield and revealed an increase (P = 0.01) of 0.39 \u00b1 0.15 kg\/d when cows were supplemented with monensin. Monensin supplementation resulted in a reduction (P = 0.02) in days to first estrus by 18 \u00b1 8.2 d and percentage of cows exhibiting estrus prior to the breeding season was increased by 19 \u00b1 8% (P = 0.03). There were no differences in artificial insemination pregnancy nor total pregnancy for either the heifer or mature cow data sets. This analysis indicates potential for use of monensin in heifer development and beef cow production systems. Further research is needed to elucidate the effects on reproductive efficiency, DMI, milk production, weight, and body composition change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txac086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,22]],"date-time":"2022-06-22T17:16:35Z","timestamp":1655918195000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Meta-analysis of the effects of monensin on performance of beef replacement heifers and beef cows"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5781-1168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shane","family":"Gadberry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service , Little Rock, AR 74078 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6494-9563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul","family":"Beck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Food Sciences, Oklahoma State University Stillwater , OK 74048 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mikayla","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Food Sciences, Oklahoma State University Stillwater , OK 74048 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Elanco Animal Health , Greenfield, IN 74078 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Linneen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Elanco Animal Health , Greenfield, IN 74078 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1739-6238","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Lalman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Food Sciences, Oklahoma State University Stillwater , OK 74048 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022071814012192700_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5737","DOI":"10.1021\/ja00998a062","article-title":"Structure of monensic acid, a new biologically active compound","volume":"89","author":"Agtarap","year":"1967","journal-title":"J.
