Short summary
This study evaluated the impact of a feed additive containing Scutellaria baicalensis extract on beef cattle health status and performance.

Our results revealed that long-term dietary inclusion of S. baicalensis did not impair animals’ health status and performance, indicating no detrimental effect of the feed additive.
