Evaluation of Two Implants for Steers on Early-Intensively Grazed Tallgrass Native Range

Objective: To evaluate the effect of two implants that have different lengths of effec­tive use on stocker cattle gains within an intensive early double-stocked native tall­grass prairie grazing system

Study description: Stocker steers (n = 281) were implanted with Revalor-G (Merck Animal Health, Madison, NJ) or Synovex One Grass (Zoetis, Inc., Kalamazoo, MI) and grazed on tallgrass native range for 90 days during the summer. The steers were individually weighed, after an overnight shrink, on the day of implanting, at midpoint of grazing, and the end of the grazing period. Total gains and average daily gain were evaluated. Continue reading “Evaluation of Two Implants for Steers on Early-Intensively Grazed Tallgrass Native Range”
