Abstract
ABSTRACTTrials involving a total of 401 steers were carried out from 1974 to 1976 to determine the effect of implantation with zeranol on the performance of fattening steers under grazing and feedlot conditions i n Botswana.Over a 180-day grazing period in 1974, 1975 and 1976 there was a significant improvement in live-weight gain of 11·9, 24·5 and 12·3% i n implanted steers over control steers. Under feedlot conditions there was a mean improvement in live-weight gain of implanted steers over control steers of 17·9% over an average stay in the feedlot of 95 days.
