Abstract

Growth promoting implants approved for use in the United States are extremely safe not only for the cattle, but for the producers who use the products and for the consumers who consume the beef produced from implanted cattle. Implant programs should be designed to obtain an optimum growth and efficiency response while minimizing expression of live animal side effects and adverse effects on carcass traits. Implant strategies which match implant dose or potency to animal age, weight, and/or production desired are recommended.
