No statistical differences were detected in
feedlot performance or carcass traits between
control culled beef cows and those that were treated with melengesterol acetate (MGA®)
and/or Implus-H® when fed in a feedyard for
56 days before slaughter. All groups
performed well, indicating that this practice may be used to improve the market value of culled cows. Cow health during the feeding
period is a major concern.
