Influence of melengesterol acetate (MGA®) and Implus-H® implants on rate of gain, feed efficiency, and carcass characteristics of culled beef cows fed a high concentrate ration

Spire, M.F.; Galland, J.C.; Unruh, John A.; Drouillard, James S.
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.
