Comparison of Synovex-S and STEER-oid implants for feedlot steers

Lee, B.; Laudert, S.
Synovex-S and STEER-oid were compared in a 133-day finishing trial to

evaluate their effects on growth and carcass traits of yearling steers. No

significant differences in average daily gain, feed intake, feed to gain ratio,

carcass weight, ribeye area, fat thickness, quality grade or yield grade were

detected between the two implants at the end of the trial. However, significant

differences in feed efficiency were detected during days 0-35 and 36-63, possibly

due to different release rates of the implants.
