Effect of using one versus two growth promoting implants on the gains of nursing calves

Corah, L.R.; McKee, M.; Schalles, R.R.
One hundred twenty-seven suckling calves were allotted to one of

three treatments:

(1) Control group - not implanted

(2) Implanted (Ralgro) once during sucking period

(3) Implanted (Ralgro) twice during sucking period - at average

age of 44 days and 70 days later

Using one Ralgro implant improved the weight at weaning by 8.4 pounds,

while re-implanting, thus utilizing two implants during the suckling

phase, resulted in an extra 43.0 pounds.
