(zeranol 36mg)
For more than three decades, Ralgro® has been helping cow-calf producers increase productivity by increasing the rate of weight gain and improving feed conversion in suckling and weaned beef calves, feedlot steers and heifers, and in replacement heifers from thirty days of age to weaning.
Studies have shown that there are several important factors to consider when determining the appropriate implant strategy for your cattle. These factors include targeted finish weight, body condition, energy of available feed ration and frame size.
In 23 field studies involving 2,358 calves, calves implanted with Ralgro® posted an average weaning weight gain of 310 lb, compared to non-implanted calves, whose average weaning weight gain was 287 lb. That represents:
DESCRIPTION
Ralgro® is an implant containing 36 mg of zeranol. Each implant consists of three pellets.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Single implantation: For increased rate of weight gain and for improved feed conversion
of suckling and weaned beef cattle, growing beef cattle, feedlot steers, feedlot heifers, and replacement
heifers between 30 days of age and weaning.
Sequential (or repeated) implantation: for increased weight gain and improved feed
conversion of suckling and weaned beef calves, growing beef cattle, feedlot steers, replacement heifers
between 30 days of age and weaning, and for increased weight gain in feedlot heifers. Implanting may be
repeated as often as good husbandry practice allows throughout the growing and finishing phases of the
animal's life.
CAUTIONS
Replacement heifers should not be implanted before 30 days of age or after weaning. Transitory signs, such
as teat enlargement, may be observed. Do not use in breeding bulls of any age.
