Abstract

Two field trials were conducted to compare Ralgro and Compudose for suckling steer calves. Ralgro, Ralgro re-implanted, and Compudose increased gain over controls 2.5. 5.9, and 1.5%, respectively, with only the increase from Ralgro re-implanted being signficicant (P<.05). Ralgro reimplanted steers gained more than Compudose steers (P<.05).
