Determining Implant Strategies
Goals
  • Increased ADG, decreased days
  • Decreased F/G
  • Carcass Effects
    + Increased visual muscling, rib eye area
    - Fat cover, tenderness
  • Ease of administration
  • Marketing goals- Time of year, etc.
  • Behavioural Considerations
Factors Affecting Response to Implants
  • Genetic capability to deposit muscle
  • Energy intake in excess of maintenance
    - Particularly important with TBAs
  • Days on feed
  • Maturity of the cattle - i.e. Calves vs. Yearlings
  • Packer specifications - i.e. Grade and yield specs on cattle going to the USA
  • Grading considerations
  • Season of the year
  • Sex of the cattle - i.e. Steers vs. Heifers
  • Target Market - i.e. Canada or the USA
  • Management programs such as MGA usage or Branded Beef Programs
  • Desired cattle performance - Do you want them to grow for a targeted market based on a contract or the like and therefore desire a targeted gain or FCR
  • Feed price
