Effects of Low Level Implantation of Stilbestrol in Steers on Pasture

Clayton C. O'Mary, A. E. Cullison

Abstract

Two experiments involving 36 steers were conducted to determine the effects of stilbestrol implanted in steers on pasture. In experiment I Hereford steers implanted with 24 mg. of stilbestrol per head had a significant increase in gain of .69 lb. per steer daily over the controls. In experiment II Angus and Hereford steers treated the same as in experiment I had an average increase in daily gain of .58 lb. over the controls. This difference was highly significant.
