Percent Choice by Implant ProgramRalgro Beef Cattle Implants

 

Initial Rider Rate by Implant Program
Ralgro Canada

Results
The percent of carcasses grading USDA quality grades Prime and Choice in the RALGRO/Revalor-S group was significantly higher than in either the RALGRO/Synovex-Plus group or the Synovex-Plus group.

The initial rider rate was almost twice as high in the Synovex-Plus Group as the other two groups (p<0.05)

Conclusion
RALGRO as the initial implant followed by either Synovex-Plus or Revalor-S reduced the number of riders and increased quality grade. The RALGRO/ Revalor-S program gave the greatest advantage.
