New heifer implant, conference review present new options

A new heifer implant called Revalor-H (REV) has been introduced. REV contains a combination of 140 mg. trenbalone acetate and 11 mg. estradiol. Performance tests against melengestrol acetate (MGA), combined REV-MGA and Finnaplix plus MGA showed that cattle gain more rapidly when receiving REV alone or implants combined with MGA as opposed to cattle fed solely with MGA.
