Detailed explanation-1: -In between implanting animals, lay the implant gun in a tray on a disinfectant-soaked sponge. Grasp the ear with one hand while the other hand positions the instrument parallel to and nearly flush with the ear. Put the point of the needle against the ear with the beveled part facing outward.
Detailed explanation-2: -Implants are placed under the skin on the back of the ear. They exert a positive effect by increasing growth hormone and insulin, resulting in increased formation of muscle tissue and decreased fat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Implants. Implants are small pellets that contain a growth stimulant that is slowly released over a period of time. Implants work by increasing circulating levels of somatotropin and insulin-like growth-factor 1. This causes an increase in the secretion of growth hormone, which increases muscle growth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Synovex-S and Synovex-H are approved for cattle with minimum weights of 400 pounds. Company literature gives a summary of 18 college experiments that showed Synovex implants to increase daily gain by 12 to 14 percent and feed efficiency by 8 to 10 percent for steers fed growing and finishing rations.
