The Subcutaneous Implantation of Stilbestrol in Fattening Bulls and Steers

Earle W. Klosterman, V. R. Cahill, L. E. Kunkle and A. L. Moxon

Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station1

Abstract

In dry lot fattening trials bulls gained more economically and significantly faster than steers. The subcutaneous implantation of stilbestrol significantly increased the rate of gain, this increase being greater in steers than in bulls. Stilbestrol treatment significantly increased the grade of bull carcasses but reduced slightly the grade of steer carcasses. There appeared to be no advantage in feeding bulls for a period, castrating, and finishing as steers.
