Fecal Elimination of Hormones in Sheep and Cattle Treated with Synthetic Estrogens^{1, 2,}

Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station³

Abstract

Estrogens were found in the feces of sheep treated with diethylstilbestrol subcutaneously and dienestrol orally as well as in the feces of cattle treated orally with diethylstilbestrol, dienestrol and hexestrol.

Under the conditions of this experiment, gilts following hormone treated cattle were not impaired reproductively. On the basis of testicular response of boars there was a suppression of pituitary gonadotrophic hormone elaboration while the hogs were following the cattle.
