Component™ TE-200 Growth & Finishing Implants for Heifers & Steers
Component™ TE-200 Growth & Finishing Implants for Heifers & Steers
Component TE-200 contains oestrogenic and androgenic compounds and is recommended for lotfed cattle (>80 days on feed), particularly early-maturing breeds with greater fat cover. When used in combination, these compounds exert an additive effect, giving an increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency in heifers and steers. The increase in bodyweight is predominantly lean meat and not fat.
Key Product Benefits:
- Maximize rate of weight gain & improve feed efficiency in heifers & steers
- Offers flexibility to turn off cattle sooner, or heavier
- Maximise profits through optimizing productivity
- Optimise production efficiency, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of beef produced1,2
