40 years of Elanco's Compudose

Compudose™

Compudose 100, 200 and 400 implants contain oestradiol 17ß, a naturally occurring oestrogen to maximise growth rates and production efficiency in beef cattle over a 100, 200 or 400-day payout period, respectively. Compudose increases weight gain in pastured steers, spayed heifers and vealer heifers, and improves feed efficiency and weight gain in lot fed steers and spayed heifers.

Key Product Benefits: 

  • Proven to maximise growth rates and production efficiency in beef cattle
  • Provides a 15.8% average liveweight gain advantage over implant-free cattle1
  • Offers flexibility to turn off cattle sooner, or heavier
  • Compudose 400 is the only implant with a 400-day payout to work year-round

Compudose™ Important Information

Compudose contains a naturally occurring hormone oestradiol 17ß, which is found in all mammals. Compudose stimulates the pituitary gland resulting in the release of the animal’s own natural growth hormone.

Dosage and Administration

Insert one implant under the skin on the back side of the middle 1/3 of the ear per animal. Use a Compudose implanter only. Do not penetrate cartilage. To help avoid abscess formation at the implant site, thoroughly clean and disinfect the surface of the ear before implantation. Implanted cattle must be individually identified with an approved ear punch mark. Refer to label for full directions.
