Encore is a sustained-release estrogen implant that is an ideal fit for lightweight steer calves and long-fed Holstein steer programs. Encore offers a long-acting, flexible, convenient implant option with the added benefits of a localized antibacterial coating on every dose.
- Sustained growth and weight gain: Encore improves weight gain and feed efficiency with no impact on quality grade, even if calves are exposed to heat stress during the early growth phases.¹
- Long lasting: Encore lasts the entire feeding period up to 400 days.
- Improved efficiency: Because only one Encore implant is required, fewer times through the chute means less potential injury, lower labor costs, less disturbance of normal feeding behavior and lower stress.¹
