Abstract

Synovex-S improves the average daily gain and carcass traits of steers and reduces losses under high feed price levels when compared to nonimplanted steers. High energy diets also influence average daily gain (ADG) favorably, but they increase the amount of fat and decrease the protein in carcass soft tissue in comparison to low energy diets.
