Evaluation of Implants, Clover, and Fescue Variety on Stocker Steers – Year 3

Sixty-four growing steers were used in a split-plot experiment, where the whole plot was pasture, and implant level. Whole treatment 4 × 2 factorial with four levels of fescue (High Endophyte, Low Novel, or Endophyte Free) two legume (Legumes No Legumes). The included (No Implant, Synovex One Grass, Revalor-G, Ralgro). Data collected weights ultrasound carcass characteristics when coming off grass. Steers on High had lower average daily gain (ADG) final weight than novel endophyte, those grazing pastures that low endophyte endophyte-free intermediate. There no difference cattle gains measurements based addition legumes type received. drought restricted days grass potentially reduced positive effects implants.
