Observational analysis evaluated growth and immune responses in beef steers, suggesting that combined interventions improve health outcomes.

Calves receiving trace mineral injections showed improved immune responses, enhancing overall calf health during weaning.
Body weight at weaning was higher for calves that received growth-promoting implants during the suckling phase.
Inflammatory reactions occurred with trace mineral injection, yet these did not negate the benefits of improved immune competence.
The combination of trace mineral injections and growth-promoting implants may optimize calf performance during stressful transitions.

Reis et al. (2025) studied this question.
