Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates that growth implants improve antibody titers and weight gain in suckling beef calves, suggesting enhanced immunity alongside growth.

Key Points

Growth implants containing trenbolone acetate and estradiol benzoate enhanced antibody titers against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis in suckling beef calves.
Serum antibody titers against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis rose significantly (P = 0.01), and weaning daily gain increased with trenbolone acetate implants.
In a randomized complete block design with 90 calves, implants increased insulin-like growth factor, demonstrating improved pre-weaning immunity and performance.
