Published on: 5/15/2025Key Takeaways
- Cattle implants have supported producers and environmental sustainability for more than 50 years, helping reduce resource use while improving beef production efficiency.
- Every wheel of Ralgro (24 doses) can conserve feed, water, crop land, and pasture, demonstrating how effective implant programs meaningfully reduce inputs.
- Implants can increase calf weaning by up to 35 pounds, with formulations available for calves, growers, and feedlot cattle to support added gain throughout each production stage.
For more than 50 years, cattle implants have benefited both producers and the environment.
By developing an effective cattle implant program, farmers and ranchers play an important role in beef production and conservation efforts. With every wheel of Ralgro implants administered (24 doses), producers are raising sustainable beef, and by doing so they are conserving land and water resources by as much as:
-
- 3,684 pounds of feed
- .6 acres of crop land
- 22,000 gallons of water
- 3.57 acres of pasture
With an effective implant program, producers are able to use fewer resources and raise more beef. By implanting, cattlemen can increase calf weaning weights up to 35 pounds. The opportunity for added gain continues, with implant formulations tailored to each segment of the industry, from calf to feedlot and grower cattle.
