Two studies were carried out to determine the effects of spaying and implanting on the growth of heifers and compare Ralgro and Synovex-S for spayed heifers. In the first study, 121 crossbred heifers were randomly allocated to four groups: intact and no implant; intact and progesterone and estradiol benzoate (Synovex-S); spayed and no implant; and spayed and Synovex-S. The average daily gain (ADG) and body weight (BW) data were analyzed as a 2 x 2 factorial experiment with a pasture effect which was considered as a block. Based on ADG for days 0-120, the response to implanting was 17.6% for spayed heifers and 1.8% for intact heifers. In the second study, 31 spayed heifers implanted with zeranol (Ralgro) were compared with 30 spayed heifers implanted with Synovex-S. The data were analyzed as a one-way analysis of variance. The ADG for spayed heifers on Ralgro did not differ significantly (p>0.05) from those implanted with Synovex-S over a period of 92 days, suggesting that both implants produce similar growth responses.
开展了两项研究,以确定去势和植入对小母牛生长的影响,并比较Ralgro和Synovex-S对去势小母牛的作用。在第一项研究中,121头杂交小母牛被随机分为四组:未去势且未植入;未去势且植入孕酮和苯甲酸雌二醇(Synovex-S);去势且未植入;去势且植入Synovex-S。平均日增重(ADG)和体重(BW)数据作为一个2×2析因试验进行分析,其中将牧场效应视为一个区组。基于第0至120天的ADG,去势小母牛对植入的反应为17.6%,未去势小母牛为1.8%。在第二项研究中,将31头植入玉米赤霉醇(Ralgro)的去势小母牛与30头植入Synovex-S的去势小母牛进行了比较。数据作为单向方差分析进行分析。在92天的时间里,使用Ralgro的去势小母牛的ADG与植入Synovex-S的小母牛相比,差异不显著(p>0.05),这表明两种植入物产生的生长反应相似。
