Encore® (estradiol) implants — Improved cattle weight gain with no impact on quality grade1
Encore is a sustained-release estrogen implant that is an ideal fit for lightweight steer calves and long-fed Holstein steer programs. Encore offers a long-acting, flexible, convenient implant option with the added benefits of a localized antibacterial coating on every dose.
LONG-LASTING — Encore lasts the entire feeding period — for up to 400 days.
SUSTAINED GROWTH — Encore improves weight gain and feed efficiency with no impact on quality grade, even if calves are exposed to heat stress during the early growth phases.1
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY — Because only one Encore implant is required, fewer times through the chute means less potential injury, lower labor costs, less disturbance of normal feeding behavior and lower stress.1
The labels contain complete use information, including cautions and warnings. Always read, understand and follow the labels and use directions.
Administer one dose in the ear subcutaneously according to label directions.
