(d) Conditions of use—(1) Growing beef steers and heifers fed in confinement for slaughter—(i) Amounts and indications. (A) An implant containing 200 mg trenbolone acetate and 20 mg estradiol (one implant consisting of 10 pellets each containing 20 mg trenbolone acetate and 2 mg estradiol) for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency.

(B) An implant containing 200 mg trenbolone acetate, 20 mg estradiol, and 29 mg tylosin tartrate (one implant consisting of 10 pellets, each containing 20 mg trenbolone acetate and 2 mg estradiol, and 1 pellet containing 29 mg tylosin tartrate) for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency.

(C) An extended- and delayed-release implant containing 200 mg trenbolone acetate and 20 mg estradiol (1 implant consisting of 10 coated pellets, each containing 20 mg trenbolone acetate and 2 mg estradiol) for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency during 70 to 200 days after implantation.

(ii) Limitations. Implant pellets subcutaneously in ear only. Not approved for repeated implantation (reimplantation) with this or any other cattle ear implant in growing beef steers and heifers fed in confinement for slaughter. Do not use in beef calves less than 2 months of age, dairy calves, and veal calves because safety and effectiveness have not been evaluated. Do not use in dairy cows or in animals intended for subsequent breeding. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or calves born to these cows.
