(1) Growing beef steers and heifers fed in confinement for slaughter —

(i) Amounts and indications for use.

(A) An implant containing 100 mg trenbolone acetate and 14 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section for increased rate of weight gain in growing beef steers fed in confinement for slaughter and for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency in growing beef heifers fed in confinement for slaughter. For increased rate of weight gain for up to 200 days in a reimplantation program where an implant as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section is the first implant and an implant as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) or (iiiii) or (a)(2)(ii) of this section is administered 60 to 120 days later.

(B) An implant containing 200 mg trenbolone acetate and 28 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iiiii) of this section for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency in growing beef steers fed in confinement for slaughter and for increased rate of weight gain in growing beef heifers fed in confinement for slaughter. For increased rate of weight gain for up to 200 days in a reimplantation program where an implant as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section is the first implant and an implant as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iiiii) of this section is administered 60 to 120 days later.

(C) An extended-release implant containing 150 mg trenbolone acetate and 21 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section for increased rate of weight gain for up to 200 days.

(D) An extended-release implant containing 200 mg trenbolone acetate and 28 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency for up to 200 days. For increased rate of weight gain for up to 200 days in a reimplantation program where an implant as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section is the first implant and an implant as described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section is administered 60 to 120 days later.

(ii) Limitations. Implant pellets subcutaneously in ear only. Other than as described on the labeling, this implant is not approved for repeated implantation (reimplantation) with any other cattle ear implant in growing beef steers and heifers fed in confinement for slaughter as safety and effectiveness have not been evaluated. Do not use in beef calves less than 2 months of age, dairy calves, and veal calves because effectiveness and safety have not been established. A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. 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 in calves born to these cows. The extended-release implant described in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section, used as described in paragraph (d)(1)(i)(C) of this section, is not approved for repeated implantation (reimplantation) with this or any other cattle ear implant.

(2) Growing beef steers and heifers on pasture (stocker, feeder, and slaughter) —

(i) Amounts and indications for use. An extended-release implant containing 150 mg trenbolone acetate and 21 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section for increased rate of weight gain for up to 200 days.

(ii) Limitations. Implant pellets subcutaneously in ear only. Not approved for repeated implantation (reimplantation) with this or any other cattle ear implant. Safety and effectiveness following reimplantation have not been evaluated. Do not use in beef calves less than 2 months of age, dairy calves, and veal calves because effectiveness and safety have not been established. A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. 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 in calves born to these cows.

(3) Growing beef steers and heifers in a dry lot —

(i) Amount and indications for use.

(A) An implant containing 50 mg trenbolone acetate and 7 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section for increased rate of weight gain in growing beef steers and heifers in a dry lot.

(B) An implant containing 100 mg trenbolone acetate and 14 mg estradiol benzoate as described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section for increased rate of weight gain in growing beef steers and heifers in a dry lot.

(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 in a dry lot. Safety and effectiveness following reimplantation have not been evaluated.
