Can induce equality
Some steers convert faster
• All steers are not born
equal --some are more ef-
ficient than others at con-
verting feed to beef and
reach market weight faster.
But studies at Agriculture
Canada's research station at
Melfort, Sask., show that
' equality can be induced by
using double the normal
growth hormone commonly
used to promote fast weight
gains in feedlot steers.
"It's a case of identifying
feedlot animals that are
gaining weight slowly," says
Stan Beacom, director of the
station. "Like all other
steers in the feedlot, that
animal will normally receive
one implant of a growth
stimulant. We have found
that a second implant will
bring the slow animals up to
par with the balance of the
animals."
And the result is more beef
produced by the farmer for
consumers.
In spring 1978, 96 feedlot
steers were finished using
two growth stimulants. Half
were given 'Ralgro', the
rest, 'Synovex S'. In the first
five weeks, the Synovex-
treated steers averaged 1.57
kg per day weight gain. The
Ralgro-treated steers
averaged 1.24 kg per day.'
"We then took the 24
Ralgrd'r' Viti 24 Synovex-
treated steel§ which were
the slowest gainers.
averaging .2 kg per head per
day less, and gave them a
second Synovex treatment at
six . and eight weeks
respectively. This second
implant increased the rate of
gain over a single implant by
.24 kg day for Synovex steers
and .32 kg day for Ralgro
steers," Dr. Beacom says.
"One result was that by
the end of the test the -double -
implanted steers averaged .1
kg per head per day more
than the single -implanted
steers."
The double implant also
affected grades and carcass
weights
Steers treated with a
single Synovex implant
dressed 53.8 percent, with 19
of 24 steers grading Al and
A2. Steers treated with a
single Ralgro implant
dressed at 54.0 percent with
Can train pigs
Training pigs to turn on
and shut off switches to
control the temperature of
their living quarters may
become a practical way of
lowering supplemental heat
costs.
"Tests done recently in the
United States show that pigs
like to be able to control their
environment, and can be
taught to do so," says Victor
Pouteaux, 'swine specialist
with Saskatchewan
Agriculture's animal in-
dustry branch.
Researchers at the
University of Illinois
designed a series of ex-
periments to find out what
temperatures pigs prefer
and whether pigs will try to
control their environment.
They used four week old pigs
providing their pens with
switches to regulate the heat
from heat lamps. The pigs
could operate switches with
their noses.
Regardless of whether
heat lamps were set to -stay
on for one, three or six
minute periods, once star-
ted, the pigs operated the
switch in an orderly way to
get short periods of sup-
plemental heat. The cooler
the room the more often they
activated the switch.
Researchers found that
demand for heat was greater
in afternoon (3.00 p.m.) than
it was in the morning (3.00
a.m. ). This daily demand
cycle remained constant
regardless of heat period
setting, room temperature
or lighting.
In another similar ex-
periment, pigs learned to
shut heat lamps off if the
temperature became too hot.
The same pattern of heat
demand was set with pigs
wanting more heat mid-
afternoon and less just
before dawn.

With so many challenges
facing agriculture this
should be an informative and
exciting Convention - a time
for farmers to influence
decisions which will affect
their future.

tember 6 at 8:30 p.m.
The meeting for West
Central Huron and South

21 of 24 steers grading Al and
A2.
But steers treated with the
two • Synovex implants
dressed 54.6 percent and the
Ralgro Synovex treated
steers dressed 54.3 percent.
In both categories, 21 of 24
animals graded Al and A2.
"More importantly for
producers is the, resulting
increase in revenue from the
better dressing per-
centages," Dr. Beacom
says.
The single implanted
animals"averaged $614.99 for
Synovex steers and $619.25
for Ralgro steers. But steers
receiving the two Synovex
treatments averaged $626.23
and the Ralgro Synovex
steers, $625.66.
"Who can beef about
something that benefits both
producer and consumer'
For the research, a second
implant markedly improves
the performance of slow -
gaining steers. It helps in-
crease beef production and
the returns to the producer
making the added in-
vestment for a second
treatment worthwhile." Dr
Beacom says.

May drop bike permits
Mayor Derry Boyle •
suggested this week that -
unless bicycle owners who
fail to buy a licence can be
charged, the practice of
selling licences should be
discontinued. •
He made the comment
after advising council that
one citizen had approached
him wondering why the
licences were not man-
datory.
Chief Ted Day agreed it
may be foolish.not to havea
penalty for those who fail_ to
buy tags for their bikes, but
-explained that the main
objective in issuing licences
was to have a registration
number in cases of theft.
He said registrations were
dropping each year and
suggested the matter be held
in abeyance until the fall
when the
government is
announce new
ding bicycles.
