PG. 30 THE RURAL VOICE, DECEMBER 1983 WHAT'S NEW? Controlled -release Elanco, Division Eli Lilly Canada In., has introduced a new, controlled - release implant for steers, that im- proves average daily gain and feed ef- ficiency; and works two to three times longer than conventional products, eliminating the need to reimplant. Compudose, the name suggesting "computed dosage," provides for gradual release of a natural steroid, estradiol-17B, for at least 200 days. Compudose is already in use in the United States and other major beef producing countries. Field trials con- ducted in Canada report an average daily gain improvement over non - implanted steers of 12.7 per cent and an improvement in feed efficiency of 6.4 per cent. Extensive field testing in the U.S. resulted in an improvement of 17.4 per cent in average daily gain and 7.4 per cent in feed efficiency over non -implanted steers. ❑ New watering units A new line of livestock watering units was introduced at the interna- tional Plowing Match by W. R. Smale Co. The Smale Livestock Waterer will be available in three models to serve up to 200 head of cat- tle. Each Smale waterer incorporates two 300 watt electric heaters for a total of 600 watts per unit -- sufficient to keep them ice -free even through a Canadian winter. Other design features which make the new waterer superior to imported float waterers include heavier metal throughout, more insulation, a hinged tip -up trough for easier maintenance and a simple non -corrosive plastic valve that won't plug with sand, -)et can take pressures up to 75 pounds.
