Description

In this issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, guest editors Drs. Jessica Sperber and Galen Erickson bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Growth-Enhancing Technologies in Cattle Production: Science, Application, and Industry Impact. Top experts explore the historical development of growth-enhancing technologies (GETs), their physiological mechanisms, and practical applications across different phases of cattle production. By examining hormonal implants, beta-agonists, and alternative strategies, this comprehensive review provides insight into the benefits, challenges, and future implications of GETs in cattle production.- Contains 13 relevant, practice-oriented topics including a historical perspective on GETs in cattle; understanding growth physiology in cattle; best practices for implant administration; environmental and ethical considerations; and more- Provides in-depth clinical reviews on growth-enhancing technologies in cattle production, offering actionable insights for clinical practice- Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews
