This box produces 3000 kg of world-class Australian beef¹...

Compudose is proven to maximise growth rates in grassfed cattle. The average of 134 trials conducted in Australia shows cattle implanted with Compudose have a 15.8 percent average weight gain advantage compared to non-implanted cattle.¹ This means a single box of Compudose 400 can increase your production of world-class Australian beef by 3000 kg.²

... and helps you to achieve market specifications sooner.

Compudose 400 helps your cattle to reach target market specifications, sooner. As Compudose 400 has a payout period of 400 days, you can implant when it suits you and have your cattle ready for turn-off when required. This gives you maximum flexibility with stocking rates, paddock rotations and supplementary feeding.

 This box produces about $10,000 of world-class Australian beef¹...

Compudose delivers you more profit, more consistently. In fact, a single box of Compudose can increase your profitability by about $10,000.² An independent economic study found that the additional weight gain advantage provided by implants routinely deliver higher returns than implant-free cattle, even when market premiums are considered.³

 …. and is your passport to most major export and domestic markets.

Compudose allows you to target and achieve specifications for most major export and domestic markets for world class Australian boxed beef, including MSA-graded markets.⁴ Major export markets for Australian boxed beef, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, USA and Canada, accept cattle treated with implants. Likewise, most domestic markets and feedlots also accept implanted cattle, giving you the flexibility to turn off cattle sooner.

This box is helping to deliver about $172 million to Australian beef producers each year⁴...

Implants have been widely used to improve growth rates and feed conversion efficiency in the Australian beef industry for more than 30 years. An economic analysis conducted in 2014 shows the use of implants helps to produce about 150,000 more tonnes of world-class Australian beef each year.⁵ The use of growth enhancing technologies, such as Compudose and Rumensin™, provide important environmental benefits by maximising productivity from available resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.^7,8,9

 Choosing the right box of Compudose

Selecting the right implant

Elanco markets a complete range of long, medium and short acting implants suitable for maximising growth rates in grassfed cattle. The performance and recommended usage of each implant depends upon its active ingredient(s), formulation and length of payout. Your Elanco representative can provide advice about which implants and implant strategies are best for your situation.

Compudose 400, 200 and 100

Compudose 400, 200 and 100 contain oestradiol-17ß, a naturally-occurring oestrogen. Each formulation consists of an inert silicone rubber core covered with a coating of oestradiol-medicated silicone rubber. The durable core helps in preventing crushing or breaking during implantation, ensuring consistent pay out and long-term performance. The active ingredient is slowly released into the bloodstream to provide a daily dose above the threshold for growth promotion over 400, 200 or

100 days, respectively.

Compudose-G

Compudose-G contains oestradiol and trenbolone acetate (TBA), a synthetic androgen. Compudose-G consists of three compressed pellets using a cholesterol carrier that are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream after implantation. Compudose-G is a short-acting implant that has a minimum re-implanting interval of 70 days. For best results, Compudose-G should only be used under very good nutritional conditions and ideally, as a terminal implant.
