This, in turn, reduces the amount of fat deposition and increases the efficiency of feed conversion." So this makes them able to convert their feed mass into body mass faster? Am I understanding that correctly? So how much of a conversion difference is their? How "efficient" is it to add these hormones? You have spiked my interest and curiosity.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487763180402358349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423317253506449390.post-50662060589338496602011-08-29T12:56:56.849-05:002011-08-29T12:56:56.849-05:00You have explained the minute difference, by .6 na...You have explained the minute difference, by .6 nano-grams, but why is it imperative to even add estrogen to the cattle? Added estrogen can cause a lot of alterations, granted I understand you are saying cattle's increase is very small. With soy the amount of estrogen is dramatic. <br />"These phytoestrogens have been found to have adverse effects on various human tissues, and drinking only two glasses of soy milk daily for one month has enough of the chemical to alter a woman's menstrual cycle."<br /><br />So, as I asked, why is estrogen being added to the beef? I'm not contradicting you in anyway, I would just like a clarification of why.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487763180402358349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423317253506449390.post-74840270544489382312011-08-29T10:09:01.649-05:002011-08-29T10:09:01.649-05:00The only other thing that might help is to try to ...The only other thing that might help is to try to explain the size of a nanogram to people.<br /><br />Keep the information coming.<br /><br />judi @ farmnwife.comfarmnwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088747559630734610noreply@blogger.com
