Abstract
A method of promoting growth and enhancing feed efficiency in meat producing animals. The 6' esters of zearalanol are effective growth promoting agents in meat producing animals, particularly ruminants, when implanted subcutaneously in said animals to obtain a controlled release of the compositions. Included in this group of compositions are: zearalanol 6'-butyrate; zearalanol 6'-decanoate; zearalanol 6'-hexanoate; zearalanol 6'-laurate; zearalanol 6'-trichloroacetate; and zearalanol 6'-trifluoroacetate.
