MGA 100 Premix Indications

For growth stimulation, improved feed utilization and suppression of estrus (heat) in heifers fed for slaughter.

Directions For Preparing Medicated Supplements

MGA 100 premix should be thoroughly mixed in a supplement for feedlot heifers at a level that will provide 0.4 mg of melengestrol acetate per head per day. The following chart shows the quantities of MGA 100 premix to be used to prepare various supplements.

Good manufacturing procedures should be observed in preparing supplements containing MGA 100 premix in order to avoid cross contamination of other feeds.

Directions For Use Of Medicated Supplements

Supplements containing MGA 100 premix should be fed at the recommended rate that will supply 0.4 mg of melengestrol acetate per head per day. Such supplements, that are usually designed to be fed at a rate of 0.25 to 1 kg per head per day, may be fed separately, top-dressed on the grain or silage or mixed with the rest of the ration to provide a complete feed. Alternatively, MGA 100 premix may be used in pelletted feeds, including those which contain a lignin sulfonate pellet binding agent.

Medicated supplements should be used continuously throughout the time that the heifers are being fed for slaughter. If medication is stopped for three days or more, the heifers may come into heat. A 24-hour withdrawal period immediately preceding slaughter must be observed; however, longer withdrawal periods should be avoided.
