Research published in the Translational Animal Science journal found significant benefits to average daily gain and carcass value among low-risk, yearling Angus steers who were treated with FerAppease® during initial processing at the research feedyard and again when re-implanted.
mBAS, the active ingredient of FerAppease, is the synthetic analogue of an appeasing pheromone that is naturally secreted from the mammary gland of lactating cows, which promotes a calming effect to the offspring. Cattle remain sensitive to the calming effects of mBAS until adult life.

Stress compromises animal performance, health and carcass quality. Improvements in live weight and carcass value pencil out to a $90.50 per head profit difference for carcass value (15:1 ROI) and $60 per head profit difference for live weight (10:1 ROI) for cattle treated with FerAppease versus those who were not.” – Reinaldo Cooke, PhD
