Extract

(1) Two trials on the effect of copper glycine injections on the live-weight gains of suckling beef calves under commercial conditions are described.

(2) One injection supplying 120 mg. of copper increased live-weight gains by approximately 10% during the suckling and grazing period. A second injection given two months after the first gave a further positive but not statistically significant response.
