All the performance.
None of the hassle.
With an additional 120 pounds live weight or 75 pounds in carcass weight average, REVALOR-XS delivers huge benefits versus non-implanted steers however or wherever you sell cattle.1,2 It can even outperform re-implanting.* All with a single application.
*REVALOR-IS and -S are not labeled for re-implanting under new guidance.
With the right implant now, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of re-implanting later.
There’s no telling what “later” will bring. In 90 days, when it would typically be time to re-implant, the weather could turn or you could be shorthanded. That’s just a couple of the many uncertainties associated with reworking cattle that REVALOR-XS can help eliminate.
Save on labor
Reduced stress on animals and staff
No reduced feed intake
Reduced risk from labor shortage
Reduced risk from weather
Gain peace of mind
Don’t let re-implanting set cattle back.
Reprocessing cattle can result in a feed intake decrease that can take 38 days to return to pre-reprocessing levels.3 With REVALOR-XS, there is no drop-off because cattle don’t have to be re-implanted. So you keep all your gains.
Patented technology delivers the performance of a re-implant without the hassle.
Unlike other extended-release products, REVALOR-XS delivers two distinct doses appropriate for the growth phase of the animal.
Each implant consists of 10 pellets. Four uncoated pellets go to work immediately, while six X7™ polymer-coated pellets go to work 70-80 days later. This distinct and weight-appropriate second dose works like a re-implant – without the work, stress or risk of bringing cattle up.

Is a feedlot re-implant necessary?
While a second dose is desirable to boost performance, re-implanting itself is not – which is why the implant you choose matters. With the right implant now, there’s no need to re-implant later.
