[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6684079, member: 5764"] I don’t know of a time we haven’t allowed hormone use in cattle for beef. Majority of all animals finished in the feedlot system will have been implanted at least once. They’re also available for use by producers in calves on the udder. None of them are technically growth hormones though, they’re usually some form of estrogen and progesterone. The hormone that’s not allowed in dairy cattle is rBGH to increase milk production which is the bovine growth hormone. Chickens aren’t allowed hormones and because of that quota I doubt any is really imported. Pigs I’m unsure of. I don’t recall of ever hearing of hormone use in pigs. We do seem to do quite a bit of swapping of live animals across the border so if we don’t use them then it’s likely America doesn’t either. [/QUOTE]
