 HORMONE

Hormone is a chemical messenger produced by gland in the body

which secreted to the blood and carried to the tissue to exert their
function
Many type of hormones include steroid and protein
 Hormone preparation used in animal
husbandry
Hormones origin Example
Endogenous Steroid sex hormones (ie.
Estrogen,testosterone, progesterone) low
bioavailability (orally)- good bioavailability (sc
implantation)
Exogenous Estrogen derivative diethylstilboestrol
(DES),hexoestrol,
zeranol
Synthetic androgen Trenbolone acetate
(TBA), methyl-
testosterone
Synthetic gestagens Melengestrol acetate
Types of hormone administration to the animal

Implantation
- implants are placed under the skin on the back side of the animals ear -
implants dissolve slowly under the skin
Feed with food
Injection
 Important of hormone in animal husbandry

Improve growth rate of aimals

Improve in feeding conversion efficiency (FCE)
Increase in milk production
Control animal oestrus cycle
