Implants were inconsistent for us. Our guys tell us that its because it is not enough melatonin for a large animal. The implants are made for goats and sheep. No one can ever seem to get them from a consistent source so we always questioned the way they were handled as well. One jock even pulled them out of his pocket to sell them to us. Implants are made for small animals and are expensive per milligram sometimes costing over a dollar per milligram. Wallmart sells melatonin for pennys per milligram and grow and shine sells it for less. Our guys say 100 miligrams per day for a larger animal so you can see its nearly impossible to get enough melatonin from an implant.
