    tren = cow hormones?

    Recently someone told me that tren was designed as a steroid for cows to beef them up for a bit before they slaughtered them so they would have more muscle on them for meat. Any truth to this?

    I'm a Taurus so TREN is ok for me.

    as far as HORSE2006 he'd be better off with EQ.

    Tren is 'harsh' because it's a powerful anabolic/androgen not because it’s used to promote growth in cattle. Most steroids were used in cattle at one point in time.

    I wonder what they use these days in race horses? Of course EQ and lasix but there is so much money in racing that there must be a lot of new designer stuff for them? I love going to the track and looking at those beautiful animals. Huge muscles and graceful.

    I think the US is one of the last countries to still allow farmers to dope their cows. Many European countries thought the steriods would be passed on to kids leading to a shorter society due to stunted growth... but if I can remember right, they ruled this possibility out.

    Moooooooooooo!

    It's a big cow...

    From here...

    "In Belgium there is not much in the way of sprawling ranch-land. Cattle farmers there had to find a way to get more bang for their buck in order to stay economically viable. Over the years these ranchers selectively breeded for more muscular cattle. Ultimately, they were able to produce an animal that had 2 to 3 times the muscle mass of a normal cow. The animal is called a Belgian Blue. See the photo below.



    "The economic impact of producing 2 to 3 times as much marketable meat on a single animal was obvious and resulted in a race to discover the genetics underlying this phenomenon. A scientist named Michel Georges at the University of Liege at Belgium was able to isolate a gene called GDF-8 which encoded for a protein called myostatin. Myostatin is a protein that sends a signal that determines how large a muscle can become. When a muscle approaches the limits of its size, myostatin stops any further size increases. Dr. Georges was able to show that the Belgian Blue cattle had a deletion of the GDF-8 gene that is responsible for myostatin production. As a consequence, these animals had no regulation of their muscle growth and thus became very muscular. Realize that this occurred with no exercise or special diet. In the same way that an albino lacks the gene that encodes for melanin (which produces skin pigment), these animals lacked the gene that encodes for myostatin (which limits muscle growth)."
