Summary
Magnetic pulse medical therapy developed for humans was reengineered for trials on feedlot cattle in an attempt to improve growth rate and eating quality. The first trial used low cost equipment because of cost constraints and trial results suggested a possible small effect that was not commercially significant.
Since the conclusion of Trial 1, developments in low cost but much higher powered equipment (from China) made a less compromised trial possible using energy levels comparable to the successful European laboratory trials on cattle.
The results of Trial 2 were not conclusive and it was recommended that no further research be conducted in this area.
