Specifications: Each dose consists of 400 international units (I.U.) serum gonadotropin and 200 I.U. chorionic gonadotropin as a freeze-dried powder to be reconstituted with 5 milliliters of sterile aqueous diluent. Conditions of use: Swine (sows and gilts) Amount: 400 I.U. serum gonadotropin with 200 I.U. chorionic gonadotropin per 5 milliliters dose per animal. For subcutaneous use. Indications: For induction of fertile estrus (heat) in prepuberal (non-cycling) gilts or for induction of estrus in healthy weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus. Limitations: For use only in gilts over 5 1/2 months old and weighing at least 85 kilograms (185 pounds). Delayed return to estrus is most prevalent after the first litter. The effectiveness has not been established after later litters. Delayed return to estrus often occurs after periods of adverse environmental conditions, and sows mated after such conditions may farrow smaller than normal litters. |
