What is Fertagyl used for?

FERTAGYL IS APPROVED FOR: Treatment of cystic ovaries in dairy cattle. Use with ESTRUMATE® (cloprostenol injection) to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for fixed time artificial insemination (FTAI) in lactating dairy cows. Use with cloprostenol sodium to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for FTAI in beef cows.

What does GnRH do to a cow?

GnRH is a hormone made in a part of the cow brain that acts to release more hormones (FSH and LH) that are vital for successful follicular development and ovulation in the ovary.

What does prostaglandin do in cattle?

Prostaglandin is naturally produced by the uterus and terminates the normal cycle when a cow is not pregnant. This allows the cow to return to heat, ovulate and start a new cycle. Prostaglandins will synchronize heat only if cows are cycling; however, they are not effective on all days of the estrous cycle.

What is Estrumate used for in cattle?

ESTRUMATE® (cloprostenol injection) is a leading prostaglandin and improves reproductive performance in dairy and beef cattle. This reproductive tool allows for better management of heat detection, breeding, calving intervals and the scheduling of entry of heifers into the milking herd.

What is CYSTORELIN used for in dogs?

Cystorelin (GnRH) has been used at 3.3 micrograms/kg and has increased sperm numbers. Additionally, GnRH agonists used at 1/1 micrograms/kg is thought to increase the number, motility, viability of normal sperm while decreasing the amount of abnormal sperm.

Is HCG better than gonadorelin?

At this point, from what we’ve observed, gonadorelin is more effective than HCG and is less likely to cause adverse effects. We believe that many if not most of our patients would choose to continue to use gonadorelin if HCG were to become readily available again.
