INDICATIONS:
Horses: ALTERMATE® Solution 0.22% is indicated for suppression
of estrus.
Suppression of estrus allows for a predictable occurrence of estrus
following drug withdrawal. This facilitates the attainment of
regular cyclicity during the transition from winter anestrus to the
physiological breeding season.
Suppression
of
estrus
will
also
facilitate
management
of
prolonged estrus conditions. Suppression of estrus may be used
to
facilitate
scheduled
breeding
during
the
physiological
breeding season.
Swine: ALTERMATE® Solution 0.22% is indicated for suppression of
estrus in sexually mature gilts.
ALTERMATE® Solution 0.22% mimics the action of progesterone
and blocks the cyclical release of gonadotrophins and thus the
development of estrus. Following cessation of treatment, pituitary
inhibition ceases and normal development and maturation of the
follicles returns, leading to a return to estrus and ovulation.
The predictable return to estrus (generally 5-7 days following
cessation of treatment) allows for estrus synchronization in a pool
of cycling gilts.
ALTERMATE® Solution 0.22% is indicated for suppression of estrus
in sexually mature gilts to:
1.
Permit synchronization of estrus in cycling gilts.
2.
Improve breeding unit organization by facilitating batch
management (all in, all out system) of the breeding gilts.
3.
Reduce the pre-breeding gilt pool size.
