INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
_Oestrus control:_ cows and heifers treated during the luteal phase
will normally
return to oestrus and ovulate 2-4 days after treatment. In mares
oestrus will
normally occur within 5 days of treatment followed by ovulation 2-4
days later.
_Oestrus synchronisation:_ when a group of cows at different stages in
the
oestrous cycle are to be synchronised, two injections will be required
with an
interval of 10-12 days between injections. It is recommended that
animals be
served/inseminated at the oestrus following treatment, i.e. at 72
hours after
the second injection. If double insemination is preferred, this should
take
place at 72 and 96 hours after the second injection. Alternatively
treatment
may be used in conjunction with GnRH (see Further information).
_Treatment of sub-oestrus:_ this condition is found in lactating cows
at the peak
of production. Animals may have normal cyclical ovarian activity, but
may not
show any outward signs of oestrus. Having confirmed the presence of a
corpus luteum, treatment will cause luteal regression followed by
oestrus in 2-
4 days.
_Induction of abortion:_ The product can be used to induce abortion in
cattle
and mares. Animals may be treated from 1 week up to 5 months after
mesalliance. Following luteal regression, abortion will usually occur
within 7
days. In some cases, particularly those later on the pregnancy, a
second or
third treatment may be required.

_Induction of parturition:_ in cattle, treatment may be used to
initiate labour after
the 270th day of pregnancy. C
