Aktif bileşen:

Synthetic peptide analogue of GnRF conjugated to diptheria toxoid

Mevcut itibaren:

Zoetis Belgium SA

ATC kodu:

QI09AX

INN (International Adı):

Gonadotropin releasing factor (GnRF) analogue-protein conjugate

Terapötik grubu:

Male pigs (from 8 weeks of age); Female pigs (from 14 weeks of age)

Terapötik alanı:

Immunologicals for suidae

Terapötik endikasyonlar:

Male pigs:Induction of antibodies against GnRF to produce a temporary immunological suppression of testicular function. For use as an alternative to physical castration for the reduction of boar taint caused by the key boar taint compound androstenone, in entire male pigs following the onset of puberty. Another key contributor to boar taint, skatole, may also be reduced as an indirect effect. Aggressive and sexual (mounting) behaviours are also reduced.Female pigs:Induction of antibodies against GnRF to produce a temporary immunological suppression of ovarian function (suppression of oestrus) in order to reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancies in gilts intended for slaughter, and to reduce the associated sexual behaviour (standing oestrus).

STATEMENT OF THE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE(S) AND OTHER INGREDIENT(S)
One dose (2 ml) contains:
ACTIVE SUBSTANCE:
Gonadotropin releasing factor (GnRF) analogue-protein conjugate
min. 300 µg.
(a synthetic peptide analogue of GnRF conjugated to diphtheria toxoid)
ADJUVANT:
Diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Dextran, an aqueous, non-mineral oil-based
adjuvant
300 mg.
EXCIPIENT:
Chlorocresol
2.0 mg.

INDICATION(S)
Male pigs:
Induction of antibodies against GnRF to produce a temporary
immunological suppression of testicular
function. For use as an alternative to physical castration for the
reduction of boar taint caused by the
key boar taint compound androstenone, in entire male pigs following
the onset of puberty.
Another key contributor to boar taint, skatole, may also be reduced as
an indirect effect. Aggressive
and sexual (mounting) behaviours are also reduced.
The onset of immunity (induction of anti-GnRF antibodies) can be
expected within 1 week post
second vaccination. Reduction of androstenone and skatole levels has
been demonstrated from 4 to 6
weeks post second vaccination. This reflects the time needed for
clearance of boar taint compounds
already present at the time of vaccination as well as the variability
of response between individual
animals. Reduction of aggressive and sexual (mounting) behaviours can
be expected from 1 to 2
weeks post second vaccination.
Female pigs:
Induction of antibodies against GnRF to produce a temporary
immunological suppression of ovarian
function (suppression of oestrus) in order to reduce the incidence of
unwanted pregnancies in gilts
