To date, PGF has been used or advocated for nearly every conceivable reproductive disorder of cattle, from retained placenta to treatment for mismating. Some therapeutic uses are based on a recognized action of PGF, for example, luteolysis for treatment of unobserved estrus. Other uses are based on more speculative premises, for example, stimulation of the myometrium for treatment of postpartum metritis.
