Abstract

Prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) has been reported to be luteolytic in the bovine. As a result of the luteolytic activity, PG F2a has been reported in both scientific and clinical journals to be effective in cattle for treatment of unobserved estrus, abortion, parturition, pyometra, termination of pathological gestation and cystic ovaries. The data support a conclusion that Lutalyse sterile solution was effective for the treatment of unobserved (silent) estrus as measured by pregnancy rates within five (5) days after treatment.
