Cattle (beef cows, beef heifers, and replacement dairy heifers)
For estrus synchronization in beef cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers.
ProstaMate is used to control the timing of estrus and ovulation in estrous cycling cattle that have a corpus luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL ProstaMate (25 mg dinoprost) intramuscularly either once or twice at a 10 to 12 day interval. With the single injection, cattle should be bred at the usual time relative to estrus. With the two injections cattle can be bred after the second injection either at the usual time relative to detected estrus or at about 80 hours after the second injection of ProstaMate. Estrus is expected to occur 1 to 5 days after injection if a corpus luteum was present. Cattle that do not become pregnant to breeding at estrus on days 1 to 5 after injection will be expected to return to estrus in about 18 to 24 days.
Cattle (lactating dairy cows)
For unobserved (silent) estrus in lactating dairy cows with a corpus luteum.
Inject a dose of 5 mL ProstaMate (25 mg dinoprost) intramuscularly. Breed cows as they are detected in estrus. If estrus has not been observed by 80 hours after injection, breed at 80 hours. If the cow returns to estrus, breed at the usual time relative to estrus.
For use with gonadorelin injection to synchronize estrous cycles to allow fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) in lactating dairy cows.
Administer 2 to 4 mL gonadorelin injection (100-200 mcg gonadorelin) per cow as an intramuscular injection in a treatment regimen with the following framework:
- Administer the first dose of gonadorelin injection (2-4 mL) at Day 0
- Administer ProstaMate® (25 mg dinoprost, as dinoprost tromethamine) by intramuscular injection 6-8 days after the first dose of gonadorelin injection.
- Administer a second dose of gonadorelin injection (2-4 mL) 30 to 72 hours after the ProstaMate® injection.
- Perform FTAI 0 to 24 hours after the second dose of gonadorelin injection, or inseminate cows on detected estrus using standard herd practices.
For use with EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® (progesterone intravaginal insert) Cattle Insert for synchronization of estrus in lactating dairy cows.
- Administer one EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Insert per animal and remove 7 days later (for example if administered on a Monday remove the following Monday).
- Administer 5 mL ProstaMate® at the time of removal of the EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Insert.
- Observe animals for signs of estrus on Days 2 to 5 after removal of the EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Insert and inseminate animals found in estrus following normal herd practices.
Cattle (beef cows, dairy cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers)
For treatment of pyometra (chronic endometritis) in cattle.
Inject a dose of 5 mL ProstaMate (25 mg dinoprost) intramuscularly.
Cattle (beef cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers)
For abortion in beef cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers.
ProstaMate® is indicated for its abortifacient effect in beef cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers during the first 100 days of gestation. Inject a dose of 25 mg dinoprost (5 mL) intramuscularly. Cattle that abort will abort within 35 days of injection.
Cattle (beef cows, replacement beef and dairy heifers)
For use with EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® (progesterone intravaginal insert) Cattle Insert for synchronization of estrus in suckled beef cows and replacement beef and dairy heifers, advancement of first postpartum estrus in suckled beef cows, and advancement of first pubertal estrus in beef heifers.
- Administer one EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Insert per animal for 7 days (for example, if administered on a Monday remove on the following Monday).
- Inject 5 mL ProstaMate (equivalent to 5 mg/mL dinoprost) 1 day prior to EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Insert removal, on Day 6 of the 7 day administration period.
- Observe animals for signs of estrus on Days 1 to 3 after removal of the EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Insert and inseminate animals about 12 hours after onset of estrus.
Swine (gilts and sows)
For parturition induction in swine.
For intramuscular use for parturition induction in swine. ProstaMate is indicated for parturition induction in swine when injected within 3 days of normal predicted farrowing. The response to treatment varies by individual animals with a mean interval from administration of 2 mL ProstaMate (10 mg dinoprost) to parturition of approximately 30 hours. This can be employed to control the time of arrowing in sows and gilts in late gestation.
Horses (mares)
For controlling the timing of estrus in estrous cycling mares and for difficult-to-breed mares (clinically anestrous mares that have a corpus luteum).
Administer a single intramuscular injection of 1 mg per 100 lbs (45.5 kg) body weight which is usually 1 mL to 2 mL ProstaMate.
