Beef Cows, Beef Heifers and Replacement Dairy Heifers
For estrus synchronization in beef cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers
LUTALYSE Injection 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 LUTALYSE Injection (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 LUTALYSE Injection. 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.
For abortion in beef cows, beef heifers and replacement dairy heifers
Inject a dose of 25 mg dinoprost (5 mL) intramuscularly during the first 100 days of gestation. Cattle that abort will abort within 35 days of injection.
Label highlights
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 LUTALYSE Injection (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.
Lactating Dairy Cows
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 LUTALYSE Injection 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.
For use with FACTREL® (gonadorelin injection) Injection to synchronize estrous cycles to allow fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) in lactating dairy cows
Administer 2 to 4 mL FACTREL Injection (100-200 mcg gonadorelin) per cow as an intramuscular injection in a treatment regimen with the following framework:
- Administer the first dose of FACTREL Injection (2-4 mL) at Day 0
- Administer LUTALYSE (25 mg dinoprost, as dinoprost tromethamine) Injection by intramuscular injection 6-8 days after the first dose of FACTREL Injection.
- Administer a second dose of FACTREL Injection (2-4 mL) 30 to 72 hours after the LUTALYSE injection.
- Perform FTAI 0 to 24 hours after the second dose of FACTREL Injection, or inseminate cows on detected estrus using standard herd practices.
For unobserved (silent) estrus in lactating dairy cows with a corpus luteum
Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE Injection (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.
Cattle
For treatment of pyometra (chronic endometritis) in cattle
Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE Injection (25 mg dinoprost) intramuscularly.
Swine (sows and gilts)
For parturition induction in swine
Inject intramuscularly within 3 days of normal predicted farrowing. The response to treatment varies by individual animals with a mean interval from administration of 2 mL LUTALYSE Injection (10 mg dinoprost) to parturition of approximately 30 hours. This can be employed to control the time of farrowing in sows and gilts in late gestation. Do not administer to sows and/or gilts prior to 3 day of normal predicted farrowing as an increased number of stillbirths and postnatal mortality may result.
Horse (mares)
For controlling the timing of estrus in estrous cycling mares.
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 LUTALYSE Injection. This luteolytic effect can be utilized to control the timing of estrus in estrous cycling and clinically anestrous mares that have a corpus luteum
