Lutalyse 5mg/ml Injection

Reproductive Care for Cattle Horses Swine

Product Description

Lutalyse Sterile Solution is a veterinarian-approved injectable used to manage reproduction in cattle, horses, and swine. It contains dinoprost tromethamine, a form of prostaglandin F2α that occurs naturally in the body. This ingredient helps regulate and synchronize heat cycles, address silent heat, support uterine clearance, and induce labor or abortion when needed.

When used under proper veterinary guidance, Lutalyse offers reliable, consistent results and plays an important role in effective herd reproductive management programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Lutalyse Sterile Solution used for in livestock?

Ans: Lutalyse Sterile Solution is used in cattle, horses, and swine for reproductive management. It helps control and synchronize estrus, treat sub-estrus and uterine conditions, induce abortion in cattle within specific gestation stages, and induce parturition in cattle and swine under veterinary supervision.

Q2: How does Lutalyse work in cattle?

Ans: Lutalyse contains dinoprost tromethamine, a prostaglandin F2α that causes luteolysis of the corpus luteum. In cycling cattle, this action results in return to estrus and ovulation within approximately two to four days when administered during the luteal phase.

Q3: When should Lutalyse be given to induce farrowing in swine?

Ans: Lutalyse should be administered within three days or 72 hours of the normal predicted farrowing date. When given two to three days before expected farrowing, most treated sows begin farrowing within about 40 hours after injection.

Q4: Can Lutalyse be used in horses to induce estrus?

Ans: Yes, Lutalyse is indicated for its luteolytic effect in mares to induce estrus and manage extended diestrus. Following treatment, regression of the corpus luteum typically leads to return to estrus and possible ovulation.

Q5: Is there a withdrawal period for meat or milk after using Lutalyse?

Ans: Treated cattle and swine must not be slaughtered for food for at least two days after treatment. No milk withholding time is required when used according to the label. Horses treated with this product must not enter the food chain.
