Cautions:
Treatment will not induce estrus in gilts that have already reached puberty (begun to cycle).
Gilts that are less than five and one-half months of age or that weigh less than 85 kg (187 lb.) may not be mature enough to continue normal estrus cycles or maintain a normal pregnancy to full term after treatment.
Treatment will not induce estrus in sows that are returning to estrus normally three to seven days after weaning.
Delayed return to estrus is most prevalent after the first litter; the effectiveness of P.G. 600 has not been established after later litters. Delayed return to estrus often occurs during periods of adverse environmental conditions, and sows mated under such conditions may farrow smaller than normal litters.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
One dose (5 mL) of reconstituted P.G. 600, containing 400 IU serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 200 IU chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), should be injected into the gilt or sow’s neck behind the ear.
Prepuberal gilts should be injected when they are selected for addition to the breeding herd. Sows should be injected at weaning during periods of delayed return to estrus.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: SINGLE DOSE VIALS:
Using a sterile syringe and a sterile 0.90 x 38 mm (20 G x 1½”) hypodermic needle, transfer the contents of one vial of sterile diluent (5 mL) into one vial of freeze-dried powder. Shake gently to dissolve the powder. Inject the contents of the vial into the gilt or sow’s neck behind the ear.
FIVE DOSE VIAL:
Using a sterile syringe and a sterile 0.90 x 38 mm (20 G x 1½”) hypodermic needle, transfer approximately 5 mL of the sterile diluent into the vial of freeze-dried powder. Shake gently to dissolve the powder. Transfer the dissolved product back into the vial of diluent and shake gently to mix. Inject one dose (5 mL) of the reconstituted solution into the gilt or sow’s neck behind the ear.
