Description

Equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) powder for reconstitution.  Once reconstituted as instructed, the resultant solution contains 200 IU / mL eCG

Pack Sizes

Available in 5,000 IU and 20,000 IU vials with 25 ml and 100 ml diluent respectively. Cyclase 100mL can be used as the diluent for the freeze dried Novormon eCG 20,000IU pack size.

Action

Novormon eCG has dual follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) actions, which stimulates follicular growth and ovulation. The half life of eCG in cattle is 3 - 5 days, compared to endogenous gonadotropins which have half lives of around 20 minutes. In oestrus synchrony / noncycling cow treatment programs, the administration of Novormon eCG, when progesterone inserts are removed, optimises the fertility of the subsequent ovulation.

Indication

Complement to anoestrus treatment programs in cows, ewes and goats. Induction of ovulation and superovulation of pubescent and prepubescent cattle, sheep and pigs. Oestrus synchronisation in sows. Optimises the handling of artificial insemination and embryo transplantation.
Novormon eCG complements the use of the DIB-V (A10319) and DIB-h (A10832) progesterone inserts, Gonasyn (A10642) and Cyclase (A10490) in DIB-Synch Plus oestrus synchrony programs.

Dosage

Reconstitute freeze dried powder with either the sterile diluent or Cyclase prior to use. Once reconstituted, each mL contains 200i.u. eCG.
Administer by i/m injection to cows, ewes, goats and sows.
Cows: Oestrus synchronisation 400 - 600i.u./animal (2mL doses of 400i.u. generally used in anoestrous cow treatment programs); Superovulation: 2,500 - 3,000i.u./animal.
