Why Choose Ovuprost™?
In the reproductive system, prostaglandins (PGs) play a role in ovulation, luteolysis, gamete transport, uterine motility, expulsion of foetal membranes and sperm transport in both the male and female tracts. PGs are employed in reproductive therapeutics primarily for their potent luteolytic effects.
Ovuprost has been used as part of our research into reproduction programmes over the last 10 years in NZ conditions – helping Elanco develop leading programmes and practices.
Using Ovuprost as part of the ProM8 programme: trial work performed in NZ non-cycling cows has demonstrated a significantly higher conception rate and 6-week in-calf rate comparative to a Prosynch programme. ProM8 utilises an additional Ovuprost injection on Day 8 of the programme, helping achieve complete luteolysis.
