Estrumate is approved for:

ESTRUMATE is approved for the following in lactating dairy cows, beef cows and replacement beef and dairy heifers:

  • Unobserved or non-detected estrus
  • Treatment of pyometra or chronic endometritis
  • Treatment of mummified fetus
  • Treatment of luteal cysts
  • Estrus synchronization
  • Termination of unwanted pregnancies

ESTRUMATE is also approved for use with FERTAGYL® (gonadorelin) to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for fixed-time artificial insemination in lactating dairy cows.

Research

ESTRUMATE is a prostaglandin analogue that causes regression of the corpus luteum, which results in estrus in two to five days in cycling animals. ESTRUMATE is known to have a long half-life of three hours2, and research has shown it is a strong luteolytic agent. Better luteolysis is related to better conception.
