Matrix (1LT) swine synchonize estrus & heat sows otc
MATRIX is the only product that lets you synchronize estrus in your gilt pool for maximum operational efficiency. They come into heat during the same period, are bred at the same time, and farrow on the same schedule. Their pigs are weaned together, finish together and are delivered to the packer together. You'll have better flow management with less variation, and your packer will receive a more consistent product.
* MATRIX gives swine producers unparalleled control of estrus synchronization in sexually mature, cycling females. This leads to maximal operating efficiency and profitability.
* Reduce costs and increase profitability. MATRIX can potentially lower your labor costs by dramatically reducing heat checking and virtually eliminating weekend breeding and farrowing(1). Additionally, with MATRIX, up to 85% of your treated gilts will be in estrus within 4-9 days after MATRIX withdrawal, which can impact your bottom line in a number of ways.
MATRIX works like nothing else.
MATRIX (altrenogest) is a synthetic progestagen, the only product of its kind on the market for the suppression and synchronization of estrus. Progesterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone in the swine estrous cycle with the primary function of maintaining pregnancy. MATRIX can reduce normal biological variations in reproduction and improve production efficiency.
Apply 6.8 mL of MATRIX directly to each gilts feed once every day, for 14 consecutive days. Gilts should come into estrus 4-9 days after the removal of MATRIX from their diet.
MATRIX is designed for the synchronization of estrus in sexually mature gilts that have had at least one estrous cycle. Treatment with MATRIX results in estrus (standing heat) 4 to 9 days after completion of the 14-day treatment period.
* Remove cover from bottle dispensing tip and connect luer lock syringe (without needle.)
* Draw out appropriate volume of MATRIX solution. (Note: Do not remove syringe while bottle is inverted, as spillage my result.)
* Detach syringe and replace cover on bottle dispensing tip to prevent leakage.
* To produce the desired synchronization of estrus in a group of gilts, treat all of the gilts once daily for the same 14-day period.
* Treat gilts on an individual basis by top dressing MATRIX on a portion of each gilt's daily feed allowance.
* Administer 6.8 mL (15 mg altrenogest) per gilt once daily for 14 consecutive days.
* Underfeeding of MATRIX may lead to the occurrence of cystic follicles.
* Excessive use of a syringe may cause the syringe to stick. This is normal. Simply discard and replace syringe as necessary.
