C. 20.4 Ovulation controlling agents and prostaglandins.

Pharmacological Action
Receptal® contains a synthetic gonadotrophin releasing hormone that controls the production and secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior lobe of the pituitary. It is used in reproductive disorders due to ovarian disfunction. It induces ovulation and improves the rate of conception in cows, mares and rabbits.

Indications

Cattle:

• Fertility disorders of ovarian origin, especially:
• Follicular cysts with or without symptoms of nymphomania.
• Anoestrus in cycling and non-cycling animals.
• Delayed ovulation.
• Follicle atresia.
• For increasing the conception rate in artificial insemination procedures, also after oestrus synchronization.
• Prophylaxis of fertility disorders by cycle induction early post partum.

Mares:

• Cystic changes of the ovaries with or without prolonged or permanent oestrus.
• Anoestrus in non-cycling animals.
• Induction of ovulation.
• For establishing more accurately the time of ovulation and service.
• For increasing conception rates.
• In prolonged and permanent oestrus.

Rabbits:

• For improving conception rate.
• For induction of ovulation in post partum insemination.

Contra-indications
The administration of Receptal® is not recommended if, in cows without external signs of oestrus, a corpus luteum is detected. In mares without symptoms of oestrus, the presence of a corpus luteum that is not clinically evident, must be taken into account. In such cases luteolytic prostaglandins are to be administered.
