Fertagyl (Gonadorelin) injectable is indicated for the treatment of cystic ovaries in dairy cattle and can also can be used to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for fixed time artificial insemination in lactating dairy cows.
Endogenous gonadorelin is synthesized by and/or released from the hypothalamus during various stages of the bovine estrous cycle following appropriate neurogenic stimuli. It passes via the hypophyseal portal vessels, to the anterior pituitary to effect the release of gonadotropins (e.g. LH, FSH). Synthetic gonadorelin administered intramuscularly or intravenously also causes the release of endogenous LH and FSH from the anterior pituitary.
Fertagyl is indicated for the treatment of ovarian follicular cysts in dairy cattle. Ovarian cysts are nonovulated follicles with incomplete luteinization which result in nymphomania or irregular estrus.
Historically, cystic ovaries have responded to an exogenous source of LH such as human chorionic gonadotropin.
Fertagyl initiates release of endogenous LH to cause ovulation and luteinization.
Fertagyl is indicated for use with Estrumate (cloprostenol injection) to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for fixed time artificial insemination (FTAI) in lactating dairy cows.
