V I E W P O I N T

Each year BEEF Magazine conducts a readers survey testing the pulse of the industry. The most recent poll, while unscientific, provided some interesting responses.

We all are aware of the rapid contraction of our nation’s cowherd due to widespread drought. As a result, millions of cows have been taken out of production and replacements turned into feedlot heifers, rather than herd replacements. Yet, according to the BEEF survey, only 0.5% plan to get out of the cow business and not retire, while only 0.5% plan to exit the business due to retirement.

Our industry can’t afford to lose any producer, young or old. Attrition is a reality, but with such a small percentage of the country’s population directly

involved in farming and ranching, every lost cow-calf operation is tragic for multiple reasons. The loss of a rural family to the city has far a reaching impact and none of it good for production agriculture.

The same BEEF survey does provides more good news—at least for seedstock producers. More than 25% of the respondents indicate they expect to pay more for bulls in 2013. The respondents’ indicating they expect to pay more, indicate they expect prices may increase 10-20%. This is being confirmed by early bull sales.

More good news, yet no surprise—producers remain optimistic. No one believes sustaining or growing their operations will be easy. Yet, when parched pastures throughout the mid-section of the country get sufficient rain, opportunities will exist in almost every segment of the beef business.

The American-International Charolais Association, like all breed registries, has been in constant state of transformation or redefining for almost a decade. In the beginning, protecting and preserving breed purity and history was the primary role of breed associations. Today, protecting and preserving is still important to AICA. However, research, marketing, communication, youth programs and industry collaboration are vital to the growth of Charolais across the country.

Sophisticated systems are in place, and have been for years, to prove

parentage. On the other hand, research, marketing and communication programs and services are moving targets. These programs must constantly be evaluated, updated, executed and monitored.

There’s much discussion about transparency throughout the production food chain. Transparency is equally important within our breed association. Your board of directors meet in the spring and fall each year. The board is made up of Charolais breeders. The issues discussed today are complicated and require objective input, careful thought and real world solutions. Like any well-run business, periodically, there’s a need to reassess and redirect based on economic or industry signals.

As a board and staff, we can only do so much to ensure transparency. The

fact remains that if only a few show up to participate, transparency is limited. Decisions must be made and those willing to show up and invest their time and energy in the process become the decision makers.

Now is the time to join in and let your voice be heard at the AICA’s 2013 Annual Membership Meeting and Spring Board of Directors Meeting. Your opportunity to do so is scheduled for Sunday, March 24 and Monday, March 25, at the Argosy Casino-Hotel and Spa, Riverside, Missouri.

It may seem repetitive, but the fact the AICA board works diligently to stay abreast of the beef industry and act in the best interest of Charolais, can’t be overstated. The registered seedstock sector gets more complicated every day and that complexity transcends every sector all the way to the consumer.

The Charolais breed and AICA are in an excellent position. The breed has played a vital role in meat production for three-quarters of a century. Unlike some breeds, Charolais is not geographically limited and our message should not be, either.

The spring board meetings are open. A meeting schedule and information can be found on pages 18 and 19 of this issue. You are encouraged to attend and participate.

American-International

Charolais AssociationThe AICA is the official registry for

Charolais and Charbray cattle in the United States. Charolais cattle were first

brought to the U.S. in 1936. In 1957, the American Charolais Breeders Association and the International Charolais Breeders

Association merged forming the present AICA. Membership in

the AICA is obtainable when the applicant has ownership in at least one animal, and

has paid the initial membership fee of $125. AICA annual dues are $100.

Your 2013 female inventories are due April 1st. All members that want to participate in AICA’s performance programs must have their active females enrolled. The female enrollments can be complete by returning the enrollment forms to the office with the active female clearly marked, or the enrollment can be done on-line. Many members find on-line enrollments an easy way to complete the enrollment process while saving time and postage. Log in with your breeder number and password, click into the “my inventory” button to get started! The fee to enroll in the Whole Herd Rewards (WHR) program is $14 per female until April 1st; the fee goes up to $17 after that. There is no fee to enroll females into the Performance Plus Rewards (PPR) program, you will however pay the traditional registration and transfer fees on the calves depending on their age. If you process your enrollment on-line, please do not return the forms.

AICA has been working to build a research database of 50K genotypes. This database will serve as the research base to help make DNA part of genomically enhanced EPDs for the Charolais breed. The initial recommendation for AICA to move forward is to establish a research database on 1,000 progeny proven sires. There is a list of specific animals that have already been tested posted on the website. There is also a list of desired sires that do not have the 50K genotype. This list was made available to us through the Animal Breeding faculty at Iowa State University. Check the website for more information and contact AICA regarding sample collection and submission of samples.

The AICA’s dam of distinction program recognizes dams that have consistently weaned calves with above average weaning weights and have been regular producers with 380 days or less calving intervals. A list of AICA’s newly added dams of distinction is on the website. Please check the list to see if you have a female that qualifies. These records are marked with an “asterisk” (*) on the website.

Charolais Bulls

I am importing French Charolais semen from the GENES DIFFUSION BULL STUD in France. I am making extra canisters available for $20 per straw Paris-to-San Francisco shipping cost. Full canes of semen orders only. You will also pay shipping costs from-and-back-to Santa Cruz, Calif. With your semen costs probably being less than $100 per insemination, this is your opportunity to order semen for several generations. You may study the www.genesdiffusion.com internet sire catalog. For help in bull selection, you may contact Boris Kasatkin at Charolais-optimal@genesdiffusion.com. telephone 011-02-51-47-75-15 and Fax 011-02-51-37-98-70

You also may order a sire catalog hard copy and semen by contacting Louis Bequette, e-mail louis.bequette@sbcglobal.net, telephone 831-462-6546 or writing 117 Vista Prieta Ct. Santa Cruz, Ca. 95062 I will purchase your payment Euros and make the International wire transfer of money. A new 260 straw capacity semen container costing $808 will be for sale at $700.

Call me if you want to discuss French Charolais cattle. I will give you the best information I can based upon my decade of French experiences.

Hi Everyone! My name is Mason Lewis. I’m from Monroe, Iowa and am currently serving as your AIJCA Area 5 Director. I’ve been showing Charolais cattle since my first bottle calf at the age of five and have enjoyed the Charolais breed ever since. This year I’m a sophomore at Iowa State University pursuing a major in Agronomy.

Q: As an AIJCA board director, what has been your most rewarding experience?

A: I would say making friends with AIJCA members from all around the country has been my most rewarding experience. Not everybody can say they have friends that live hundreds of miles away. I feel that having all of these friends has made me a well-rounded person and I have a better appreciation for the Charolais breed because of it.

Q: When was your first Charolais Junior National and which has been your favorite since?

A: I attended my first Junior Nationals in Hutchinson, Kansas in 2005. Looking back though, my favorite was in California. I enjoyed California the best because I made the most friends there and have some great memories that I will never forget, even though it was a smaller crowd.

Q: What does being a member of the AIJCA mean to you?

A: Being an AIJCA member means to me that I have to be a positive beef advocate for the Charolais industry and the cattle industry as a whole. It also means spending time and making memories with friends that love showing Charolais cattle.

Q: What would you tell Charolais juniors who are considering attending this year’s Charolais Junior National in Texarkana, Arkansas?

A: I would tell them that they should attend because after attending your life will be forever changed and you won’t want to ever miss another Junior Nationals! Junior Nationals has been my favorite week of the year for the

past 8 years. It is the one week I get to see all my friends from around the country that share the same passion for the Charolais breed that I do.

Q: Who was the first friend you made at

Charolais Junior National?

A: I don’t remember the very first friend I ever made at Junior Nationals, but a few come to mind like Taylor Schotte, Echo Nord, and Chelsea Woodcock. I believe I met all of these people at my third Junior Nationals in Wichita Falls, TX; where for those of you who don’t know or remember, it flooded the barns that year.

Q: What are you studying in college and how did you choose that major?

A: As I said earlier, I’m majoring in Agronomy at Iowa State University. I decided on this major because of my FFA experiences in high school. While in FFA I participated in multiple CDEs (Career Developmental Events). My favorite was the Agronomy CDE. During my sophomore year, my team and I went to the state competition and placed first overall. Later, during my junior year, my team and I participated in the national competition and the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN, where we placed 8th overall.

Q: Where would you like to travel to some day?

A: I would like to travel to Australia some day because I have always thought that the scenery looked beautiful and they would have wonderful weather. I also would like to go to a ranch and a row crop or small grain farm while I was in Australia. If I went to Australia I of course would also love to see a kangaroo in its natural habitat.

Q: What do you enjoy doing for fun?

A: When I’m not at a cattle show, I keep busy hanging out with friends, participating in clubs, playing videogames, working on the family farm, and going to the occasional Iowa State sporting event.

Any program can breed cattle by the numbers using computer evaluations, but how many select for the details beyond the numbers? It’s been said "the devil is in the details" For several decades Raile Charolais cow herd has been genetically evaluated for economic traits not measured by the computer. Disposition, structure, feet and legs, udders, fleshing ability and motherhood are traits needed to ensure longevity in the breeding animal. These heifers possess those traits. I cannot over emphasize that these are from the "TOP END"of our replacement pen. We DO NOT creep feed. Many of the heifers are out of Finks 2250 daughters. 2250 is a trait leader for Milk- ranked 8th- and is in the top 7% for Marbling. For those interested in EPDs, this group of heifers averaged WW-top 25%, YW-top 20% and top 30% for Milk. Loin-eye and Marbling EPD top 35%. They cover all the basis and should make good brood cows--with high predictability.

We’ve been breeding Charolais since 1970 and our love of the breed is even stronger today than it was in the beginning. This is the first large offering of females from our herd. We’re retaining a few donors and all of our heifers. All other females with Charolais calves are included. Most of these cows are the result of our AI and ET program with calves at side by the popular performance sire, Cooley Royce 1107 T39 and the National Champi-on, TR PZC Mr Turton 0794 ET. Most of the cows will be bred back to the #1 Multiple Trait Leader. M6 New Standard 842 P ET. We would sincerely appreciate your support.

44th National Charolais Show

Fort Worth, Texas

highly competitive exhibition of Charolais cattle representing exhibitors and consignors from 21 states and Canada welcomed cattlemen to the 117th edition of the historic Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo for the National Charolais Events.

An active and spirited crowd kicked off the National events with the 34th National Sale averaging $11,650 on live lots, February 1.

One of the largest crowds of spectators during the week of sixteen breed shows in Fort Worth — by all accounts, Charolais breeders from 28 states, Canada, Mexico and Brazil — was on hand for the 44th National Show, February 2.

The Fort Worth Stock Show’s mission to “facilitate interest in cattle” was truly evident based on Charolais breed activity.

LeRoy purchased his first purebred Charolais bull and began building his own herd with his wife, LaDonna in 1974. He became a member of the AICA and the Iowa Charolais Breeders Association.

LeRoy served as advisor of the Iowa Junior Charolais Association from 1994-2012. He travelled to many Junior National Shows with his daughters and later as a chaperone with Iowa Juniors. He was most proud of the 2008 Junior National hosted by the Iowa Juniors where he was honored as the 2008 AIJCA Advisor of the Year.

to be closer to their grandkids. As he reflected on his accomplishments, he said with a proud smile, “As a school teacher, 4-H leader and junior advisor my whole life, it’s fun to watch young kids go in and come out with so much personal growth. Many of my juniors have become leaders and breeders. I’m very proud of them.” LeRoy is a great example of how breeders working with our juniors are developing our industry and society’s next generation of leaders.

CHAROLAIS Facts:

DeBruycker charolais cattle excel“I purchased 10 purebred Angus-bred heifers and a bull from a reputable Kansas breeder; at the same time I purchased purebred DeBruycker Charolais bred-heifers and a bull. The Angus heifers look good, but they simply do not compare to the DeBruycker cattle. My wife even says she wishes the Angus would look as good as the DeBruycker Charolais cattle. We appreciate the quality of the DeBruycker cattle.” ~ Jeff Graham, East Dublin, GA

Thinking “outside the box” may well mean “thinking outside the pasture” as cattlemen across the United States see drought conditions linger and the feed bunk becoming antiquated by the soaring cost of feedstuffs.

In an effort to manage for higher nutritive value from less input, some U.S. livestock producers are looking toward sprouted grain fodder to increase profits. The use of sprouted grain as livestock feed has been used on a limited basis for many years, but recent management improvements are again making it popular. While the techniques seem to be more prominent with producers in the northwestern and northeastern sections of the United States, spiraling land prices and urban sprawl are adding momentum to this unique practice all across the country.

Just as cattlemen have turned to the fall seeding of root crops such as turnips, beets and rutabagas for additional grazing or feeding commodities like peanuts, cookies and cereal, others are beginning to look toward the use of sprouted barley fodder produced under controlled conditions to limit risk and insure a steady food source with high nutritive value. Using a hydroponic system, barley and other grain fodder can be produced efficiently in controlled systems so livestock producers are not held at bay by impending weather conditions or lack of available land. With a production time of just six to eight days, the hydroponic methods dramatically increases the value of grain by allowing producers to turn a pound of barley seed into as much as eight pounds of valuable feed.

Much of the support for growing grain fodder comes from producers in Australia and private companies with little research found from the typical land grant university systems that livestock producers in the United States are accustomed to relying on for production techniques and guidance. However, Cornell University’s Fay Benson has been working with dairy farmers in New York who are designing and

utilizing hydroponic fodder systems for supplementing dairy herds of up to 80 head.

As grazing NY Educator with the South Central NY Dairy Team and small dairy support specialist with Cornell’s Small Farm Team, Benson notes that cows are ruminants and the rumen is designed to best digest plant-based food products. “More and more we’ve been feeding grains to them and that’s not like a ruminant. With the barley fodder, they’re taking a grain and sprouting it so more digestible material will be available.” It’s important to note that small grains and grasses grow well in the area and the idea of growing fodder is still prevailing as a way for producers to have healthier cows and

productive operations by eliminating their reliance on traditional grain-based feed rations.

John Stoltzfus, a New York organic dairy farmer and author of “Our Journey into the Land of Fodder” reports using a single feeding of five to 10 pounds of fodder per head per day along with traditional baled hay on his family’s operation. Their homemade

system, which utilizes aluminum seamless gutter material to create 12-foot trays, requires one and a half hours of labor to harvest 1,400-1,800 pounds of fodder daily. Future plans call for adding a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) mixer to the operation to make it easier to include fodder in both of his daily feedings.

“Fodder is a good grass source and, with this system it can be grown at an amount that is convenient for any operation,” says Julie Bries, whose family agreed to grow and feed fodder as part of trial by a private company in the early stages of developing a commercial feeding system. With three of their four children involved in 4-H projects on their Worthington, Iowa Angus farm, the Bries began growing and feeding fodder to their show string that included six steers, two heifers and 12 hogs. According to Julie, the family’s show

Calves have a better chance of staying healthy during their first weeks of life if they get an adequate amount of good-quality colostrum soon after birth, containing antibodies against pathogens they may encounter. If the dam has a chance to build a high level of antibodies before calving, she can pass this temporary immunity to her calf. Preventing calfhood disease involves many factors, which include a clean environment (low level of pathogens for the calf to pick up) and well-nourished, healthy cows with strong immunities.

Vaccinating cows ahead of calving can help build peak antibody levels--so the cows’ colostrum contains the maximum amount of protective antibodies. Dr. Chris Chase, Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, South Dakota State University, says that when trying to improve colostrum quality in terms of timing (when to give the vaccine) it depends on the type of product used.

“It is important to have maximum titers a few weeks ahead of calving. Titer levels don’t tell you much in terms of protecting the cow, but the titer directly reflects what you’ll find in the colostrum. Antibodies are transported into the udder from the cow’s bloodstream,” he explains.

“The mammary gland has specialized receptors to snag the antibodies. Those receptors start to show up 4 to 6 weeks before parturition but their ability to concentrate antibodies is highest at about 2 to 3 weeks prior to calving. This is when you want the cow to have peak antibody titers.”

If you vaccinate too early and the cow reaches peak level at a month or more before calving, you miss that window. “The thing that’s important is the type of product you use. Vaccines that contain oil as an adjuvant will give antibody titers that last longer than the vaccines using a different type of adjuvant (such as alum). Your product choice may depend on when you have the opportunity to vaccinate the cows,” says Chase.

The vaccines that don’t use oil can get you into a problem if your calving season is long. A single vaccination might be adequate if calving season is short, but if it’s 60 days or longer, the cows calving toward the end will no longer have much

titer and their colostrum may contain very little antibody compared to cows calving in the first part of the season. If you used a product that doesn’t have an oil adjuvant, consider re-vaccinating any cows that have not yet calved, to boost their titers so their colostrum will be more protective for their calves.

“When dealing with oil-based products, however, you typically have to give those earlier (farther ahead of calving) than when using the other types of vaccines. Almost all products require a 2-dose series the first time (for heifers, and for any cows that have never had the pre-calving vaccination). When giving 2 doses to heifers, the first one needs to be at least 10 to 12 weeks away from calving, and the second one

about 4 to 6 weeks out from calving. In subsequent years you only need a single dose, which should be given 4 to 6 weeks before calving,” he explains.

“If you vaccinate only 2 weeks ahead of calving, the antibody titer won’t be very high yet. The cow won’t be able to produce enough antibodies to have good quality colostrum.”

There are some good products that protect calves against GI infections like rotavirus and coronavirus, E. coli, and

Clostridium perfringens type C and D. “There are advantages to using these to help prevent scours in baby calves. The big debate is in trying to prevent respiratory diseases by vaccinating calves rather than getting protection from maternal antibodies. Some producers will not vaccinate cows against BRSV because they are afraid the maternal antibodies the calf absorbs from colostrum will interfere with modified-live virus vaccines given to the calf,” says Chase.

“We now have products that can be given intranasally to the calf, with very little interference from maternal antibodies. Some people are not impressed with the IM or SubQ modified-live virus respiratory vaccines, particularly BRSV, in terms of protection acquired—because it can be so variable,” says Chase.

“The half-life of BRSV antibody, for whatever reason, seems to be more variable than the rest. Most are about 21 days (17 to 24 days) in terms of passive transfer antibodies. But BRSV has a bigger range (about 30-something down to

string had noticeably improved hair coats and the pigs gained exceptionally well on the high moisture fodder.

“The turnaround in growing was great,” said Julie. “The trial was just for two months, but we were happy with it. The cows were slow to begin eating fodder and we had to mix corn with it at first, but the calves loved it.”

“It is also a great way to improve the nutritional value of grain,” said son Patrick Bries, who as an animal science major at Iowa State University is keeping his eye on this up and coming practice.

“If you are showing cattle it’s something you ought to look at,” added Julie. “And economically, right now maybe it’s something people should consider.”

Fodder for ThoughtProponents of sprouted grain fodder report:• Increased milk production• Increased fertility• Improved overall herd health• Improved coat shine and condition• Decreased mineral supplement intake

The Fodder Growth Process:• Clean seed is soaked for up to 24 hours• Then Placed in trays and watered, either by mist or

flooding for 6 to 8 days. • New seed is started every day to maintain a daily feed

source.• When harvested, the fodder is rolled out of the trays

and fed either in traditional feed bunks, on the ground or can be mixed with dry forage and other feed stuffs.

Factrel®

GONADORELINHYDROCHLORIDEFor InjectionFor the treatment of cystic ovaries in cattle.

CAUTIONFederal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

DESCRIPTIONFACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) is a sterile solution containing 50 micrograms of synthetic gonadorelin (as hydrochloride) per mL in aqueous formulation containing 0.6% sodium chloride and 2% benzyl alcohol (as a preservative). Gonadorelin is the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which is produced by the hypothalamus and causes the release of the gonadotropin luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary. FACTREL (gonadorelin hydro-chloride) has the identical amino acid sequence as endogenous gonadorelin; 5-oxo Pro-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 with identical physiological activities. The molecular weight of gonadorelin is 1182 with a molecular formula of C55H75N17O13. The corresponding values for gonadorelin hydrochloride are 1219 (1 HCI) expressed as C55H75N17O13HCI, or 1255 (2 HCI) expressed as C55H75N17O13 2HCI.

MECHANISM OF ACTIONFollicular cysts are enlarged non-ovulatory follicles resulting from a malfunction of the neuroendocrine mechanism controlling follicular maturation and ovulation. Exogenous administration of agents possessing luteinizing hormone (LH) activity, such as pituitary extracts or human chorionic gonadotropin, often causes ovulation or regression of follicular cysts. FACTREL induces release of endogenous luteinizing hormone (LH) to produce this same effect. No significant differences have been demonstrated in days from treatment to conception, frequency of cows conceiving at first or subsequent heats, or conception rates among treated or non-treated control animals.

INDICATIONSFACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) is indicated for the treatment of ovarian follicular cysts in cattle. The treatment effect of FACTREL when used in cattle with ovarian follicular cysts is a reduction in the number of days to first estrus.

DOSAGEThe recommended dosage of FACTREL is 100 mcg/cow intramuscularly.

RESIDUE WARNINGBecause FACTREL is identical to endogenous GnRH such that both are rapidly metabolized without detectable levels in milk or tissue, no withdrawal period is required.

STORAGE CONDITIONSStore at refrigerator temperature 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F).

SAFETY AND TOXICITYIn cows the intramuscular administration of up to 25 times recommended dosage (2,500 mcg/day) of FACTREL for 3 days did not affect any physiological or clinical parameter. Likewise, single intramuscular doses of 5 times recommended dosage (500 mcg) did not interfere with pregnancy. No evidence of irritation at injection site was found in any animal.

HOW SUPPLIEDFACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) solution 50 mcg/mL is available in 20 mL multidose vials (box of one). NDC 0856-4311-02 – 20 mL – box of 1

LutaLyse®

brand of dinoprost tromethamine sterile solutionCaution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

For intramuscular use for estrous synchronization, treatment of unobserved (silent) estrus and pyometra (chronic endometritis) in cattle; for abortion of feedlot and other non-lactating cattle; for parturition induction in swine; and for controlling the timing of estrus in estrous cycling mares and clinically anestrous mares that have a corpus luteum.

INDICatIONs aND INstRuCtIONs FOR useCattle: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated as a luteolytic agent. LUTALYSE is effective only in those cattle having a corpus luteum, i.e., those which ovulated at least five days prior to treatment. Future reproductive performance of animals that are not cycling will be unaffected by injection of LUTALYSE. 1. For Intramuscular use for estrous synchronization in Beef Cattle and Non-Lactating Dairy Heifers. LUTALYSE is used to control the timing of estrus and ovulation in estrous cycling cattle that have a corpus luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly either once or twice at a 10 to 12 day interval. With the single injection, cattle should be bred at the usual time relative to estrus. With the two injections, cattle can be bred after the second injection either at the usual time relative to detected estrus or at about 80 hours after the second injection of LUTALYSE. Estrus is expected to occur 1 to 5 days after injection if a corpus luteum was present. Cattle that do not become pregnant to breeding at estrus on days 1 to 5 after injection will be expected to return to estrus in about 18 to 24 days. 2. For Intramuscular use for unobserved (silent) estrus in Lactating Dairy Cows with a Corpus Luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly. Breed cows as they are detected in estrus. If estrus has not been observed by 80 hours after injection, breed at 80 hours. If the cow returns to estrus breed at the usual time relative to estrus. Management Considerations: Many factors contribute to success and failure of reproduction management, and these factors are important also when time of breeding is to be regulated with LUTALYSE Sterile Solution. Some of these factors are: a. Cattle must be ready to breed — they must have a corpus luteum and be healthy; b. Nutritional status must be adequate as this has a direct effect on conception and the initiation of estrus in heifers or return of estrous cycles in cows following calving; c. Physical facilities must be adequate to allow cattle handling without being detrimental to the animal; d. Estrus must be detected accurately if timed Al is not employed; e. Semen of high fertility must be used; f. Semen must be inseminated properly. A successful breeding program can employ LUTALYSE effectively, but a poorly managed breeding program will continue to be poor when LUTALYSE is employed unless other management deficiencies are remedied first. Cattle expressing estrus following LUTALYSE are receptive to breeding by a bull. Using bulls to breed large numbers of cattle in heat following LUTALYSE will require proper management of bulls and cattle. 3. For Intramuscular use for treatment of Pyometra (chronic endometritis) in Cattle. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly. In studies conducted with LUTALYSE, pyometra was defined as presence of a corpus luteum in the ovary and uterine horns containing fluid but not a conceptus based on palpation per rectum. Return to normal was defined as evacuation of fluid and return of the uterine horn size to 40 mm or less based on palpation per rectum at 14 and 28 days. Most cattle that recovered in response to LUTALYSE recovered within 14 days after injection. After 14 days, recovery rate of treated cattle was no different than that of nontreated cattle. 4. For Intramuscular use for abortion of Feedlot and Other Non-Lactating Cattle. LUTALYSE is indicated for its abortifacient effect in feedlot and other non-lactating cattle during the first 100 days of gestation. Inject a dose of 25 mg intramuscularly. Cattle that abort will abort within 35 days of injection. Commercial cattle were palpated per rectum for pregnancy in six feedlots. The percent of pregnant cattle in each feedlot less than 100 days of gestation ranged between 26 and 84; 80% or more of the pregnant cattle were less than 150 days of gestation. The abortion rates following injection of LUTALYSE increased with increasing doses up to about 25 mg. As examples, the abortion rates, over 7 feedlots on the dose titration study, were 22%, 50%, 71%, 90% and 78% for cattle up to 100 days of gestation when injected IM with LUTALYSE doses of 0,1 (5 mg), 2 (10 mg), 4 (20 mg) and 8 (40 mg) mL, respectively. The statistical predicted relative abortion rate based on the dose titration data, was about 93% for the 5 mL (25 mg) LUTALYSE dose for cattle injected up to 100 days of gestation. swine: For intramuscular use for parturition induction in swine. LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated for parturition induction in swine when injected within 3 days of normal predicted farrowing. The response to treatment varies by individual animals with a mean interval from administration of 2 mL LUTALYSE (10 mg dinoprost) to parturition of approximately 30 hours. This can be employed to control the time of farrowing in sows and gilts in late gestation. Management Considerations: Several factors must be considered for the successful use of LUTALYSE Sterile Solution for parturition induction in swine. The product must be admini- stered at a relatively specific time (treatment earlier than 3 days prior to normal predicted farrowing may result in increased piglet mortality). It is important that adequate records be maintained on (1) the average length of gestation period for the animals on a specific location, and (2) the breeding and projected farrowing dates for each animal. This information is essential to determine the appropriate time for administration of LUTALYSE. Mares: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated for its luteolytic effect in mares. This lutelytic effect can be utilized to control the timing of estrus in estrous cycling and clinically anestrous mares that have a corpus luteum in the following circumstances: 1. Controlling time of estrus of estrous Cycling Mares: Mares treated with LUTALYSE during diestrus (4 or more days after ovulation) will return to estrus within 2 to 4 days in most cases and ovulate 8 to 12 days after treatment. This procedure may be utilized as an aid to scheduling the use of stallions. 2. Difficult-to-Breed Mares: In extended diestrus there is failure to exhibit regular estrous cycles, which is different from true anestrus. Many mares described as anestrus during the breeding season have serum progesterone levels consistent with the presence of a functional corpus luteum. A proportion of “barren”, maiden, and lactating mares do not exhibit regular estrous cycles and may be in extended diestrus. Following abortion, early fetal death and re-sorption, or as a result of “pseudopregnancy,” there may be serum progesterone levels consistent with a functional corpus luteum. Treatment of such mares with LUTALYSE usually results in regression of the corpus luteum followed by estrus and/or ovulation. In one study with 122 Standardbred and Thoroughbred mares in clinical anestrus for an average of 58 days and treated during the breeding season, behavioral estrus was detected in 81 percent at an average time of 3.7 days after injection with 5 mg LUTALYSE; ovulation occurred an average of 7.0 days after treatment. Of those mares bred, 59% were pregnant following an average of 1.4 services during that estrus. Treatment of “anestrous” mares, which abort subsequent to 36 days of pregnancy, may not result in return to estrus due to presence of functional endometrial cups.

useR saFety (HuMaN WaRNINGs) Not for human use. Women of childbearing age, asthmatics, and persons with bronchial and other respiratory problems should exercise extreme caution when handling this product. In the early stages, women may be unaware of their pregnancies. Dinoprost tromethamine is readily absorbed through the skin and can cause abortion. Accidental spillage on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water.

ResIDue INFORMatION No milk discard or preslaughter drug withdrawal period is required for labeled uses in cattle. No preslaughter drug withdrawal period is required for labeled uses in swine. Use of this product in excess of the approved dose may result in drug residues. Not for horses intended for human consumption.

aNIMaL saFety (WaRNINGs) Severe localized clostridial infections associated with injection of LUTALYSE have been reported. In rare instances, such infections have resulted in death. Aggressive antibiotic therapy should be employed at the first sign of infection at the injection site whether localized or diffuse.

PReCautIONs• Do not administer intravenously (I.V.) as this route may potentiate adverse reactions.• No vial stopper should be entered more than 20 times. For this reason, the 100 mL bottle should only be used for cattle. The 30 mL bottle may be used for cattle, swine, or mares.• As with all parenteral products, careful aseptic techniques should be used to decrease the possibility of post-injection bacterial infections. The vial stopper should be cleaned and disinfected prior to needle entry. Only sterile needles should be used and the same needle should not be used more than once.• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may inhibit prostaglandin synthesis; therefore this class of drugs should not be administered concurrently.Cattle: Do not administer to pregnant cattle, unless abortion is desired. Cattle administered a progestogen would be expected to have a reduced response to LUTALYSE Sterile Solution.swine: Do not administer to sows and/or gilts prior to 3 days of normal predicted farrowing as an increased number of stillbirths and postnatal mortality may result.Mares: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is ineffective when administered prior to day-5 after ovulation. Pregnancy status should be determined prior to treatment since LUTALYSE has been reported to induce abortion and parturition when sufficient doses were administered. Mares should not be treated if they suffer from either acute or subacute disorders of the vascular system, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, or reproductive tract.

aDVeRse ReaCtIONsCattle: Limited salivation has been reported in some instances.swine: The most frequently observed side effects were erythema and pruritus, slight incoordination, nesting behavior, itching, urination, defecation, abdominal muscle spasms, tail movements, hyperpnea or dyspnea, increased vocalization, salivation, and at the 100 mg (10X) dose only, possible vomiting. These side effects are transitory, lasting from 10 minutes to 3 hours, and were not detrimental to the health of the animal.Mares: The most frequently observed side effects are sweating and decreased rectal temperature. However, these have been transient in all cases observed and have not been detrimental to the animal. Other reactions seen have been increase in heart rate, increase in respiration rate, some abdominal discomfort, locomotor incoordination, and lying down. These effects are usually seen within 15 minutes of injection and disappear within one hour. Mares usually continue to eat during the period of expression of side effects. One anaphylactic reaction of several hundred mares treated with LUTALYSE Sterile Solution was reported but was not confirmed.
