P.G. 600 Injection Benefits

The Swine Reproductive Tool

• Combination of PMSG and hCG mimics naturally occurring reproductive hormones, FSH and LH
• Induces heat in prepuberal gilts and weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus
• 89% of sows treated with P.G. 600 exhibit signs of estrus within four to five days of weaning¹
• Within 28 days of treatment, 72.9% of the gilts treated with P.G. 600 had been detected in heat compared with 59.5% of the non-treated gilts²
• Treatment with P.G. 600 increased the percentage of sows in estrus within seven (57.5 vs 40.9%) or 28 days (72.9 vs 59.5%); average interval to estrus was reduced (0.05 from 10.4 to 7.5 days)³
• Reduction of non-productive days reduces feed costs and improves pig flow, which leads to improved productivity

PG 600 Content

PG 600 contains per dose 400 IU serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and 200 IU chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in freeze-dried form with solvent presented in vials of 5 ml and 25 ml sterile solvent for injection.

This vaccine is used to improve reproductive efficiency in swine. Specifically, it helps more prepubertal gilts and weaned sows cycle on schedule — primarily in the summer when pig markets are higher.

How P.G. 600 Works

P.G. 600 contains serum gonadotropin and chorionic gonadotropin, which work to mimic the naturally occurring follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones.

The injection induces the estrus cycle in female pigs, making them sexually receptive. Following a P.G. 600 injection, estrus can occur within three to seven days. Neuromax 1.5% 50ml

Important Specifications for Pigs

When using P.G. 600, keep the following precautions in mind:

• This medication should be stored at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Only use the injection for healthy swine. It’s not for pigs that are already pregnant.
• P.G. 600 should only be used on pigs at or older than  5 ½ months and weighing 187 pounds or more.
• Once opened, the entirety of the product should be used — please do not store it for later use.

Directions for Use:

Prepuberal gilts should be injected when they are selected for addition to the breeding herd. Sows should be injected at weaning during periods of delayed return to estrus.

Using a sterile syringe and a sterile 0.90 x 38 mm (20 G x 1 ½”) hypodermic needle, transfer approximately 5 ml of the sterile diluent into the vial of freeze-dried powder. Shake gently to dissolve the powder. Transfer the dissolved product back into the vial of diluent and shake gently to mix. Inject one dose (5 ml) into the gilt or sow’s neck behind the ear.

 

Cautions:

Treatment will not induce estrus in gilts that have already reached puberty (begun to cycle). Gilts that are less than 5½ months of age or that weigh less than 85 kg (187 lb) may not be mature enough to continue normal estrus cycles or maintain a normal pregnancy to full term after treatment.

Treatment will not induce estrus in sows that are returning to estrus normally 3 to 7 days after weaning. Delayed return to estrus is most prevalent after the first litter; the effectiveness of P.G. 600 has not been established after later litters. Delayed return to estrus often occurs during periods of adverse environmental conditions, and sows mated under such conditions may farrow smaller than normal litters.
