[Experience of cloprostenol (Estrumate) in dairy cattle (author's transl)]

Satisfactory results were obtained using estrumate in the following indications: (1) induction of oestrus in cows not showing any symptoms of oestrus; (2) treatment of cows with chronic endometritis; (3) expulsion of mummified foetuses; (4) termination of early pregnancy; (5) synchronisation of oestrus in heifers. It is conlcuded that estrumate may be regarded as a valuable addition to the armamentarium of therapy available to the veterinarian.
