Product Description
OvaMed Solution is a groundbreaking new way to suppress estrus in males. OvaMed uses a 0.22% concentration of altrenogest, which is proven to be highly effective in suppressing estrus. This allows for predictable estrus after drug withdrawal, making it much easier to transition from winter anestrus to the normal breeding season. Additionally, OvaMed's suppression of estrus makes it possible to prolong the management of the estrus condition. Whether you're a breeder looking for an edge on the competition, or a rancher who needs to keep your herd under control, OvaMed is the perfect solution. So don't wait any longer, try OvaMed today!

Overview
Put on a pair of protective gloves. Remove the seal and shipping cap. Replace the cap with the included plastic dispensing cap. Remove the cover from the dispensing tip, then connect a luer lock syringe without needle. Draw out the proper volume of OvaMed Solution. Never remove the syringe when the bottle is inverted. Spillage can result. Detach the syringe, then orally administer 1mL for every 110 pounds of body weight daily for 15 days in a row. Administer over the grain ration or directly at the base of the tongue of the mare. Replace the cover on the dispensing tip to prevent leaks. Replace the syringe as needed (excessive syringe use can cause sticking). Pregnant women and women who suspect that they might be pregnant should not handle this drug. Remove the bottle and unit from the package. Take the cap off of the bottle, then screw the bottle into the diffuser at the bottom. Plug the diffuser in. Make sure the outlet is functioning correctly and that it is 120 volts. Replace the bottle after 60 days. Replace the entire diffuser unit every 6 months. A single bottle of Feliway MultiCat or Feliway provides about 60 days of coverage for a 500-to 700-square-foot area.
