CEVA says the gonadotropin product has a very innovative, unique formulation allowing it to be used in sows up to four weeks after its original reconstitution.

Managing reproduction on the farm is one of the keys to profitable and sustainable swine production. Having sufficient quantities of reproductive hormones on hand, in the right dose sizes is often a real headache, Fertipig will give swine producers more flexibility and in some cases cut waste.

Dr Nicolas Guerra, Ceva’s Corporate Range Manager commented: “We decided to use the slogan 'power with control' to describe Fertipig, as that is exactly what the product does.

“Pig producers will now have the benefits of a powerful, high quality product, but one that can also be used up to four weeks after its reconstitution, making the management of drug inventories far more convenient for producers.”
