Abstract

Aitrenogest (17 α -allyl-17-hydroxyestra-4,9,11-trien-3-one; Regumate Porcine; Hoechst Animal Health) is a synthetic progestagen which has been used to control and synchronise the ovarian cycle particularly in cyclic gilts. However progestagens have also been used in various species to induce and synchronise the first ovulation post partum. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of altrenogest treatment on the reproductive performance of primiparous sows.
