Abstract
Two cases of bovine fetal mummification were treated with a single intramuscular injection of 500 μg cloprostenol. Plasma progesterone levels fell rapidly within 24 hours following injection from a mean level of 10.45 ng/ml to 1.05 ng/ml. Extradiol-17β levels were variable and low ( x = 3.04 pg/ml ) during the 120-hour postinjection sampling period. The mummies were delivered at 104 and 120 hours postinjection. Both were expelled into the vagina and traction was required to complete removal from the genital tract. No adverse reactions which could be attributed to cloprostenol treatment were observed.
