Efficacy of Lutalyse® as an Abortifacient in Feedlot Heifers

Simms, D.; Kuhl, Gerry L.; Tonn, S.; Schalles, R.
Lutalyse aborted 86.7% of heifers 40 to 100 days pregnant. Of four heifers

tested at 101 to 150 days pregnant, all aborted. Open heifers gained faster

(P<.05) than heifers that either were aborted or pregnant at slaughter. Those

pregnant at slaughter had lower (P<.05) dressing percentages than either open or

aborted heifers.
