CIDR Sheep Intravaginal Inserts: Advanced Estrus Synchronization for Optimal Breeding

The CIDR (Controlled Internal Drug Release) Sheep Intravaginal Insert is a highly effective veterinary pharmaceutical developed by Zoetis, specifically designed for estrus synchronization in sheep and goats. Each insert contains 0.3 grams of progesterone, a critical hormone that plays a central role in regulating the reproductive cycle. This innovative product empowers producers and veterinarians to implement precise breeding programs, leading to enhanced reproductive efficiency and improved flock management.

Benefits of Use

• Optimizes estrus synchronization: Enables a predictable and controlled breeding schedule for your flock.
• Facilitates Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI): Allows for efficient AI without the need for estrus detection.
• Improves breeding efficiency: Helps achieve higher conception rates and more concentrated lambing periods.
• Supports herd health management: Contributes to better overall reproductive health and productivity within the flock.
• Flexible application: Can be integrated into various breeding protocols to suit specific farm needs.

How to Use

1. Ensure the CIDR applicator is clean and disinfected before use.
2. Fold the CIDR insert so the two wings are together and load it into the applicator, ensuring the tail protrudes from the end of the applicator.
3. Gently lift the tail of the ewe and carefully insert the applicator into the vagina, guiding it forward until resistance is met.
4. Depress the plunger of the applicator to release the CIDR insert into the vagina. The tail should remain visible outside the vulva for easy removal.
5. The CIDR insert is typically left in place for 5-7 days, as per veterinary guidance and specific breeding protocols.
6. To remove, gently pull on the protruding tail until the insert is extracted. Dispose of used inserts responsibly.
