SwineMate^® (altrenogest)

SwineMate^® (altrenogest) is a progestin-based solution designed for use in swine to aid in the synchronization of estrus in sexually mature gilts. SwineMate^® contains altrenogest, a synthetic hormone that mimics natural progesterone, helping to suppress estrus until the desired breeding time. It is conveniently administered as a top dressing on feed, making it easy to incorporate into daily feeding routines. This product provides a practical and effective solution to optimize breeding efficiency and reproductive success in swine.

Treatment with SwineMate^® results in estrus (standing heat) 4 to 9 days after completion of the 14-day treatment period.

Ingredients: Altrenogest solution 0.22% (2.2 mg/mL)

Rx: Available to customers with valid prescriptions

Indications: For synchronization of estrus in sexually mature gilts that have had at least one estrous cycle. Treatment with SwineMate® results in estrus (standing heat) 4 to 9 days after completion of the 14-day treatment period.

Dosage and Administration: Administer 6.8 mL (15 mg altrenogest) per gilt once daily for 14 consecutive days.
