Control of estrus and level of serum progesterone in swine by oral administration of altrenogest

A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Altrenogest (AT), a synthetic progesterone, for control of estrus in swine. Forty-four gilts and sows which had shown estrus at least once were randomly assigned to four different treatment groups with feeding of 2.5kg of feed per head per day, which...

Abstract A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Altrenogest (AT), a synthetic progesterone, for control of estrus in swine. Forty-four gilts and sows which had shown estrus at least once were randomly assigned to four different treatment groups with feeding of 2.5kg of feed per head per day, which contained 4 different levels of AT of 5, 10, 15 and 20mg, for 18 consecutive days. Gilts and sows were checked twice a day for signs of estrus after withdrawal of AT, and were bred either by artificial insemination with fresh semen or by natural service. Concentration of progesterone in serum was determined by enzyme-immunoassay. Blood samples were collected from 19 gilts and sows on days before, during and after AT administration. 1) Estrus was suppressed during treatment by AT administration in all the doses. Estrus after withdrawal of AT was effectively controlled in gilts and sows given 10mg, 15mg and 20mg of AT, whereas the feeding of 5mg of AT resulted in increased incidences of anestrus (10 and 15mg: P<0.05, 20mg: P<0.01). The interval of estrus tended to become longer as the dose was raised. The conception rate and litter size were 75.0%, 9.8±3.4 and 75.0%, 9.4±3.1 for gilts and sows fed 15mg and 20mg, respectively. 2) The concentrations of progesterone in serum were higher (15.1-53.6ng/ml) during the luteal phase, decreased by day 17 of the estrus cycle and remained on a low level (<1.3ng/ml) through the estrus in all of the treated groups. Progesterone levels in blood following regression of corpora lutea remained on a low level during treatment with AT. Mean serum progesterone concentrations remained low by day 6 to 7 after the withdrawal of AT, but increased from 10.0ng/ml to 15.8ng/ml on day 9 to 10 after the withdrawal of AT in all of the treated groups except the 5mg group. (10 and 20mg: P<0.001, 15 mg: P<0.05). However, serum progesterone concentrations in the 5mg group continued to gradually rise up from the day of AT withdrawal up to day 9 or 10 after the AT withdrawal. The results of the present study revealed that AT, when given in feeding in doses of 15 or 20mg/head/day for 18 consecutive days, effectively controlled the occurrences of estrus in swine without exerting any adverse effect upon their fertility.
