Re: History of Cystic sows question
I am curious about the cause of this as well. We had one sow do the same thing. Everything I read about cystic follicles was that they can occur naturally or due to low levels of hormonal intervention. So, too small a dose of matrix is a common one in show gilts. Regardless of cause, what we did hel...

Re: Estromate VS Lutalyse
Not quite sure what you’re asking, but if you are wanting to know the difference, they’re essentially the same thing. Both are synthetic prostaglandins, the only difference is going to be oil based vs water based. In terms of your “silent heat” issue, I’m not buying it. If she’s too young, she may n...
