Matrix

Post by ally_paige28 » Mon May 29, 2017 11:10 pm

I'm using Matrix for the first time and have heard nothing but good things. The only thing that concerns me a little is the 4-9 day period that the hog could come into estrus after the 14 day treatment. 4-9 days is quite a difference and as we all know timing is the key when planning to AI. My question is..what is the average day most of you have seen a hog come into estrus after the 14 day treatment ???

I've heard that doing 15 days of treatment guys are getting more consistent results. I have used 15 days and mine came in on days 3 & 4 as well

My research showed 85% came into heat between day 3 and 4. I was considering using it a few weeks ago and after talking with a vet on a large hog operation, they recommended 15 days of Matrix and day 16 pg600. Day 18 or 19 should be in heat.
