automatic syringe equipment, or a suitable draw-off needle, should be used for the
20 ml and 50 ml vials to avoid excessive puncturing of the closure.
Special information
Cattle:
For oestrus and ovulation synchronization and timed artificial insemination (AI) in
cattle the so called “Ovsynch-procedure” was developed, which consists of the
combined use of GnRH and PGF2α. The following timed AI protocol has been
commonly reported in the literature:
Day 0:Inject 100 micrograms of Gonadorelin6-D-Phe
per animal
(2 ml of the product)
Day 7:Inject PGF2 or analogue (luteolytic dose)Day 9:Inject 100 micrograms of Gonadorelin6-D-Phe
per animal
(2 ml of the product)
AI:16 – 20 hours later, or at observed oestrus if
sooner
The Ovsynch-procedure may not be as efficacious in heifers as in cows.
Pigs:
The ovulation synchronization system includes the administration of Peforelin or
PMSG after the end of oestrus synchronisation with Altrenogest in gilts or after the
weaning in adult sows and two timed artificial inseminations. In adult sows the time
table depends on the duration of the suckling period. The following procedures are
recommended:

* The preferred dose of Gonavet Veyx in gilts is 50 micrograms Gonadorelin[6-D-
Phe]. However, the dose may be adjusted within the range of 50 - 75 micrograms to
take into account farm-specific aspects or seasonal influences. The proposed time
table should be strictly kept.
** The preferred dose of Gonavet Veyx in adult sows is 50 micrograms
Gonadorelin[6-D-Phe]. However, the administration of 25 micrograms is also
sufficient in case of sows with sow parity of more than 3 or during the mating period
of September until May. The proposed time table should be strictly kept.
Do not use in cows with a mature tertiary follicle ready to ovulate.
Do not use during infectious diseases and other relevant health disorders.
Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
excipients.

Revised May 2020
AN: 00676/2019
None known.
To maximise conception rates of cows to be treated with GnRH-PGF2α based
synchronization protocols, the ovarian status should be determined and regular cyclic
ovarian activity confirmed. Optimal results will be achieved in healthy normally cycling
cows.

Special precautions for use in animals
None.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
Administration should be performed with caution in order to avoid accidental self-
injection. In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and
show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. As GnRH analogues can be
absorbed through the skin, accidental spillage onto skin or into the eyes should be
thoroughly rinsed off with water. The veterinary medicinal product should not be
administered by pregnant women. Women of child-bearing potential should
administer the product with caution. People with known hypersensitivity to GnRH
should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
A synergistic effect occurs in case of combined administration with FSH, especially in
case of a disturbed puerperal course. Simultaneous use of human or equine
chorionic gonadotropin may lead to ovarian over-stimulation.
Store in a refrigerator (2 °C - 8 °C). Keep the vial in the outer carton in order to
protect from light.
Do not store above 25 °C after opening.
Cattle, pigs, horses Meat and offal: Zero days
Cattle, horses Milk: Zero hours
