VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Join Us! Let your voice be heard

Each year BEEF Magazine conducts a readers survey testing the pulse of the

industry. The most recent poll, while unscientific, provided some interesting responses. We all are aware of the rapid contraction of our nation’s cowherd due to widespread drought. As a result, millions of cows have been taken out of production and replacements turned into feedlot heifers, rather than herd replacements. Yet, according to the BEEF survey, only 0.5% plan to get out of the cow business and not retire, while only 0.5% plan to exit the business due to retirement. Our industry can’t afford to lose any producer, young or old. Attrition is a reality, but with such a small percentage of the country’s population directly

parentage. On the other hand, research, marketing and communication programs and services are moving targets. These programs must constantly be evaluated, updated, executed and monitored. There’s much discussion about transparency throughout the production food chain. Transparency is equally important within our breed association. Your board of directors meet in the spring and fall each year. The board is made up of Charolais breeders. The issues discussed today are complicated and require objective input, careful thought and real world solutions. Like any well-run business, periodically, there’s a need to reassess and redirect based on economic or industry signals. As a board and staff, we can only do so much to ensure transparency. The

Transparency is equally important within our breed association... join in and let your voice be heard at the AICA’s 2013 Annual Membership Meeting and Spring Board of Directors Meeting.” involved in farming and ranching, every lost cow-calf operation is tragic for multiple reasons. The loss of a rural family to the city has far a reaching impact and none of it good for production agriculture. The same BEEF survey does provides more good news—at least for seedstock producers. More than 25% of the respondents indicate they expect to pay more for bulls in 2013. The respondents’ indicating they expect to pay more, indicate they expect prices may increase 10-20%. This is being confirmed by early bull sales. More good news, yet no surprise—producers remain optimistic. No one believes sustaining or growing their operations will be easy. Yet, when parched pastures throughout the mid-section of the country get sufficient rain, opportunities will exist in almost every segment of the beef business. The American-International Charolais Association, like all breed registries, has been in constant state of transformation or redefining for almost a decade. In the beginning, protecting and preserving breed purity and history was the primary role of breed associations. Today, protecting and preserving is still important to AICA. However, research, marketing, communication, youth programs and industry collaboration are vital to the growth of Charolais across the country. Sophisticated systems are in place, and have been for years, to prove

fact remains that if only a few show up to participate, transparency is limited. Decisions must be made and those willing to show up and invest their time and energy in the process become the decision makers. Now is the time to join in and let your voice be heard at the AICA’s 2013 Annual Membership Meeting and Spring Board of Directors Meeting. Your opportunity to do so is scheduled for Sunday, March 24 and Monday, March 25, at the Argosy Casino-Hotel and Spa, Riverside, Missouri. It may seem repetitive, but the fact the AICA board works diligently to stay abreast of the beef industry and act in the best interest of Charolais, can’t be overstated. The registered seedstock sector gets more complicated every day and that complexity transcends every sector all the way to the consumer. The Charolais breed and AICA are in an excellent position. The breed has played a vital role in meat production for three-quarters of a century. Unlike some breeds, Charolais is not geographically limited and our message should not be, either. The spring board meetings are open. A meeting schedule and information can be found on pages 18 and 19 of this issue. You are encouraged to attend and participate.

AICA Recording Secretary

Enroll Your Females Don’t let the enrollment deadline pass you by!

Your 2013 female inventories are due April 1st.

All members that want to participate in AICA’s performance programs must have their active females enrolled. The female enrollments can be complete by returning the enrollment forms to the office with the active female clearly marked, or the enrollment can be done on-line. Many members find on-line enrollments an easy way to complete the enrollment process while saving time and postage. Log in with your breeder number and password, click into the “my inventory” button to get started! The fee to enroll in the Whole Herd Rewards (WHR) program is $14 per female until April 1st; the fee goes up to $17 after that. There is no fee to enroll females into the Performance Plus Rewards (PPR) program, you will however pay the traditional registration and transfer fees on the calves depending on their age. If you process your enrollment on-line, please do not return the forms. AICA has been working to build a research database of 50K genotypes. This database will serve as the research base to help make DNA part of genomically enhanced EPDs for the Charolais breed. The initial recommendation for AICA to move forward is to establish a research database on 1,000 progeny proven sires. There is a list of specific animals that have already been tested posted on the website. There is also a list of desired sires that do not have the 50K genotype. This list was made available to us through the Animal Breeding faculty at Iowa State University. Check the website for more information and contact AICA regarding sample collection and submission of samples. The AICA’s dam of distinction program recognizes dams that have consistently weaned calves with above average weaning weights and have been regular producers with 380 days or less calving intervals. A list of AICA’s newly added dams of distinction is on the website. Please check the list to see if you have a female that qualifies. These records are marked with an “asterisk” (*) on the website.

Hi Everyone! My name is Mason Lewis. I’m from Monroe, Iowa and am currently serving as your AIJCA Area 5 Director. I’ve been showing Charolais cattle since my first bottle calf at the age of five and have enjoyed the Charolais breed ever since. This year I’m a sophomore at Iowa State University pursuing a major in Agronomy.

at Junior Nationals, but a few come to mind like Taylor your most rewarding experience? Schotte, Echo Nord, and Chelsea Woodcock. I believe A: I would say making friends with AIJCA members I met all of these people at my third Junior Nationals in from all around the country has been my most rewarding Wichita Falls, TX; where for those of you who don’t know experience. Not everybody can say they have friends that or remember, it flooded the barns that year. live hundreds of miles away. I feel that having all of these friends has made me a well-rounded person and I have a Q: What are you studying in college and how did better appreciation for the Charolais breed because of it. you choose that major?

Area 2 Abbey Thiel Isabel, SD (605) 848-0712

When was your first Charolais Junior A: As I said earlier, I’m majoring in Agronomy at Iowa National and which has been your favorite since? State University. I decided on this major because of my FFA experiences in high school. While in FFA I participated in A: I attended my first Junior Nationals in Hutchinson, multiple CDEs (Career Developmental Events). My favorite Kansas in 2005. Looking back though, my favorite was in was the Agronomy CDE. During my sophomore year, my California. I enjoyed California the best because I made team and I went to the state competition and placed the most friends there and have some great memories that first overall. Later, during my junior year, my team and I I will never forget, even though it was a smaller crowd. participated in the national competition and the National Convention in Indianapolis, IN, where we placed 8th Q: What does being a member of the AIJCA mean FFA overall. to you? A: Being an AIJCA member means to me that I have Q: Where would you like to travel to some day?

Area 4 Macie Wagstaff Price, TX (903) 646-5220

to be a positive beef advocate for the Charolais industry A: I would like to travel to Australia some day because I and the cattle industry as a whole. It also means spending have always thought that the scenery looked beautiful and time and making memories with friends that love showing they would have wonderful weather. I also would like to go Charolais cattle. to a ranch and a row crop or small grain farm while I was If I went to Australia I of course would also Q: What would you tell Charolais juniors who inloveAustralia. to see a kangaroo in its natural habitat. are considering attending this year’s Charolais Junior National in Texarkana, Arkansas? Q: What do you enjoy doing for fun?

A: I would tell them that they should attend because A: When I’m not at a cattle show, I keep busy hanging out after attending your life will be forever changed and you with friends, participating in clubs, playing videogames, won’t want to ever miss another Junior Nationals! Junior working on the family farm, and going to the occasional Nationals has been my favorite week of the year for the Iowa State sporting event.

Any program can breed cattle by the numbers using computer evaluations, but how many select for the details beyond the numbers? It’s been said "the devil is in the details" For several decades Raile Charolais cow herd has been genetically evaluated for economic traits not measured by the computer. Disposition, structure, feet and legs, udders, fleshing ability and motherhood are traits needed to ensure longevity in the breeding animal. These heifers possess those traits. I cannot over emphasize that these are from the "TOP END"of our replacement pen. We DO NOT creep feed. Many of the heifers are out of Finks 2250 daughters. 2250 is a trait leader for Milk- ranked 8th- and is in the top 7% for Marbling. For those interested in EPDs, this group of heifers averaged WW-top 25%, YW-top 20% and top 30% for Milk. Loin-eye and Marbling EPD top 35%. They cover all the basis and should make good brood cows--with high predictability.

Charolais Sale and 44th National

Charolais Show Fort Worth, Texas

highly competitive exhibition of Charolais cattle representing exhibitors and consignors from 21 states and Canada welcomed cattlemen to the 117th edition of the historic Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo for the National Charolais Events. An active and spirited crowd kicked off the National events with the 34th National Sale averaging $11,650 on live lots, February 1. One of the largest crowds of spectators during the week of sixteen breed shows in Fort Worth — by all accounts, Charolais breeders from 28 states, Canada, Mexico and Brazil — was on hand for the 44th National Show, February 2. The Fort Worth Stock Show’s mission to “facilitate interest in cattle” was truly evident based on Charolais breed activity.

44th National Show Dedicatee: LeRoy Lines, Wee Lines Charolais, Iowa LeRoy purchased his first purebred Charolais bull and began building his own herd with his wife, LaDonna in 1974. He became a member of the AICA and the Iowa Charolais Breeders Association. LeRoy served as advisor of the Iowa Junior Charolais Association from 1994-2012. He travelled to many Junior National Shows with his daughters and later as a chaperone with Iowa Juniors. He was most proud of the 2008 Junior National hosted by the Iowa Juniors where he was honored as the 2008 AIJCA Advisor of the Year. 54 

M A R C H 2013

Currently LeRoy and LaDonna reside in Olathe, Kan. to be closer to their grandkids. As he reflected on his accomplishments, he said with a proud smile, “As a school teacher, 4-H leader and junior advisor my whole life, it’s fun to watch young kids go in and come out with so much personal growth. Many of my juniors have become leaders and breeders. I’m very proud of them.” LeRoy is a great example of how breeders working with our juniors are developing our industry and society’s next generation of leaders.

CHAROLAIS Facts:

DeBruycker charolais cattle excel

“I purchased 10 purebred Angusbred heifers and a bull from a reputable Kansas breeder; at the same time I purchased purebred DeBruycker Charolais bred-heifers and a bull. The Angus heifers look good, but they simply do not compare to the DeBruycker cattle. My wife even says she wishes the Angus would look as good as the DeBruycker Charolais cattle. We appreciate the quality of the DeBruycker cattle.” ~ Jeff Graham, East Dublin, GA

Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE™ (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species. When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios. Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE™ (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.

The cows were slow to begin eating fodder and we had to mix corn with it at first, but the calves loved it.” “It is also a great way to improve the nutritional value of grain,” said son Patrick Bries, who as an animal science major at Iowa State University is keeping his eye on this up and coming practice. “If you are showing cattle it’s something you ought to look at,” added Julie. “And economically, right now maybe it’s something people should consider.” Resources: http://foddersolutionsnw.com/img/slashcosts.pdf http://www.americandairymen.com/print/1935 http://www.extension.org/pages/65651/barley-fodder- feeding-for-organic-dairies-webinar Fodder for Thought Proponents of sprouted grain fodder report: • Increased milk production • Increased fertility • Improved overall herd health • Improved coat shine and condition • Decreased mineral supplement intake

The Fodder Growth Process: • Clean seed is soaked for up to 24 hours • Then Placed in trays and watered, either by mist or flooding for 6 to 8 days. • New seed is started every day to maintain a daily feed source. • When harvested, the fodder is rolled out of the trays and fed either in traditional feed bunks, on the ground or can be mixed with dry forage and other feed stuffs.

Breed cattle on your schedule, instead of theirs. With Eazi-Breed™ CIDR® Cattle Insert and LUTALYSE® (dinoprost tromethamine) Sterile Solution, it’s easy to tighten heat cycle timing. So you can breed groups of cattle in a narrow window. And FACTREL® (gonadorelin hydrochloride) Sterile Solution helps treat ovarian cysts to return cattle to estrus faster. All of which helps shorten the calving season so you get more nights of uninterrupted sleep.

GONADORELIN HYDROCHLORIDE For Injection For the treatment of cystic ovaries in cattle. CAUTION Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. DESCRIPTION FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) is a sterile solution containing 50 micrograms of synthetic gonadorelin (as hydrochloride) per mL in aqueous formulation containing 0.6% sodium chloride and 2% benzyl alcohol (as a preservative). Gonadorelin is the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which is produced by the hypothalamus and causes the release of the gonadotropin luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary. FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) has the identical amino acid sequence as endogenous gonadorelin; 5-oxo Pro-His-Trp-Ser-TyrGly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 with identical physiological activities. The molecular weight of gonadorelin is 1182 with a molecular formula of C55H75N17O13. The corresponding values for gonadorelin hydrochloride are 1219 (1 HCI) expressed as C55H75N17O13HCI, or 1255 (2 HCI) expressed as C55H75N17O13 2HCI. MECHANISM OF ACTION Follicular cysts are enlarged non-ovulatory follicles resulting from a malfunction of the neuroendocrine mechanism controlling follicular maturation and ovulation. Exogenous administration of agents possessing luteinizing hormone (LH) activity, such as pituitary extracts or human chorionic gonadotropin, often causes ovulation or regression of follicular cysts. FACTREL induces release of endogenous luteinizing hormone (LH) to produce this same effect. No significant differences have been demonstrated in days from treatment to conception, frequency of cows conceiving at first or subsequent heats, or conception rates among treated or non-treated control animals. INDICATIONS FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) is indicated for the treatment of ovarian follicular cysts in cattle. The treatment effect of FACTREL when used in cattle with ovarian follicular cysts is a reduction in the number of days to first estrus.

INDICatIONs aND INstRuCtIONs FOR use Cattle: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated as a luteolytic agent. LUTALYSE is effective only in those cattle having a corpus luteum, i.e., those which ovulated at least five days prior to treatment. Future reproductive performance of animals that are not cycling will be unaffected by injection of LUTALYSE. 1. For Intramuscular use for estrous synchronization in Beef Cattle and Non-Lactating Dairy Heifers. LUTALYSE is used to control the timing of estrus and ovulation in estrous cycling cattle that have a corpus luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly either once or twice at a 10 to 12 day interval. With the single injection, cattle should be bred at the usual time relative to estrus. With the two injections, cattle can be bred after the second injection either at the usual time relative to detected estrus or at about 80 hours after the second injection of LUTALYSE. Estrus is expected to occur 1 to 5 days after injection if a corpus luteum was present. Cattle that do not become pregnant to breeding at estrus on days 1 to 5 after injection will be expected to return to estrus in about 18 to 24 days. 2. For Intramuscular use for unobserved (silent) estrus in Lactating Dairy Cows with a Corpus Luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly. Breed cows as they are detected in estrus. If estrus has not been observed by 80 hours after injection, breed at 80 hours. If the cow returns to estrus breed at the usual time relative to estrus. Management Considerations: Many factors contribute to success and failure of reproduction management, and these factors are important also when time of breeding is to be regulated with LUTALYSE Sterile Solution. Some of these factors are: a. Cattle must be ready to breed — they must have a corpus luteum and be healthy; b. Nutritional status must be adequate as this has a direct effect on conception and the initiation of estrus in heifers or return of estrous cycles in cows following calving; c. Physical facilities must be adequate to allow cattle handling without being detrimental to the animal; d. Estrus must be detected accurately if timed Al is not employed; e. Semen of high fertility must be used; f. Semen must be inseminated properly. A successful breeding program can employ LUTALYSE effectively, but a poorly managed breeding program will continue to be poor when LUTALYSE is employed unless other management deficiencies are remedied first. Cattle expressing estrus following LUTALYSE are receptive to breeding by a bull. Using bulls to breed large numbers of cattle in heat following LUTALYSE will require proper management of bulls and cattle. 3. For Intramuscular use for treatment of Pyometra (chronic endometritis) in Cattle. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly. In studies conducted with LUTALYSE, pyometra was defined as presence of a corpus luteum in the ovary and uterine horns containing fluid but not a conceptus based on palpation per rectum. Return to normal was defined as evacuation of fluid and return of the uterine horn size to 40 mm or less based on palpation per rectum at 14 and 28 days. Most cattle that recovered in response to LUTALYSE recovered within 14 days after injection. After 14 days, recovery rate of treated cattle was no different than that of nontreated cattle. 4. For Intramuscular use for abortion of Feedlot and Other Non-Lactating Cattle. LUTALYSE is indicated for its abortifacient effect in feedlot and other non-lactating cattle during the first 100 days of gestation. Inject a dose of 25 mg intramuscularly. Cattle that abort will abort within 35 days of injection. Commercial cattle were palpated per rectum for pregnancy in six feedlots. The percent of pregnant cattle in each feedlot less than 100 days of gestation ranged between 26 and 84; 80% or more of the pregnant cattle were less than 150 days of gestation. The abortion rates following injection of LUTALYSE increased with increasing doses up to about 25 mg. As examples, the abortion rates, over 7 feedlots on the dose titration study, were 22%, 50%, 71%, 90% and 78% for cattle up to 100 days of gestation when injected IM with LUTALYSE doses of 0,1 (5 mg), 2 (10 mg), 4 (20 mg) and 8 (40 mg) mL, respectively. The statistical predicted relative abortion rate based on the dose titration data, was about 93% for the 5 mL (25 mg) LUTALYSE dose for cattle injected up to 100 days of gestation. swine: For intramuscular use for parturition induction in swine. LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated for parturition induction in swine when injected within 3 days of normal predicted farrowing. The response to treatment varies by individual animals with a mean interval from administration of 2 mL LUTALYSE (10 mg dinoprost) to parturition of approximately 30 hours. This can be employed to control the time of farrowing in sows and gilts in late gestation. Management Considerations: Several factors must be considered for the successful use of LUTALYSE Sterile Solution for parturition induction in swine. The product must be administered at a relatively specific time (treatment earlier than 3 days prior to normal predicted farrowing may result in increased piglet mortality). It is important that adequate records be maintained on (1) the average length of gestation period for the animals on a specific location, and (2) the breeding and projected farrowing dates for each animal. This information is essential to determine the appropriate time for administration of LUTALYSE. Mares: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated for its luteolytic effect in mares. This lutelytic effect can be utilized to control the timing of estrus in estrous cycling and clinically anestrous mares that have a corpus luteum in the following circumstances: 1. Controlling time of estrus of estrous Cycling Mares: Mares treated with LUTALYSE during diestrus (4 or more days after ovulation) will return to estrus within 2 to 4 days in most cases and ovulate 8 to 12 days after treatment. This procedure may be utilized as an aid to scheduling the use of stallions. 2. Difficult-to-Breed Mares: In extended diestrus there is failure to exhibit regular estrous cycles, which is different from true anestrus. Many mares described as anestrus during the breeding season have serum progesterone levels consistent with the presence of a functional corpus luteum. A proportion of “barren”, maiden, and lactating mares do not exhibit regular estrous cycles and may be in extended diestrus. Following abortion, early fetal death and re-sorption, or as a result of “pseudopregnancy,” there may be serum progesterone levels consistent with a functional corpus luteum. Treatment of such mares with LUTALYSE usually results in regression of the corpus luteum followed by estrus and/or ovulation. In one study with 122 Standardbred and Thoroughbred mares in clinical anestrus for an average of 58 days and treated during the breeding season, behavioral estrus was detected in 81 percent at an average time of 3.7 days after injection with 5 mg LUTALYSE; ovulation occurred an average of 7.0 days after treatment. Of those mares bred, 59% were pregnant following an average of 1.4 services during that estrus. Treatment of “anestrous” mares, which abort subsequent to 36 days of pregnancy, may not result in return to estrus due to presence of functional endometrial cups.

DOSAGE The recommended dosage of FACTREL is 100 mcg/ cow intramuscularly.

useR saFety (HuMaN WaRNINGs) Not for human use. Women of childbearing age, asthmatics, and persons with bronchial and other respiratory problems should exercise extreme caution when handling this product. In the early stages, women may be unaware of their pregnancies. Dinoprost tromethamine is readily absorbed through the skin and can cause abortion. Accidental spillage on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water.

RESIDUE WARNING Because FACTREL is identical to endogenous GnRH such that both are rapidly metabolized without detectable levels in milk or tissue, no withdrawal period is required.

ResIDue INFORMatION No milk discard or preslaughter drug withdrawal period is required for labeled uses in cattle. No preslaughter drug withdrawal period is required for labeled uses in swine. Use of this product in excess of the approved dose may result in drug residues. Not for horses intended for human consumption.

STORAGE CONDITIONS Store at refrigerator temperature 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F). SAFETY AND TOXICITY In cows the intramuscular administration of up to 25 times recommended dosage (2,500 mcg/day) of FACTREL for 3 days did not affect any physiological or clinical parameter. Likewise, single intramuscular doses of 5 times recommended dosage (500 mcg) did not interfere with pregnancy. No evidence of irritation at injection site was found in any animal. HOW SUPPLIED FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) solution 50 mcg/mL is available in 20 mL multidose vials (box of one).

aNIMaL saFety (WaRNINGs) Severe localized clostridial infections associated with injection of LUTALYSE have been reported. In rare instances, such infections have resulted in death. Aggressive antibiotic therapy should be employed at the first sign of infection at the injection site whether localized or diffuse.

PReCautIONs • Do not administer intravenously (I.V.) as this route may potentiate adverse reactions. • No vial stopper should be entered more than 20 times. For this reason, the 100 mL bottle should only be used for cattle. The 30 mL bottle may be used for cattle, swine, or mares. • As with all parenteral products, careful aseptic techniques should be used to decrease the possibility of post-injection bacterial infections. The vial stopper should be cleaned and disinfected prior to needle entry. Only sterile needles should be used and the same needle should not be used more than once. • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may inhibit prostaglandin synthesis; therefore this class of drugs should not be administered concurrently. Cattle: Do not administer to pregnant cattle, unless abortion is desired. Cattle administered a progestogen would be expected to have a reduced response to LUTALYSE Sterile Solution. swine: Do not administer to sows and/or gilts prior to 3 days of normal predicted farrowing as an increased number of stillbirths and postnatal mortality may result. Mares: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is ineffective when administered prior to day-5 after ovulation. Pregnancy status should be determined prior to treatment since LUTALYSE has been reported to induce abortion and parturition when sufficient doses were administered. Mares should not be treated if they suffer from either acute or subacute disorders of the vascular system, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, or reproductive tract. aDVeRse ReaCtIONs Cattle: Limited salivation has been reported in some instances. swine: The most frequently observed side effects were erythema and pruritus, slight incoordination, nesting behavior, itching, urination, defecation, abdominal muscle spasms, tail movements, hyperpnea or dyspnea, increased vocalization, salivation, and at the 100 mg (10X) dose only, possible vomiting. These side effects are transitory, lasting from 10 minutes to 3 hours, and were not detrimental to the health of the animal. Mares: The most frequently observed side effects are sweating and decreased rectal temperature. However, these have been transient in all cases observed and have not been detrimental to the animal. Other reactions seen have been increase in heart rate, increase in respiration rate, some abdominal discomfort, locomotor incoordination, and lying down. These effects are usually seen within 15 minutes of injection and disappear within one hour. Mares usually continue to eat during the period of expression of side effects. One anaphylactic reaction of several hundred mares treated with LUTALYSE Sterile Solution was reported but was not confirmed. NADA #108-901, Approved by FDA U.S. Patent No. 6,187,818
