By Junia Isiminger Greetings from Northwestern Pennsylvania! My name is Junia Isiminger and I have been given the honor of serving as your executive secretary effective June 1, 2014. My husband, Mike, and our two daughters, Jaydyn, 14, and Jordanna, 8, live on our 44-acre dairy farm in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. The farm was my paternal grandparents' farm and I am a fifth generation dairy farmer. On our farm, we have about 50 head of registered dairy cattle consisting of every breed except Guernsey. We began our herd from my 4-H Milking Shorthorns. I began my showing career when I was an eight-year-old 4-Her, with a white Milking Shorthorn. Kristy Anna was never a very good show cow but she could really produce milk. When I was nine, my brother gave me an all red calf, Minnie Tonia, which was born on February 27 and should have never been a good show animal but proved us all wrong with winning Junior Champion at our fair, winning at Districts and placing first and Junior Champion at the Pennsylvania State Junior Show in Harrisburg. Then the fun really began when a breeder that many of you know, Sam Yoder, approached my Dad and told us we had to show that calf at the All-American Dairy Show the next day. He made the arrangements, including paying the entry fee, and that calf placed second in the show! The love of showing for that little nineyear-old girl was born and she has been hooked ever since. Today, offspring of those two Milking Shorthorns are still present in our herd. Over the years, I had a heifer from one family and a bull from the other. My goal was to combine those Cont. on pg. 17

President
The Final Installment! by Susan Lee Thanks to Cory for his year of service and dedication to our Society. He was very instrumental in getting our office organized, the data on the "cloud," and our finances working with QuickBooks. He has it organized so that a member can be anywhere and have accessibility to all their data. I personally want to thank Cory for being so helpful during this transition period especially when he is learning his own new job. By the time you read this, Junia Isiminger will have been on the job a few weeks. Some of you know her but for those that don't - her bio is in this Journal. Make sure you visit with her at the national meeting. Welcome Junia. Junia will have our cell phone number, 608-4810165. Brown Swiss will be handling our registrations and transfers at the Beloit office. Stephanie Lemay will be the contact person in the office and you can reach her by calling 608-365-3332. She is working for us two days, Tuesday and Friday, and Brown Swiss the rest of the week. Our e-mail address will be info@milkingshorthorn.com. In addition, you are always welcome to call any board member and visit with them. I am extremely proud of our membership as Stephanie says everyone has been cooperative and patient. It is exciting to be working more closely with the Brown Swiss Association. Having been to several meetings with the Aryshire, Guernsey, and Brown Swiss executive secretaries and presidents, it is clear that the time has come to work together for the efficiency and effectiveness of all involved. We have proven all can work cohesively with the classification program a notable success. I am hopeful that this cooperative trend continues. It may take a little time to work out as all new programs do, but I believe it is a necessity for the future of our breeds. It will probably take time to figure out exactly what works best, but with today's technology and cooperation - great things are in the future. As the national meeting approaches - planning, executing, and then over all too quickly - so ends my term on the board and the honor of being your president. It has been fulfilling to be on a board so full of energy and progressiveness - always looking into the future and with the

best interests of our breed. We were put in a position of leadership and everyone took that challenge seriously. Standing still will not get you where you need to be; this board is full of doers and it has been fun to be part of these efforts. The board started some new projects, some of which we didn't get accomplished in the time allotted - it takes a bit to figure out what is the best approach. Change is a good thing because new opportunities arise, but it isn't always easy. Mistakes have been made but the only way to avoid mistakes is to avoid action which is not an option for this board. Our Society deserves nothing less than the best we can give - this is the attitude of this team. With this meeting it is time for me to step aside . It seems like it just started yesterday and has gone by all too fast. Thank you to all the board members - it has been fun to work with you! We have come a long way as a breed and all we have to do is to look at the animals being shown the past couple of years. Look at the success of the sales in the past few months and the quality of animals. There has been much interest from new buyers. The type is here and we must work on production and components without giving up the type - it can be done and has been proven. In addition, we must more aggressively take advantage of our proven health traits in our promotional efforts. Also I want to thank all the committee chairs and committee members - you are a huge part of our team - without you working through the process of brain storming, researching and bringing the best options for us to look at - the board meeting would take days. There are many people who deserve thanks but space allows me to single out only two. One is Thomas Landrum who I have called several times to say "Help! I am not sure about this!" He always had time to visit and give recommendations and well considered opinions. The other is my husband for having the patience to listen to me, the encouragement, and always being there . Never complaining and in the end making me smile with his "It will be alright - you guys can work it out." Inspiration - support - assistance - sometimes consolation - reinforcement - reassurance guidance are just a few adjectives to describe him. Between the two of them is a wealth of knowledge and they are more than willing to share. See you all in Westfield, Massachusetts.

olored shavings, milking parlors, tiaras, leadsperson, calf feeder and show string manager are just a few of the paths that the 2013 American Milking Shorthorn National Queen has traversed. Liza Van der Laan is a recent high school graduate that is actively involved in the breeding and raising of her own Milking Shorthorns. The owner of 15 cows and about as many heifers, this young lady is no stranger to the dairy industry. Her roots trace back to generations of dairy farming from the Netherlands to Texas and now currently a large commercial operation located in Frederick, Oklahoma. “The extreme southwest corner,� she says. Her parents, Pieter and Anita Van der Laan, immigrated to the United States in the 80s when expansion became impossible in their native Netherlands. They began their commercial dairy in Texas, and again, in 2002

Van der Laan when expansion was not an option, moved the family to the wide open plains of Oklahoma. They now operate two dairies, one that houses 3,300 cattle and a smaller, 1,600-cow dairy. They farm approximately 3,000 acres in Oklahoma and have an additional eight alfalfa circles in Colorado. They raise most of their own feed. Primarily grade Holstein cows are on the dairy, but they began to acquire some registered stock to show in 2007. They now have registered Milking Shorthorns, Brown Swiss and Holsteins. Liza purchased her first young Milking Shorthorn calf from Clark Von Tungeln in 2007. “I just lost that cow this past fall at the age of 7, but she has given me three daughters and I have three granddaughters. And she always calved on Halloween!” Liza laughed. Clayside RH Kitty scored VG-87 and completed a record of 4-03 305D 3X 18,610M 3.8% 708F 3.4% 642P. She is backed by 84 and 83-point dams with records to 16,690M. In 2008, Liza purchased twin calves that originated from the Mysha herd, Mysha Dapper Mindy and Mysha Dapper Mandy who stood second and third as fall calves that year at the Oklahoma State Fair. Mandy is VG-86 with a completed 4-04 305D 3X record of 21,070M 812F 651P. Mindy is VG-85 with a current 5-05 278D 3X record of 21,650M 828F 677P. “I have a beautiful tall daughter out of Mindy and just got my first bred and owned great granddaughter from her,” Liza said. The Milking Shorthorn cows are housed with the commercial herd while the young stock is segregated for show training. “The major thing I love about the Milking Shorthorns, and have even
convinced my dad, is their amazing fertility and they are much heartier. While they may produce a little less, they more than keep up with the commercial herd and the heat doesn’t affect them as much,” says Liza. Liza is actively involved on the farm. She is in charge of the show animals from the feeding program to breaking them to lead. In the summer she cares for the young calves, “which,” she says, “involves closely monitoring them for dehydration with the heat in our region.” She also fills in as relief milker and helps with the corn and sorghum harvest. And as most dairy youth, jumps in and helps out wherever needed to get the job done. Liza has enjoyed being an active member of the Milking Shorthorn youth association, attending and participating in national conventions since 2010. She competed in various contests over the years. She also has been involved on the state level. She says that as the Oklahoma Milking Shorthorn Queen she attended many state shows and activities and, along with a few other youth, has aggressively promoted the Milking Shorthorn breed and grown the number of registered members in their state. As Oklahoma Queen, she says she got to meet a lot of different people and was amazed at the friendliness of the Milking Shorthorn people. That led to her decision to run for national queen in Kansas. “Having not been involved with the various breeds for generations, the nicest people were the Milking Shorthorn people. And I wanted to represent the breed and what we truly are, is why I ran for national queen,” she said. Liza said finally attending the World
Dairy Expo was the most memorable part of her year as national queen. “We are 18 hours away, and while all of the rest of my family had attended, I had always stayed home to care for the show stock. We didn’t just go due to the distance, and this year, the reason to go was because of me. I finally got to attend and it was so amazing to meet more people from the United States and internationally. And people were so friendly. It was great getting to talk to people at the dinner after the show… and the show! It was so amazing!” Liza exclaimed. Liza graduated as Valdictorian of her high school class this past May. In school she was an officer in the FFA, a member of the Interscholastic Equestrian Association and on the yearbook staff. Liza plans to stay active in both the dairy industry and the Milking Shorthorn breed. She will be attending Oklahoma State in the fall to pursue studies in plant science bio technology and genetic research. She wants to help develop drought and flood resistant crops, an area of study that directly impacts her family and dairy industry. She also plans to return to the farm. “Both my brother, and my sister are returning to the farm. My brother is in his last year of his Master’s program and my sister is in her senior year of college. All of us are involved and plan to be involved in agriculture and the dairy.” Liza’s reign is about to be completed. Liza also has plans to continue to stay involved with the AMSS. “Most people assume that the Milking Shorthorns are small time and a hobby breed, but they are thriving with our commerCont. on pg. 24

two families for the milk and the style. Today our daughter, Jaydyn owns a beautiful red cow that traces to that combination. She has had fun showing Mickey at county, state and national shows and has received the honor of being nominated Jr. All-American Spring Calf in 2010 and winning Jr. Reserve All-American Jr. 3 year old in 2013. Mickey looks like my Minnie Tonia cow with the milk production of Kristy Anna. The best of both worlds! I am sure that my story is much like many of yours in that you love your Milking Shorthorns, you love the dairy industry and there has been someone along your life’s path that has sparked your interest in the breed or industry in some way. One of my goals, as your new Executive Secretary, is to spark the interest and love of the Milking Shorthorn breed in such a way, that everyone is talking about those RED, WHITE, ROAN and RED AND WHITE beautiful bovines! I look forward to getting to know you, the Milking Shorthorn breeders from across the nation, and hearing your stories of how it began for you. It is an honor and a privilege to be serving you in my new role. I am excited about the future! See you soon!
The Fall issue of the Milking Shorthorn Journal will feature the Convention Wrap Up & be at the fall national shows! Plan now to advertise your nominees to the readers of the Journal! Deadline: August 7! Contact Lindsey Rucks to reserve your space 863.634.3187

American Milking Shorthorn Society On Farm Milking Shorthorn Photo Contest 2013 Class Winner - 3-Year-Old, Full Herdbook Dairy MAPLETON VLY ACE RAJI Mapleton Valley Farms, Oconomowoc, WI She had the most likes on our Facebook page to be the People’s Choice Overall Winner of the 2013 AMSS On-Farm Photo Contest.
This contest has been created to promote cows that do not get to the show ring and provide an easy way for breeders to show off their best animals. It will also allow for Dual Purpose and Non-Show Eligible animals to be recognized within the breed. The contest will begin as an online only contest with all entrants posted on the AMSS Facebook page. Class winners will also be recognized on the AMSS website.
Farm Name: Address: Contact:
Entries will be due each year at the end of June to provide a contest during the summer months when there is a lull in promotion of show cows (no national shows or AA promotions). This will also allow for a reminder for entries to be turned in at the Annual Convention and hopefully build up excitement about the contest. Judges will be chosen from the Board of Directors for the initial contest and then
randomly from breeders not entered in the contest. Dairy breeders will judge Herdbook and Genetic Expansion classes and Dual Purpose breeders will judge the Dual Purpose entries. Online voting will then be opened to choose the People’s Favorite from among all the class winners (1 PF from each group). Following is an entry form which includes the rules and entry requirements.

Junior Spotlights Kyle Benter is a senior at Brownstown Central High School. He is the nineteenyear-old son of Kevin and Tammie Benter. They farm in Brownstown, Indiana. Kyle was introduce to the breed by his younger brother, Ryan, in 2011. He was introduced to the breed while helping with Ryan’s animals, and wanted to join the fun. He began to show the following year in 2012. His friends also influenced him, and now he loves competing against them. He purchased his first Milking Shorthorn cow, Way-Lu Clay Prissy in 2012. His first show was at the Indiana State Fair, and then they traveled down to the North American International Livestock Expo in Louisville, Kentucky. Since then, he has expanded his herd by buying other animals and also breeding animals. This past fall was Benter’s first time on the colored shavings in Madison, Wisconsin. He is a member of the National Milking Shorthorn Association. Benter’s other activities include being a delegate of the first Indiana Dairy Youth Academy in 2012-2013. He represents his county in dairy judging. Kyle is the president of the Jackson County 4-H. He is the secretary of the Brownstown Central FFA chapter and has also held the office of treasurer. He

played on the JV/Varsity basketball team for four years and he is a member of the National Honor Society and Student Athletic Council. Kyle’s most memorable experience with Milking Shorthorns is winning grand champion at the Indiana State Fair in 2012. He vividly recalls the moment of shaking the judge’s hand, and the pride of holding the winning purple banner. His responsibilities on his farm include milking and feeding 75 head of cattle that consist of Holstein, Brown Swiss, and Milking Shorthorn. He also helps with the planting in the field too. His future plans are to attend Purdue University and major in agribusiness management in the fall. After completing his education, his ideal job opportunity would be working as an agriculture sales representative or being a dairy herdsman at a large dairy operation. The Milking Shorthorn breed is special to Kyle because they are a unique breed and a fun breed to be a part of. Though the numbers are small, the competition is still very tough, and he has thoughly enjoyed every minute spent with the breed. Ryan Benter is a brother to Kyle. He is a seventeen-year-old junior at Brownstown Central High School. He became a Milking Shorthorn breeder when the opportunity of buying a

91-point aged cow from David Croshaw, Greg Tormoehlem, and his dad Kevin. Benter shows cattle at the state, local, and national level. He is also a junior member of the Milking Shorthorn association. Other activities Ryan is involved in include being president of his 4-H club, serving as the vice president of the Junior Leaders and he is part of the Indiana Dairy Youth Academy. He participates in his youth group at church too. The most memorable experience with Milking Shorthorns Ryan had was showing his animals at Madison and at the North American. His responsibilities on his farm include milking and feeding 75 head of cattle consisting of Holstein, Brown Swiss, and Milking Shorthorns. He also helps with the planting in the field too. Ryan’s plan to keep his small herd of Shorthorns and Holsteins to breed, show, and market. The breed is very important to this young man. Benter said this, “Milking Shorthorn are different than most other breeds. Their unique color gives them an advantage over other breeds. Milking Shorthorns are also the breed that won his first Grand Champion at the Kentucky State Fair.”

2013-2014 National Milking Shorthorn Queen Farewell To say the least, this year has been amazing. But I haven’t been alone in making this year great. To start out, I would like to thank my parents for giving me this opportunity; mom for traveling with me, and dad for always supporting us. Thank you to Clark Von Tungeln and John Kebert for introducing me to this amazing breed, and supporting me all along the way. A special thanks to Clark for driving me to Louisville and back! Also, thank you to Cory Salzl for all the ringside assistance, and Katie Agnew for all the junior related help. Finally, thank you to everyone, both juniors and adults, involved with Milking Shorthorns. I have been so privileged to represent such an amazing group of people who supported me all along the way. Seven years ago I was an extremely shy eleven-year-old. Then I bought my first Milking Shorthorn. This led me to begin showing at various shows across the state of Oklahoma. It also led me to meeting some of the people involved with the Milking Shorthorn breed. In 2010, I attended my first national convention, and while I wasn’t too shy any longer, I was still nervous to be meeting so many new people. But I had no reason to worry. I was quickly accepted into the group of juniors that I represented this

Milking Shorthorn Journal
past year. I was quickly accepted into something that has become like a second family for me. Now, to all the juniors who would like to apply for any national junior award, especially the National Queen Program, I say go for it. Back when I first started with my Milking Shorthorns, I never expected to be representing the breed on a national level, but that is exactly what this year has been. This year has been nothing if not memorable. Standing ringside at the various national shows led me to meet so many amazing people. Everywhere I went, there was someone new willing to support me, and someone new to meet in the Milking Shorthorn breed. Don’t be afraid to follow through with, and apply for, any of the programs and awards. To all the future queens, and queen candidates, I wish you the best of luck. I hope that all of you have a year just as, if not more, memorable than mine. Some things I have learned this year include: don’t be nervous about pursuing this amazing opportunity, trust in your family and friends, be willing to make friends, don’t underestimate the power of bobby pins, and most importantly have fun representing such a wonderful group of people.

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

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. 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 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. 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
