Fertagyl (Gonadorelin) Injection can be used to help treat cystic ovaries in dairy cattle. It contains Gonadorelin, which is identical to the hormone produced naturally by cows, making it a safe, effective treatment option. Fertagyl can also help synchronize estrous cycles to allow for fixed time artificial insemination in lactating dairy cows. This cattle medication is FDA approved and available in 10-dose or 50-dose vials.How it Works

Endogenous gonadorelin is synthesized by and/or released from the hypothalamus during various stages of the bovine estrous cycle following appropriate neurogenic stimuli. It passes via the hypophyseal portal vessels, to the anterior pituitary to effect the release of gonadotropins (e.g. LH, FSH). Synthetic gonadorelin administered intramuscularly or intravenously also causes the release of endogenous LH and FSH from the anterior pituitary.
