OVASTIM for ovulation in sheep

An injectable product used to increase the ovulation rates and consequently lambing percentages of ewes.

A practical and economical method to increase lamb production

Contains polyandroalbumin
Polyandroalbumin is a conjugate of the steroid androstenedione and the protein albumin. It works on natural principles to increase the ewe’s ovulation rates.
Increased ovulation rate, increased lamb production.
With the use of OVASTIM, the ovulation rate of the flock can increase from 18% to 45%. Ovulation rate is by far the most important factor determining the number of lambs born. Trials* with OVASTIM in commercial flocks have shown an average increase in lambs born of 20%, primarily through an increase in the number of twin births. With good management practices more lambs on the ground will result in more lambs surviving through to marking and sale.
Safe to use
OVASTIM produces a natural response and does not adversely affect the survival rate or growth of lambs. No adverse effects have been seen in ewes injected with 10 x normal dose. The liveweight and wool growth of treated ewes were not affected.
Increase fecundity of flock
Fecundity is the ability to produce offspring frequently and in large numbers. An increased number of eggs per ovulation cycle increase the chance of twins.
