RECOMMENDED FOR

A practical and economical method to increase lamb production

WHY CHOOSE OVASTIM?

  • 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.
