SwineMate is an Oral Progestin Solution that is used for synchronization of estrus in sexually mature gilts that have had at least one estrous cycle. It prolongs gestation for 2-3 days, synchronizes farrowing, and postpones post-weaning estrus. Treatment with altrenogest solution 0.22% results in estrus (standing heat) 4 to 9 days after completion of the 14-day treatment period.

- The exact formulation and active ingredient as MATRIX
- Operating efficiency improved by controlling estrus synchronization
- Predictable breeding timetable for sexually mature gilts that have had at least one estrus

Dosage & Directions
- While wearing protective gloves, remove the shipping cap & seal; replace it with an enclosed plastic dispensing cap
- Remove the cover from the bottle dispensing tip & connect luer lock syringe (without needle)
- Draw out the appropriate volume of SwineMate solution. Note: Do not remove the syringe while the bottle is inverted as spillage may result.
- Detach the syringe & replace the cover on the bottle dispensing tip to prevent leakage
- Administer 6.8 mL (15 mg altrenogest) per gilt once daily for 14 consecutive days
- Treat gilts on an individual animal basis by top-dressing SwineMate on a portion of each gilt’s daily feed allowance
- To produce the desired synchronization of estrus in a group of gilts, treat all of the gilts daily for the same 14-day period
- Excessive use of a syringe may cause the syringe to stick; therefore, replace the syringe as necessary
