title: Synchronization of oestrus in gilts with a progestin [Oxolven (Sa 45.249)].
abstract: The efficiency of a synthetic progestin, Oxolven, as a synchronising agent for mature gilts was investigated. Using capsules is not a suitable form of administration when group-feeding is practised. Another form of administration is proposed for large scale use in the pig production.
