Section 5 - Abortifacients


 
 

In managing the feedlot heifer, abortifacients can eliminate unwanted pregnancies which lead to dystocia, retained placenta, prolapsed uterus along with heifer and calf postnatal care.  Abortifacients have no withdrawal time.  However, you should be cautious to ensure that these products are not administered too late in the gestation period.  Label directions and your veterinarian can provide proper administration procedures.
