P & E

P & E is a compound used to control ovulations in mares and involves three different prescription drugs. The other drugs used are prostin and hCG.
It is a 19 day procedure and a calendar can be calculated at http://www.evergreenequikits.com.
It is an off-label use for mares.
The usual dosage is 3cc per day for a 500kg / 1100 lb mare.
It does NOT work unless the mare is cycling.
It can be started at any point in the cycle.
It is accurate with in 24 hours in 95% of the mares tested.
P & E is to be stored at room temperature.
P & E CANNOT make an infertile mare fertile! (But we have some other ideas that may help. email or call 615-390-8773.)

Embryo transfers, used to synchronize recipient mares and donor mares.
Fewer mares required as recipients.
Shipped semen can be scheduled up to 19 days in advance and only one shipment will be required per cycle.
Mares should ovulate at a time that agrees with Delta rather than Mother Nature unassisted.
Stallion managers can better schedule the on-farm mares to be bred at off peak days and spread the semen requirements more evenly.
Reduced vet farm calls and the ability to combine several animals at a time for vet checking.
More than one insemination can be shipped in one container, thus reducing pick up time or shipping cost.
Mare owners may better schedule their time.

The shots are IM (intra muscular) every day.
They must be given at the same time each day.
Some site swelling might occur (though our mares have never experienced that symptom).
It is not well known and used in the veterinary community.
It will not work during anestrus or other times that mares are in transition.
