Zoetis Eazi-Breed CIDR Insert Cattle

Description

Eazi-Breed CIDR Cattle Insert (progesterone intravaginal insert) helps to improve the effectiveness of reproductive programs by tightening estrous synchronization, so groups of dairy cows and heifers come into heat and can be bred in a narrow window. Removal of the Eazi-Breed CIDR Cattle Insert on Day 7 treatment results in a rapid fall in plasma progesterone levels, which results in the occurrence of estrus in those animals responding to treatment.

Synchronization of the return to estrus in lactating dairy cows inseminated at the immediately preceding estrus

For Best Results, Follow These Steps

Wear protective gloves whenever handling Eazi-Breed CIDR

Prepare a container of clean water with disinfectant solution to wash the applicator between uses

Fit the body of the insert into the applicator with the tail along the slot. The two wings will be pushed together, protruding about 1″ above the top of the applicator

Apply a generous amount of lubricant to the tip of the insert

Shift the animal’s tail to one side and clean the vulva

Make sure the tail of the EAZI-BREED CIDR Cattle Insert is facing upward

Open the lips of the vulva and insert the applicator at a slight upward angle, moving forward over the pelvic bone until it meets resistance, then rotate the applicator so the tail is curling down to hide from curious penmates

Dispense the insert from the applicator by depressing the plunger, then slowly withdraw the applicator body

To prevent removal by curious penmates, you may want to clip the tail of the insert so that 2.5″ protrude from the vulva

To withdraw the insert, simply give the tail a gentle but firm pull to release the insert

Dispose of used inserts in a sealed, plastic container in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations

Important Safety Information

Avoid contact with skin by wearing protective gloves when handling Eazi-Breed CIDR inserts. Do not use in heifers of insufficient size or age for breeding or in cattle with abnormal, immature or infected genital tracts. Do not use inserts more than once.
