NET CONTENTS: 10 ml
DESCRIPTION:
Ovaprim® is a liquid peptide preparation that contains an analog of salmon gonadotropin releasing hormone (sGnRHa) and a brain neurotransmitter (dopamine) inhibitor. The sGnRHa in Ovaprim® elicits the release of stored gonadotropins from the pituitary. The dopamine inhibitor (Domperidone) serves to remove other inhibition of GnRH release. Release of stored pituitary gonadotropins may aid spawning by stimulating ovulation and spermiation in sexually mature fish.
INDICATION: For intraperitoneal or intramuscular use as a spawning aid in ornamental finfish broodstock.
CAUTION:
FOR USE IN ORNAMENTAL FINFISH BROODSTOCK ONLY; THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED IN

OTHER HEALTH INFORMATION: The toxicological properties of sGnRHa have not been thoroughly investigated. The actions are similar to luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH, Gonadotropin releasing hormone, GnRH) in humans. LHRH is the key mediator in the liberation of t
