[QUOTE="CowsRcuddly, post: 1715091, member: 23329"] Inducing a cow a week before their due date is DIFFERENT than trying to abort a short term bred animal. Inducing labor is used when you are worried that the calf will be large, either due to genetics or a lot of time due to using IVF embryo work. When inducing, you use Dexamethazone to help the lungs of the developing calf along with a prostaglandin (Lutalyse or Estrumate) to induce. You don't use Dex if you are just aborting a pregnancy. However, it is recommended NOT to abort a cow past 4 months bred. You only need 5cc of Lutalyse to abort a cow 100 days bred. It may take up to 35 days for her to abort however. [/QUOTE]
