[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 651547, member: 4353"] Sirloin2 Estrumate, Lutalyse and Prostamate (and I am sure some more brand names that I don't even know about) all have the same active ingredient, namely prostaglandin, also called PGF 2 alpha (don't know how to insert the alpha sign). That causes the corpus luteum in an open animal or the corpus luteum of pregnancy in a bred animal to degenerate and thus to start the next heat cycle which will offcourse abort a foetus. If used for abortion its only effective from about 7 days after conception and best results will be before 100 days, after about 150 days it may result in damage to the reproductive tract when the aborted foetus is passed. The only difference between Estrumate and Lutalyse is Lutalyse use the natural version and Estrumate the synthetic version of the same hormone. The test results I've seen suggests that Estrumate are slightly more effective, but I doubt there is much in it. I use Estrumate because I've always had good success with Estrumate and why change something that works. [/QUOTE]
