Abstract:
This invention provides methods and kits for maintaining pregnancy in mammals. Pregnancy is maintained by administration of effective amounts of luteinizing hormone (LH) or chorionic gonadotropin (CG). Both LH and CG may be used alone, in combination with each other, or in combination with growth hormone (GH) or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Hormones are administered on about Day 4 to about Day 7 following insemination. Effective amounts of LH range from about 10 micrograms to about 25 milligrams, preferably about 2 to about 8 mg, and of CG range from about 100 IU (international units) to about 2000 IU. Mammals treatable by the methods of this invention include ungulates and related mammals, including bovines. Kits provided by this invention include effective amounts of one or more hormones, a device for administering the hormone(s) and instructions. This invention also provides methods for treating follicular cysts and for synchronizing ovulation in mammals using LH.
