What is P.G. 600® Used for?
P.G. 600 is a vaccine used for pigs aged 5 ½ months or older that weigh at least 187 pounds. You can receive this medication from Merck through Revival Animal Health.
This vaccine is used to improve reproductive efficiency in swine. Specifically, it helps more prepubertal gilts and weaned sows cycle on schedule — primarily in the summer when pig markets are higher.
How P.G. 600 Works
P.G. 600 contains serum gonadotropin and chorionic gonadotropin, which work to mimic the naturally occurring follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones. The injection induces the estrus cycle in female pigs, making them sexually receptive. Following a P.G. 600 injection, estrus can occur within three to seven days.
