Kerbl Boar Spray Boarmate 250 ml. Boarmate is an aerosol containing synthetically produced ‚boar odour‘ (5α-androst-16-en-3-one).
- This compound has an odour identical to that produced by the boar‘s submaxillary glands; the same odour that a sow reacts to by standing -reflex when she is ready for mating.
- Boarmate was developed as an aid to farmers and growers to overcome difficulties that arise in identifying sows and gilts that are ready for insemination.
- Paking size: 250ml.
- Boarmate is used to stimulate sows and gilts into showing the standing -reflex that indicates their readiness to receive the boar and which coincides with the optimum time for conception. When used as directed Boarmate will effectively eliminate the problems associated with poor heat detection in sows and gilts in the absence of the boar and will improve the efficient use of Artificial Insemination.
Advantages of Boarmate:
- Increasing the success rate for AI, particularly in small herds
- Reduction in the number of days from weaning to re-breeding.
- Reduction in the number of days to first mating of gilts.
- Improvement in the farrowing index.
- Aids identification of non-cycling sows and silent heats.
- Eliminates the need for teaser boars.
- Increases in annual sow productivity.
Use: Boar Spray is sprayed on the sow or gilt snout about 60 cm away a maximum of 2 seconds.
Pack size: 250ml
