What is Pluset?
Pluset is a porcine pituitary extract (PPE), which contains both of the gonadotropins, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). This product is primarily used to induce development of ovarian follicles during the superovulatory process in ruminant females. The objective of superovulation is to induce multiple follicles to grow and ovulate so that their oocytes (eggs) can become fertilised and the resulting embryos can be collected from genetically valuable donor females and subsequently transferred to recipient females that will gestate the embryos to term. Because of its stimulatory activity on follicular growth, Pluset is also used in cases of reduced fertility (heat stress, high milk production, ovarian inactivity, etc…) to supplement endogenous FSH synthesis and release from the pituitary.
