The EAZI-BREED CIDR® Sheep and Goat Device treatment programs represent a convenient and effective method for both synchronizing and inducing oestrus in production animals. Using only naturally occurring progesterone, these unique treatment programs take control of the oestrous cycle by mimicking normal physiological events. EAZI-BREED CIDR® Sheep and Goat Devices contain the natural hormone 0.3 g progesterone, intra-vaginally placed. EAZI-BREED CIDR®'s release progesterone at a controlled rate into the blood stream.

Not for use in humans Inserts should be removed 24 hours prior to slaughter for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and pets. Animals in poor condition from illness, nutritional or management stress may not react to treatment. Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder. Not suitable for use in animals with abnormal vaginas.
Use only as directed. Insertion: Dip the applicator in a non-irritant antiseptic solution. Place one CIDR® G device into the applicator so that the short legs are folded and only the tips of these legs protrude from the front of the applicator. Dip the front portion of the loaded applicator into a suitable veterinary obstetrical lubricant. Wipe the vulva lips clean with disposable tissue. Insert the loaded applicator, sloping slightly upwards, through the vulva and then forward, without forcing, into the anterior portion of the vagina. Release the device from the applicator leaving only the cord protruding from the vulva. Repeat Step 1 before re-using the applicator. Removal: Withdraw each CIDR® G device by gently pulling on the removal cord. Bury or burn the device. Mating: Goats: During the breeding season CIDR® G devices are inserted for 18 days. The majority of does are in oestrus approximately 48 hours after device removal. A vasectomised buck should run with synchronised does. Sheep: During the breeding season CIDR® G devices are inserted for 10 – 12 days. Ewes are in oestrus for mating or insemination approximately 54 hours after device removal. For early autumn lambing it is recommended that the device be used in conjunction with PMS. A ram to ewe ratio of at least 1:10 is recommended for synchronised mating.
