CIDR
for Sheep gets final FDA Approval
MUADP is pleased to
report that EAZI-Breed CIDR Sheep Insert (progesterone solid matrix) for
induction of estrus in ewes (sheep) during seasonal anestrus has been
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The work enabling
the approval was a collaborative effort, spanning more than 6 years,
between MUADP, Dr Dennis Halford (New Mexico State University) and Dr Keith
Inskeep (West Virginia University). The Controlled Intravaginal Drug
Release (CIDR) has been a long standing need of the sheep industry. The
original Public Master File created by the MUADP collaboration enabled the
manufacturer, Pharmacia and Upjohn, a division of Pfizer, Inc., to use
these data in conjunction with its own manufacturing, labeling, and other
information to complete the new animal drug application. The
manufacturer has indicated that EAZI-Breed CIDR Sheep Insert will be
available late this year or early next year.
