MAP-5 INTRODUCTION


MAP-5
potential increase in pregnancies with frozen semen from low fertility stallions



INTRODUCTION

Successful breeding with frozen stallion semen is currently quite variable. Conception rates range from 30% - 70% and vary greatly with the fertility of the stallion, the freezing ability of the semen, cryopreservative used and the technician performing the collection & freezing.


A previous study by Ottier & Palasz using an equine cryopreservative semen extender containing MAP-5, demonstrated a 7% increase in the binding of thawed sperm to equine hemizona from a highly fertile stallion (100% conception with frozen sperm, in clinically normal mares, during the 1999 breeding season).


In an atttempt to reproduce these results & examine the effects of MAP-5 on cryopreservation of low fertility stallions, an in vitro study, with semen from three stallions was conducted.


MAP-5


MAP-5
sterile sodium hyaluronate


PERMITS THE SUBSTITUTION OF BIOLOGICAL SERA IN EMBRYO FREEZING MEDIA.

Sterile MAP-5 acts as a replacement for serum and serum products in cell handling and freezing solutions, and thereby reduces the risk of transmitting micro-organisms that may contaminate serum products.


MAP-5 is panted salt of hyaluronic acid in normal saline for use in the collection, handling, culture & cryopreservation of embryo, ova, sperm and other cells.

CAUTIONS:
PLEASE REMEMBER...

. CHANGE ANIMALINTEX AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 12 HOURS.
wash hands before and after use.

. Do not overlap the ANIMALINTEX as this will create pressure points.

. Do not bandage too tightly.

. Do not apply too hot, i.e. tested on the back of the hand, it should feel comfortable.

. All wounds require tetanus cover. Check vaccinations are current. If not contact your veterinary surgeon.

. For external use on horses and dogs only.

. The over-use of hot wet dressings on a wound or abscess may encourage the development of excessive granulation tissue (proud flesh).

. All medicines should be kept out of reach of children. Store in dry place.

. If adhesive dressings are used on animals they should be discontinued if a skin reaction occurs. This is characterised by soreness, redness, and serum exudate at the site.

. Do not use with medical preparations except on the advice of your veterinary surgeon, who should be consulted before applying ANIMALINTEX to infected wounds.
