Each sow should receive a single 2 mL dose of OvuGel. Sows should be inseminated 22 +/- 2 hours following administration of OvuGel using standard artificial insemination techniques. Sows should be exposed to a boar during time of insemination. (See end of package insert for more detailed directions for OvuGel administration).
