Investigation Into the Safety and Clinical Effects of a New Progesterone Releasing Intra-vaginal Device (PRID ®Delta) in Mares

A variety of progesterone releasing intra-vaginal devices have been utilised in clinical broodmare practice. The PRID ®Delta (Ceva, France) is a triangular plastic delivery device containing 1.55g progesterone. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the clinical effects of the PRID®Delta regarding delivery of progesterone, comfort and safety. Ten transitional mares were prospectively studied from the day o f device insertion (day 0), through removal of the device 10 days later (day 10), to 7 days post removal (day 17).
