Abstract
Prolonged parenteral release into the circulatory system of a cow of a bioactive bovine somatotropin at desirably effective levels can be achieved using novel compositions in which the bovine somatotropin is present it an aqueous liquid at a dose of at least about 150 mg and at a concentration of at least about 50 mg/ml. The aqueous bovine somatotropin formulation provides for the sustained release of bovine somatotropin into the circulatory system of the animal for greater than three (3) days.
Claims21
A method for achieving prolonged release of greater than about 120 hours of a biologically active somatotropin into the circulatory system of an animal which comprises parenteral administration to the animal by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of an aqueous bovine somatotropin composition consisting essentially of at least about 150 mg of a biologically active bovine somatotropin in water at a concentration of at least about 150 mg/ml.
A method for achieving prolonged release of greater than about 144 hours of a biologically active somatotropin into the circulatory system of an animal which comprises parenteral administration to the animal by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of an aqueous bovine somatotropin composition consisting essentially of at least about 300 mg of a biologically active bovine somatotropin in water at a concentration of at least about 150 mg/ml.
A method for enhancing milk production or feed-to-milk conversion efficiency of a cow by effecting prolonged release of a biologically active somatotropin into the circulatory system of the cow for a period of at least about 120 hours by a single administration of the somatotropin to the cow which comprises parenteral administration to the cow of a syringeable aqueous bovine somatotropin solution having a concentration of at least 150 mg/ml whereby said solution provides the cow with at least a 150 mg dose of bovine somatotropin.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least about 150 mg of a biologically active bovine somatotropin in water at a concentration of at least about 150 mg/ml to form a syringeable aqueous bovine somatotropin solution, said solution being void of absorption modifying agents and buffering agents.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least about 150 mg of a biologically active bovine somatotropin in water at a concentration of at least about 250 mg/ml to form a syringeable aqueous bovine somatotropin solution, said solution being void of absorption modifying agents.
