Lactic acid-containing composition for inducing animal ovarian dysfunction

Abstract

Disclosed is a lactic acid-containing composition for inducing animal ovarian dysfunction, designed to increase meat production by causing ovarian dysfunction within animals. The composition comprises 10 to 90% by weight of lactic acid and 10 to 90% by weight of an adjuvant, having a pH of 1˜5. When locally injected into the ovary, the composition causes the ovarian tissue to lose its function, suppressing the estrus of the animals that thus improve in growth and appetite, with a consequent increase in meat production. Also, because even one injection of the lactic acid-based composition at a small dose can accomplish ovarian dysfunction, no lactic acid is left in the meat as well as the animals. Moreover, the composition, even though administered, does not require a drug-free interval, nor cause an increase in blood lactic acid level, and thus can produce animal products suitable for hormone-free certification.
