One-hundred and seventeen ewes were used in a study of induction of parturition. Ewes were treated with either 2 mg flumethasone (FLU), 15 mg prostaglandin F2 alpha-THAM salt (PGF) or physiological saline (control) on day 141 of gestation, as determined by dates of marking by rams. Eighty-nine percent of the ewes treated with FLU and 33% of the ewes treated with PGF lambed within 72 hr post-treatment. More (P less than .01) ewes treated with PGF or FLU lambed within 72 hr than did control ewes. The interval from treatment to parturition was shorter in FLU (P less than .01) and PGF (P less than .05) treated ewes than in ewes given saline.
117只母羊用于分娩诱导研究。根据公羊标记日期确定，在妊娠第141天，母羊分别接受2毫克氟米松（FLU）、15毫克前列腺素F2α-THAM盐（PGF）或生理盐水（对照）处理。接受FLU处理的母羊中有89%以及接受PGF处理的母羊中有33%在处理后72小时内产羔。接受PGF或FLU处理的母羊在72小时内产羔的数量比对照母羊更多（P<0.01）。与给予生理盐水的母羊相比，接受FLU（P<0.01）和PGF（P<0.05）处理的母羊从处理到分娩的间隔更短。
