Efeitos da imunoesterilização com uso de anti- GnRH em cães domésticos (Canis Familiaris - Linnaeus 1857)

Abstract

Population growth of stray dogs is of concern on the responsible organs due to the risk of transmission of zoonoses, Also, abandoned aniamls are prone to acidentes, fights. In order to avoid such facts, methods have been used for sterilization of these animals, among then surgical sterilization, chemical sterilization and finally immunosterilization. Immunosterilization consists of ant- GnRH administrations, compenting with the receptors and blocking their action. In this way the entire reproductive cascade remains blocked, with LH, FSH and testosterone without functionality. In farmed animals, immunosterilization is already widespreadd, ensuring efficacy and safety, however more studies shoud be conducted to improve the use of this drug in dogs. The presente work to evaluate the use of anti-GnRH in dogs as na immunosterilization method.
