When to use SETTLE
-Optimal timing refers to when the opportunity for uterine infection and endometritis is greatest.
At the diagnosis of uterine infection & while awaiting culture & sensitivity test results
-In conjunction with local or systemic antibiotic treatments
-The day after foaling (or at the first sign of estrus) in known endometritis susceptible mares or recognized as difficult breeders
-At time of retained placenta removal (and/or at the first heat of mares with history of retained placenta or delayed expulsion)
-The day after foaling (or at first natural heat) in mares with poor reproductive tract conformation
-At diagnosis of uterine inflammation or poor involution
-At the time of natural breeding or artificial insemination
-Immediately prior to shipping mares for breeding to expensive stallions
-The day after foaling to ensure earlier uterine health, facilitate earlier breeding when mares are late in the season or to increase conception at the foal heat
