successfully in advance stage of pregnancy using intramuscular injection of 0.15, 0.22 and 0.30 mg of Tiaprost, a PGF2a
analogue on day 136. The parturition induction interval, time from onset of kidding to expulsion of fetus (es), time from
delivery oflast fetus to expulsion of fetal membranes were shortest with 0.22 mg Tiaprost followed by 0.30 and 0.15 mg dose.
There was no adverse effect of treatment on fetal membranes expulsion. It was concluded that parturition could be induced
