Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG) is a hormone used in animal pharmaceuticals to treat reproductive disorders in horses. It is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the chorion, a membrane surrounding the embryo in pregnant mares. eCG is used to induce ovulation in mares, to treat infertility, and to increase the number of eggs released during ovulation. It is also used to treat cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. eCG is available in injectable and oral forms, and is typically administered by veterinarians. It is also available as a supplement for horses, and is used to improve fertility and reproductive health. The equine chorionic gonadotropin market is a growing segment of the animal pharmaceuticals industry. It is driven by the increasing demand for animal health products, as well as the growing awareness of the importance of animal health and welfare. Some companies in the equine chorionic gonadotropin market include Merck Animal Health, Zoetis, Boehringer Ingelheim, Elanco, and Bayer Animal Health. Show Less Read more
