Abstract Fifteen ewes were assigned as they came into estrus to one of three randomized treatment groups: 1. Sham IUD + Vehicle, 2. IUD + Vehicle or 3. IUD + PGE1 in vehicle. An IUD was inserted adjacent to the luteal-bearing ovary on day 3 postestrus. Prostaglandin E1 (500 μg) in vehicle (Na2CO3) or vehicle was given intrauterine through an indwelling uterine cannula every four hours from day 3 postestrus until ewes returned to estrus. Precocious estrus was induced in both the sham IUD groups receiving vehicle. Prostaglandin E1 prevented an IUD-induced premature luteolysis based on daily concentrations of progesterone in peripheral blood and the interestrous interval. It is concluded that an IUD-induced premature luteolysis is not necessarily via physical distention by the IUD. It is also concluded that chronic intrauterine infusions of PGE1 can prevent an IUD-induced premature luteolysis.
