Use in pet chickens
[edit]As a suprelorin implant, it's used in pet chickens to stop egg production and therefore treat egg-laying malfunctions that would otherwise kill the bird (repeated prolapses, internal laying, etc). I've just had my second rescued ex-battery hen implanted for internal laying. It's the only way short of surgical spaying to treat egg yolk peritonitis caused by internal laying. Not sure how to phrase that in the article though. 92.236.142.106 (talk) 17:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
