Assessing The Feasibility Of Microneedle Patches For Gnrh Immunocontraception In Mixed-Breed Dogs (Canis Familiaris), Ai-Mei Chang, Hsiao-Hui Huang, Ding-Liang Hou, Zi-Yu Lin, Mei-Chin Chen, Chen-Chih Chen, Jai-Wei Lee

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The overpopulation of free-roaming dogs poses significant risks to endemic species, public health, and the environment through predation and disease transmission. While surgical castration is effective, it raises ethical concerns regarding animal welfare. Immuno-castration offers a humane and effective alternative for population control, but a more easily administered and cost-efficient method is needed to enable widespread vaccination efforts. In this study, we aimed to employ self-dissolving microneedle patches for a simple and potentially cost-effective immunization of a recombinant GnRH-based vaccine to control fertility. Eight mongrel dogs were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=4 each) and immunized with the recombinant GnRH-based …
