Pig & Poultry Vaccines

Live attenuated porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), strain VP-046 BIS: 103.5-105.5 CCID50. INDICATIONS: Sows: Active immunisation of breeding females from pig farms affected by European PRRS virus in order to reduce reproductive disorders. The vaccination reduced the negative impact of PRRS virus infection on piglet performance (mortality and weight gain) within the first 28 days of life. Piglets: Active immunisation of pig farms affected by European PRRS virus in order to reduce the clinical signs associated with PRRS virus infection, the incidence and duration of viremia, as well as the duration of the spread of the virus by infected animals. In field conditions, there was a reduction in the death rate, as well as a daily weight gain in the negative effects of infection. ADMINISTRATION ROUTE: Intramuscular (IM) or intradermal (ID). IM route: administer in the neck muscles. ID route: administer preferably in the neck area and with the proper injection device (Hipradermic®). Shake gently until complete reconstitution of the lyophilisate with its corresponding solvent before administration. Once reconstituted, use the vaccine within four hours. DOSAGE: 2 ml/animal by IM route; or 0.2 ml/animal by ID route. In general, the following standard vaccination programme is recommended: Gilts: Vaccinate 4 weeks before mating. Sows: Vaccinate 2 weeks before mating or at 8-9 weeks of gestation. Piglets: Vaccinate beginning at 4 weeks. For maximum control of the PRRS virus, a large-scale vaccination of all animals from an early age onwards is recommended. WITHDRAWAL TIME: 0 days.

Active immunisation of piglets from 2 days of age to prevent mortality and reduce clinical signs of oedema disease (caused by verotoxin 2e produced by E. coli) and to reduce the loss of daily weight gain during the finishing period in the face of infections with verotoxin 2e producing E. coli until slaughter from 164 days of age. Onset of immunity: 21 days after vaccination. Duration of immunity: 112 days after vaccination.
