Product Description
Combined 7 in 1 Clostridial plus Pasteurella vaccine containing per ml: Clostridium perfringens beta toxoid : Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxoid ; Clostridium septicum: Clostridium tetani toxoid: Clostridium novyi toxoid ; Clostridium chauvoei cells and equivalent toxoid and formalin killed cells of the epidemiologically most important serotypes of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella trehalosi.
For the active immunization of sheep as an aid in the control of lamb dysentery, pulpy kidney, struck, tetanus, braxy, blackleg, black disease and clostridial metritis caused by the above-listed organisms.
The vaccine may be used as an aid in the control of pneumonic pasteurellosis in sheep of all ages from a minimum age of 3 weeks and in the control of systemic pasteurellosis in weaned fattening and breeding sheep.
Dosage & Administration
- Sheep of all ages: 2 ml per injection by subcutaneous injection in the lateral side of the upper neck observing aseptic precautions.
- All breeding sheep not previously vaccinated with Heptavac P Plus must receive two injections, each of 2 ml, separated by an interval of 4-6 weeks.
- Thereafter they must receive booster injections at intervals of not more than 12 months.
- In adult breeding ewes these yearly booster injections should be given during the pre-lambing period, 4-6 weeks before lambing, as an aid in control of disease in their lambs.
- Ewes may be vaccinated during pregnancy as an aid in the control of lamb dysentery, pulpy kidney, tetanus and pasteurellosis in their lambs provided that the lambs receive sufficient immune colostrum during the first 1-2 days of life.
- On farms where the incidence of pasteurellosis is high, a supplementary booster injection using a Pasteurella vaccine may be required 2-3 weeks prior to expected seasonal outbreaks.
- Heptavac P Plus should not be used in lambs less than 3 weeks of age due to the possible immunological incompetence of the very young lamb and competition from any maternally derived colostral antibodies.
- Lambs being retained for fattening or subsequent breeding will require a full course of vaccination. At a minimum age of 3 weeks these lambs should receive two injections, each of 2.0 ml, separated by an interval of 4-6 weeks.
- It should be noted that Heptavac P Plus is the recommended vaccine for breeding stock since it provides optimal aid in the control of the predominant clostridial diseases in adult sheep by active immunisation and in young lambs by passive immunisation.
