Formalinised oil-emulsion toxoid of Clostridium perfringens
(welchii) type D for the immunisation of sheep
against enterotoxaemia (Pulpy kidney disease).
Store the vaccine at a temperature of 4 °C
to 8 °C, in a refrigerator.
Do not use the vaccine after the expiry date printed on
the bottle.
RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR USE
Lambs may be immunised from 4-5 months of age or even
sooner if they are weaned at an early age.
The best immunity is obtained when animals are first given
an injection of this oil-emulsion vaccine
followed by a second injection of the alum-precipitated
vaccine 4-6 weeks later. If lambs younger than
4 months of age are immunised a booster injection of the
alum-precipitated vaccine should be given
after 6-8 months. Thereafter an annual booster injection
of the alum-precipitated vaccine should be given.
NB: Lambs younger than 2 months and animals in poor condition,
infected with internal parasites or
which are suffering from other diseases will not immunise
well. Pregnant ewes may safely be
immunised with this vaccine.
WARNINGS
Do not slaughter animals for human consumption within
7 days of vaccination.
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and
animals.
Animals which have previously been inoculated with oil-based
products may develop a reaction
at the injection site.
Although this product has been extensively tested under
a large variety of conditions, failure
thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons.
If this is suspected, seek veterinary
advice and notify the registration holder.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use only as directed.
Sterilise syringes and needles by boiling in water for
at least 15 minutes. Do not use disinfectants or
methylated spirits for sterilising either syringes or
needles. If possible use a separate needle for each
animal.
Avoid exposure to high temperature and direct sunlight
during inoculation. Administer the vaccine
subcutaneously in the groin or behind the shoulder. When
cold, the vaccine is rather thick and difficult
to administer but by keeping it at room temeprature for
a short while it will soon become thinner and
easier to apply. Shake the bottle well before use.
DOSAGE: 1 ml subcutaneously.
EFFECTS
OF THE VACCINE
The vaccine may cause a temporary local swelling at the
injection site and it is undesirable to administer
this vaccine more than once.
Immunity develops approximately 10-14 days after vaccination
and protect animals for a year or longer
but, however, cannot be guaranteed in all animals.
PACKING
Available in bottles of 100 doses. |
