Prevents botulism types C & D
Botulism is a severe and fatal disease of sheep and cattle. It is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Cl. botulinum. Uncontrolled in cattle, it may cause significant annual losses, and in outbreaks losses may be 25% or more of the herd1. Vaccination is the only practical way to prevent botulism. The disease is especially common in phosphorous and protein deficient areas across northern Australia, but outbreaks can also occur in grazing cattle in southern Australia, as well as in dairies and feedlots.
Rapid onset of immunity
Immunity develops within 14 days of vaccination.
Aluminium adjuvanted toxoid and cellular antigen from:
Clostridium botulinum type C
Clostridium botulinum type D
DOSAGE & DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Cattle:
Dosage: 2 mL dose by subcutaneous injection, (under the skin, NOT into the muscle).
Cattle of all ages: 2 mL dose followed by a second 2 mL dose 4 to 6 weeks later. A 2 mL annual booster dose is recommended. Optimal immunity requires 2 doses of 2 mL each, 4 to 6 weeks apart. However, the giving of the second 2 mL dose is not always possible in extensive pastoral areas. In these circumstances the immunity produced by a single 2 mL dose will provide worthwhile protection.
Immunity develops within 14 days of vaccination.
Sheep:
Dosage: 1 mL dose by subcutaneous injection, (under the skin, NOT into the muscle).
Sheep of all ages: 1 mL dose followed by a second 1 mL dose 12 months later. This usually
confers lifelong immunity.
