Immunological properties

Induces the immune protection in healthy pigs within 48 hours after administration, and the optimal level of immunity is formed within 7 days and lasts up to 6 months. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) the antibodies against glycoprotein E (gE) or B (gB) can be determined in the sera of vaccinated animals that allows to differentiate vaccinated from infected pigs.

Target species

Indications

Preventive immunization of clinically healthy pigs against Aujeszky’s disease.

Interaction with other preparations

Special precautions (in the period of gestation)

It’s not recommended to vaccinate the pregnant sows one week before farrowing.

Route of administration and dosage

Just prior to use the vaccine is reconstituted by "Solvent for live vaccines" or soline solution in the rate of 2.0 ml per dose. Inject 2.0 ml of vaccine intramuscularly in the neck muscles or intranasally 1.0 ml per nostril.

Most optimal scheme of vaccination for each farm is developed on the results of serological monitoring of blood serum samples of pigs.

Recommended vaccination program:

• All swine population to be immunized for the first time, is vaccinated intramuscularly twice with interval of 3-4 weeks (mass vaccination).

Further on:

• Sows and boars: mass vaccination three times a year. If there is an intense pressure of field virus on a farm: 4 mass vaccinations are carried out during the first year (every three months).
• Replacement gilts are vaccinated twice: 1st time – 2 months before insemination and a booster vaccination in 3-4 weeks.

Piglets are vaccinated twice: 1st time at age of 9 weeks, 2nd time – at age of 12 weeks

If infection of piglets on the farm takes place before 10 weeks of age (early infection the piglets are to be vaccinated intranasally at a dose of 1.0 ml in each nostril during suckling period and following intramuscular vaccination at age of 6-8 and at 9-12 weeks.

Withdrawal period

0 days.

Self life

18 months. When dissolved the vaccine should be used within 3 hours of reconstitution.

Storage conditions
