Vaccines

Bacterial vaccines for the protection of small ruminants is an area of ​​expertise that we inherited from the company's previous experience in biological products.

Coglavax® (Vaccine for protection against Clostridial toxins)

A polyvalent-inactivated Toxoïd vaccine for the prevention of the following conditions caused by Clostridial toxins in sheep and cattle:

  • Clostridial Myositis (Gas Gangrene in cattle and sheep, Malignant oedema, Black quarter (Sponsiekte) in cattle and sheep,  Uterine gas gangrene in cattle and sheep, Necrotic hepatitis)
  • Enterotoxaemia (Redgut in cattle, Bloodgut in sheep, Pulpy kidney, Lamb dysentery, Haemorrhagic enteritis)
  • Tetanus (Lock jaw)  

Coglavax® induces 2 IU antibodies per mℓ serum in test animals, against Alpha toxin of Clostridium perfringens Type A. 

Benefits:

Effectively reduces the risk of losses due to toxin production following the overgrowth of the ubiquitous Clostridial bacteria in the muscle and the gut, under the following circumstances:

  • Fast growing stock with high dry matter intake
  • After parturition in ewes, heifers and cows
  • During intake of lush growing pasture
  • Variation in intakes as is often the case in zero-grazing dairy systems and beef & sheep feedlots
  • In wounds (e.g. caused by shearing, uterine wounds, tail docking, castration and teething)

Lower risk of injection site tissue reactions.

Benefits:

Helps prevent Chlamydophila abortus-related losses in conceptuses in ewes to help minimize the difference between scan conception and actual lambs born.  This modified live vaccine provides an immunity that lasts for 2 years; the cellular protection is immediate and shedding of Chlamydophila abortus organisms by symptomless carriers into the environment is minimized.
