Composition
Alum-precipitated Clostridium perfringens type D toxoids.

Warnings

  • DO NOT SLAUGHTER ANIMALS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION WITHIN 7 DAYS OF VACCINATION.
  • Usually no marked reaction follows vaccination although a transient swelling may appear at the site of inoculation, and some animals may show a moderate rise in temperature for one or two days.
  • Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.
  • Although this vaccine 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.

  • Shake bottle well before use and repeat from time to time during the vaccination process.
  • Part-used containers should be disposed of at the end of each day's operation since under field conditions it may be difficult to avoid accidental contamination of the vaccine.
  • If possible use a separate, sharp, sterile needle for each animal.
  • Administer the vaccine subcutaneously on the side of the neck midway between the shoulder and the head.
  • Sheep not previously vaccinated should be given two injections of vaccine, with an interval of 4 - 6 weeks.
  • Lambs can be immunised from 3 months of age. Administer a second dose 4 - 6 weeks later.
  • An annual booster injection should be given to the whole flock 2 - 6 weeks before the ewes are due to lamb.
  • Lambs born from ewes vaccinated before lambing are protected for 12 - 16 weeks by the antibodies passed in the colostrum.
  • It is sound practice to reinoculate vaccinated sheep shortly before the period of greatest risk.
  • Note: Lambs younger than 2 months and animals in poor condition, infested with parasites or which are suffering from other diseases will not immunise well.
