Indications
For the active immunisation of sheep against Pulpy Kidney disease (enterotoxaemia). The active component, when injected into a healthy, susceptible animal stimulates the immune response and provokes the formation of epsilon antitoxin.

Composition
Toxoid obtained from a culture in a liquid medium of a suitable strain of Clostridium perfringens type D inactivated in such a manner that immunogenic activity is retained.

Warnings

• DO NOT SLAUGHTER ANIMALS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION WITHIN 20 DAYS OF VACCINATION.
• Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.
• Some animals may develop a transient inflammatory reaction over the injection site, which is normal following vaccination with an oily vaccine.
• In case of inoculation in the hind quarters, a slight limp could arise ± 2 days after injection and disappear 2 - 3 days later. A moderate rise in temperature may also follow vaccination.
• As with all vaccines, occasional hypersensitivity reactions may occur. In such cases, appropriate treatment such as adrenaline and/or antihistamines should be administered without delay.
• 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.
• Only sterile needles and properly sterilised vaccinator should be used. In order to maintain a proper hygiene, it is advisable to change to clean sterile needles as frequently as possible.
• The vaccine should be administered by deep intramuscular injection.
• Sheep should first be vaccinated at 4 months of age and annually thereafter.
• In order to ensure a proper inoculation, it is preferable to inject the vaccine while fleece is short.
• Immunity is established within 2 - 3 weeks after inoculation and lasts for 1 year.
• Lambs born from ewes vaccinated 10 - 14 days before lambing are protected for 12 - 16 weeks by the antibodies passed in the colostrum.
• As usual with all vaccines, absolute immunity cannot be guaranteed in all animals. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian regarding additional control measures, instead of relying on the vaccine alone.
