ATCvet code: QI09AB04.
Pharmacotherapeutic group
Inactivated bacterial vaccine.
To stimulate active immunity in order to provide passive immunity to the progeny against progressive atrophic rhinitis. Dermonecrotic toxin producing P. multocida is the pathogen responsible for turbinate atrophy in progressive atrophic rhinitis. Colonisation of the surface of the nasal mucosa by P. multocida is most often promoted by B. bronchiseptica. The vaccine contains a non-toxic recombinant derivative of the P. multocida toxin and inactivated B. bronchiseptica cells. The immunogens are incorporated in an adjuvant based on dl-α-tocopherol. Neonatal piglets derive passive immunity via ingestion of colostrum from vaccinated sows/gilts.
