Ultravac 5 in 1 Vaccine 50mls

Ultravac® 5in1 Vaccine for Cattle and Sheep

Ultravac® 5in1 is designed to protect cattle and sheep against major clostridial diseases. It provides prevention for:

• Enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney disease)
• Tetanus
• Black disease
• Malignant oedema (similar to blackleg)
• Blackleg in cattle and sheep, including swelled head in rams.

Please note, no vaccination certificate will be provided when administering this vaccine.

Dosage and Administration:

• Cattle (including calves):

  • Initial dose: 2mL
  • Second dose: 2mL, administered 4 weeks later.
    The first vaccination should be given at 6 weeks of age, with a second dose 4 to 6 weeks later.

• Sheep (including lambs):

  • Initial dose: 1mL
  • Second dose: 1mL, administered 4 weeks later.
    The first vaccination should be given at lamb marking or at 6 weeks of age for lambs. A second dose should follow 4 to 6 weeks later.

A booster dose given 12 months after the two initial doses should provide lifelong immunity against blackleg and tetanus. Annual boosters are recommended to maintain immunity against black disease and malignant oedema.

For enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney), more frequent doses may be needed. These should be given before seasonal challenges, and your local veterinarian can provide guidance.

Annual Boosters:

Annual booster doses should be administered approximately 4 weeks before calving or lambing to ensure passive immunity is passed onto newborn calves or lambs through colostrum (first milk).

Storage and Handling:

• The vaccine can be used for up to 30 days after opening, provided correct storage conditions are followed.
• Storage: Keep the vaccine upright in the original cardboard packaging at a temperature between 2°C to 8°C (refrigerated), and protect from light.
• After each use, disinfect the opening of the vial with a suitable disinfectant (such as methylated spirits). Always use a sterile needle to remove the vaccine.

Please follow these guidelines for proper handling and storage to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine.
