Ultravac 7 in 1 for Cattle Vaccination 250ml

Ultravac 7 in 1 cattle Vaccination 

• Ultravac 7in1 vaccine is used to prevent leptospirosis and the major clostridial diseases in cattle.

Ultravac 7in1 is used for the routine immunisation of cattle for the prevention of:

• enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney disease),
• tetanus,
• black disease,
• malignant oedema (blackleg-like disease), including swelled head in rams,
• blackleg in cattle and sheep and
• leptospirosis (L. Hardjo and L. Pomona).

For the prevention of urinary shedding of the named leptospires in cattle when used prior to natural exposure and to prevent the risk of human leptospiral infection associated with the shedding of the named leptospires in the urine and from the reproductive tract of cattle.

For the prevention of reproductive tract colonisation and placental and foetal infection with L. Hardjo.

• Ultravac 7in1 is based on the strain of L. Hardjo prevalent in Australia – Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo type hardjo-bovis as well as Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona.

• Ultravac 7in1 vaccine provides unique protection by preventing the shedding of leptospires L. Hardjo and L. Pomona in the urine and from the reproductive tract. This means that as well as the animal being protected from the productivity losses associated with leptospirosis, the vaccine also prevents the animal from contaminating the environment and placing unvaccinated cattle and people at risk.

• Ultravac 7in1 can be used from 6 weeks of age (or from 4 weeks of age when the risk of infection is high to provide early age protection – refer to product label for additional advice). This ensures early protection after two initial doses and provides effective year long protection. A single annual dose is all that is required to provide on-going annual protection, without the need for six-monthly booster doses. Note that additional doses of Ultravac 5in1 may be required to maintain immunity to enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney). These are given prior to seasonal challenge and advice from your local veterinarian is recommended.

 

* When the risk of infection is high the vaccination of calves can start from 4 weeks of age. However if the initial two doses are completed before 3 months of age then additional doses should be given 6 months later, then annually.

**Previously unvaccinated cattle will receive 2 doses 4-6 weeks apart.

†Ideally it is best to coincide steer vaccination with heifer vaccination.
