Neovac®

Neovac® vaccine is used as an aid in the control of neonatal scours occurring in the first 7 to 10 days in new born piglets due to E. coli in pigs.

• An aid in the control of neonatal scours in new born piglets occurring in the first 7 to 10 days of life.
• Vaccination stimulates high levels of antibodies in the colostrum (first milk) of the sow which are transferred to the newborn piglet to provide passive protection.
• Neovac® vaccine is effective in the control of E. coli scours when sows are vaccinated during pregnancy. Vaccination stimulates high levels of antibodies in the colostrum (first milk) of the sow which are transferred to the newborn piglet to provide passive protection.

Neovac® vaccine is used to control the neonatal scours in newborn piglets caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli.

Neovac® vaccine is a cell free vaccine.  It is prepared from purified K88ac, K88ab, K99 and 987P pilus antigens from E. coli to produce a strong immune response

1mL intramuscularly at the base of and immediately behind the ear.

IMPORTANT: To be protected, newborn piglets must obtain adequate quantities of colostrum from the sow as soon as possible after birth.

Neovac® vaccine will not prevent scours caused by other disease agents. This product is not recommended for post-weaning E. coli enteritis as this is caused by different strains of E.Coli or for the treatment of clinically ill piglets.

Vaccination Program:

Previously unvaccinated sows, and sows in their first pregnancy should be vaccinated twice, once at 8-10 weeks prior to farrowing and again 2-4 weeks prior to farrowing (an interval between vaccinations of 4-8 weeks).
