Coglavax® (Vaccine for protection against Clostridial toxins)
A polyvalent-inactivated Toxoïd vaccine for the prevention of the following conditions caused by Clostridial toxins in sheep and cattle:
- Clostridial Myositis (Gas Gangrene in cattle and sheep, Malignant oedema, Black quarter in cattle and sheep, Uterine gas gangrene in cattle and sheep, Necrotic hepatitis)
- Enterotoxaemia (Redgut in cattle, Bloodgut in sheep, Pulpy kidney, Lamb dysentery, Haemorrhagic enteritis)
- Tetanus (Lock jaw)
Coglavax® induces 2 IU antibodies per mℓ serum against Alpha toxin of Clostridium perfringens Type A.
Benefits:
Effectively reduces the risk of losses due to toxin production following the overgrowth of the ubiquitous Clostridial bacteria in the gut, under the following circumstances:
- Fast growing stock with high dry matter intake
- After parturition in heifers and cows
- During intake of lush growing pasture
- Variation in intakes as is often the case in zero-grazing dairy systems and beef & sheep feedlots
- In wounds (e.g. caused by shearing, uterine wounds, tail docking, castration and teething)
Lower risk of injection site tissue reactions.
