Bovilis Huskvac
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Cattle.
Indications
For the active immunisation of cattle to reduce clinical signs and lesions of parasitic bronchitis attributable to Dictyocaulus viviparous (lungworm).
Onset of immunity: 2 weeks after completion of the basic vaccination scheme.
Duration of immunity: lungworm immunity is maintained from season to season by the exposure to lungworm larvae, which in most cases occurs from the grazing of normal pastures. If such exposure does not occur, a single booster dose is required prior to each season’s turnout.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Vaccinate healthy animals of 8 weeks of age and older.
Shake bottle well immediately before use and administer the full dose (25 ml) orally.
Vaccination regime
Basic vaccination scheme
Two doses at a dosage interval of approximately 4 weeks.
Re-vaccination
Lungworm immunity is maintained from season to season by the exposure to lungworm larvae, which in most cases occurs from the grazing of normal pastures after vaccination. Under these conditions of exposure, re-vaccination is generally not required.
A single dose of Bovilis Huskvac prior to each season’s turnout will boost immunity where such exposure has not occurred, e.g. extensive use of anthelmintics or if using reserved or clean pasture for a large part of the grazing season.
Adverse reactions
Transient episodes of coughing may occur approximately 7 days after either dose of Bovilis Huskvac but these usually subside in a few days.
