Porcilis AR-T DF
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Pigs (sows and gilts).
Indications
For the reduction of clinical signs of progressive atrophic rhinitis in piglets by passive oral immunisation with colostrum from dams actively immunised with the vaccine.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Before use, allow the vaccine to reach room temperature. Shake vigorously before and at intervals during use. Avoid introduction of contamination.
Administer one dose of 2 ml by intramuscular injection to pigs of 18 weeks of age and older. The vaccine should preferably be administered just behind the ear.
Vaccination scheme:
Primary vaccination: inject one dose (2 ml) per pig, followed by a second injection 4 weeks after the first injection. The first injection should be administered 6 weeks before the expected date of farrowing.
Revaccination: a single injection of one dose (2 ml) should be carried out 2 to 4 weeks prior to each subsequent farrowing.
Adverse reactions
A mean transient increase in body temperature of 1.5 °C, in some pigs up to 3 °C, which could lead to an abortion, can generally be measured on the day of vaccination or the following day. Reduced activity and lack of appetite on the day of vaccination very commonly occurs and/or a transient swelling (max diameter: 10 cm) for up to two weeks may arise at the site of injection. In very rare cases other immediate hypersensitivity reactions, e.g. vomiting, dyspnoea and shock, may occur.
