Hyogen
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Pigs for fattening
Indications
For the active immunization of fattening pigs from 3 weeks of age to reduce the occurrence and severity of lung lesions caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection.
Onset of immunity: 3 weeks after the vaccination
Duration of immunity: 26 weeks after vaccination
Dose to be administered and administration route
When Hyogen is used alone:
Intramuscular use.
Vaccinate pigs in the side of their neck.
Administer a single dose of 2 ml from 3 weeks of age.
The data available are not sufficient to exclude the interaction of maternally derived antibodies with vaccine uptake. Interaction with maternal-derived antibodies is known and should be taken into consideration. It is recommended to delay vaccination in piglets with residual MDA at the age of 3 weeks.
Shake well before use.
Use sterile syringe and needle, respect aseptic conditions of vaccination.
When Hyogen is mixed with Circovac:
Piglets from 3 weeks of age:
|
Hyogen |
Circovac |
|
100 doses (200 ml of vaccine) |
100 doses for piglets (50 ml of reconstituted suspension + emulsion) |
Vaccine devices should be used under aseptic conditions and in accordance with the device instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Prepare Circovac by shaking vigorously the vial of antigen suspension and injecting its content into the vial of emulsion containing adjuvant.
Mix 200 ml of Hyogen and 50 ml of Circovac and shake gently until a homogeneous white emulsion is obtained.
Administer one 2.5 ml dose of the mixture by deep intramuscular injection.
Use the entire vaccine mixture immediately after mixing. Read also the product information of Circovac before use.
Adverse reactions
On the day of vaccination a transient mean increase in body temperature of about 1.3°C is very common. In an individual pig this increase might reach 2oC, but in all cases body temperature is back to normal the next day.
A local reaction at the site of injection in the form of a swelling of a diameter up to 5 cm can be very common, which can last for three days. These reactions are of transient nature and do not need further treatment.
Immediate mild hypersensitivity-like reactions may occur uncommonly after vaccination, resulting in transient clinical signs such as vomiting.
Serious anaphylactic-type reactions (shock, recumbency) which may be fatal have been reported very rarely from post-marketing surveillance. Such reactions require prompt symptomatic treatment.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction (s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
