Rispoval Pasteurella
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Cattle from 3 months of age.
Indications
For active immunisation of cattle to reduce lesions and respiratory disease caused by Mannheimia haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1.
Studies carried out show that a single dose is sufficient to confer protection from challenge by Mannheimia haemolytica within 7 days of vaccination. The vaccine will protect animals for at least 17 weeks.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Reconstitute the vaccine by first shaking the vial containing the emulsion, and then aseptically withdraw and add all of the emulsion to the vial containing the lyophilisate. Shake well and aseptically administer 2 ml intramuscularly.
Do not use chemically sterilised syringes or needles.
Vaccination programme
A single two ml dose of reconstituted vaccine to be given to healthy cattle over the age of 3 months.
A single dose of vaccine will protect animals for at least 17 weeks. Should cattle be at risk from pasteurellosis at a subsequent time, a single vaccination is recommended at least 7 days prior to the period of expected disease challenge.
Adverse reactions
A transient local swelling at the injection site is very commonly observed within 24 to 48 hours post vaccination. The swellings are up to 14 cm in diameter and usually disappear within 2 weeks post vaccination, with no need for treatment.
On rare occasions, the local reaction may take longer to resolve (up to 52 days).
A transient increase in rectal temperature (up to a maximum of 40.9°C) is very commonly observed within 1 to 4 hours post vaccination. Temperatures return to normal within 4 days without treatment.
Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions may occur. In such cases, appropriate treatment e.g. adrenaline and/or antihistamine should be given without delay.
Muscular trembling has also been noted very rarely.”
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)
