Indications
Active immunisation of cattle from 10 weeks of age:
BRSV and PI-3: to reduce virus shedding, hyperthermia, clinical signs and lung lesions.
BoHV-1: to reduce virus shedding, hyperthermia and clinical signs of IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis).
BVDV: to reduce viremia, hyperthermia and leukopenia caused by BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 and virus shedding caused by BVDV-2.
Active immunisation of heifers and cows to reduce from births of persistently infected calves and transplacental infection of BVDV (type 1 and 2).
Onset of immunity:
3 weeks after completion of the basic vaccination scheme.
Reduction of transplacental infection from BVDV (type 1 and 2) is achieved 3 weeks after completion of the re-vaccination scheme.
Duration of immunity:
6 months after completion of the basic vaccination scheme.
1 year after completion of the re-vaccination scheme for BoHV-1 and BVDV (type 1 and 2).
Dose to be administered and administration route
Intramuscular use.
For use in cattle from 10 weeks of age onwards.
Basic vaccination scheme: administer two doses (2 ml each) with an interval of 3 weeks.
Re-vaccination scheme: one dose of 2 ml should be administered at an interval not longer than 6 months after completion of the basic vaccination scheme.
Subsequent re-vaccination scheme: one dose of 2 ml should be administered at an interval not longer than 12 months.
DIVENCE IBR MARKER LIVE may be used for subsequent re-vaccinations after vaccination with DIVENCE PENTA if there is no further need for protection against BRSV, PI-3 and BVDV.
DIVENCE TRI may be used for subsequent re-vaccinations after vaccination with DIVENCE PENTA if there is no further need for protection against BVDV.
Method of administration:
Avoid contamination during reconstitution and use. Use only sterile needles and syringes for administration.
Reconstitute the lyophilisate with the entire content of the supplied solvent to obtain an emulsion for injection.
The reconstituted vaccine is a white-to-yellow emulsion.
Allow the vaccine to reach a temperature of 15 °C – 25 °C before administration.
Adverse reactions
Cattle:
Very common (>1 animal / 10 animals treated): |
|
Uncommon (1 to 10 animals / 1,000 animals treated): |
Anaphylactic-type reaction3. Milk production decrease 4. Reduced food intake4, Decreased activity4. |
1 A slight to moderate transient injection site inflammation (up to 14 cm of diameter) may be observed, which rapidly decreases in diameter within 2 days and subsides within 2 weeks without treatment.
2 An elevated temperature (mean increase 1.7 ºC, in individual animals up to 2.4 ºC) may occur after vaccination. This increase subsided spontaneously within 3 days.
3 In cases of anaphylactic-type reactions, an appropriate symptomatic treatment should be administered.
4 A temporary mild reduction in milk production, feed intake and activity may uncommonly be observed in dairy cows mostly after the first dose. Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product.
Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals
To the user:
This veterinary medicinal product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/selfinjection may result in severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger, and in rare cases could result in the loss of the affected finger if prompt medical attention is not given. If you are accidentally injected with this veterinary medicinal product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very small amount is injected and take the package leaflet with you. If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek medical advice again.
To the physician:
This veterinary medicinal product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have been injected, accidental injection with this veterinary medicinal product can cause intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even the loss of a digit. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon.>

4. IMMUNOLOGICAL INFORMATION
4.1 ATCvet code: QI02AH
To stimulate active immunity against bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1), bovine parainfluenza 3 virus (PI-3) and bovine viral diarrhoea virus types 1 and 2 (BVDV-1 and BVDV-2).
For bovine herpesvirus type 1 vaccinated animals can be differentiated from field virus infected animals due to the marker deletion (gE-) by means of commercial diagnostic kits.
For BVDV, the vaccine only contains the immunogenic glycoprotein E2, present in BVDV-1 and BVDV-2. Hence, since vaccination does not induce the production of antibodies against any other protein present in BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 different from E2 (marker vaccine), vaccinated animals can be differentiated from field virus infected animals by means of commercial diagnostic kits.
