Ovipast
For animal use only.
 
Ovipast is an adjuvanted multi-valent vaccine, without antibiotics or preservatives, formulated with Mannheimia haemolytica leukotoxin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) supernatant antigens, as well as Pasteurella multocida type A bacterin. Ovipast aids in the prevention of sheep and goat pneumonia (Pasteurellosis).
 
DOSAGE FORM
Vaccine suspension for injection of a 1 ml dose via the subcutaneous route. A booster vaccination ofa 1 ml should be administered 3 to 4 weeks later. Annual revaccination is recommended thereafter.
 
Directions for use
  • Shake the bottle well before and during use with gentle end-over-end mixing.
  • Inject sheep and goats subcutaneously on the side of the neck. DO NOT deviate from the recommended route and injection site location.
  • Sheep and goats may be vaccinated from age of weaning and older.
  • Ovipast can be administered to pregnant ewes to ensure passive antibody transfer to the lamb provided the lamb consumes sufficient quality colostrum within 1 day.
  • It is essential to adhere to the vaccination programme to maintain a satisfactory immune response.
  • Animals may therefore require a full vaccination program to be completed before the period of highest risk associated with respiratory pneumonia.
 
STORAGE
Store in a refrigerator between 2 and 8°C. Do not freeze. Protect from high temperatures and direct sunlight. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging and container. Do not store any vials into which a needle or other device has been inserted, for future use.
