Ovipast is an adjuvanted multi-valent ovine and caprine 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.
