Zoetis UltraBac 8 Vaccine

Description

UltraBac 8 is for vaccination of healthy cattle as an aid in preventing blackleg

Helps prevent eight clostridial diseases (including diseases caused by CI. haemolyticum and CI perfringens Types B, C, and D), which continue to be of economic importance in cattle.  Clostridium bacteria are universally present and produce potent toxins that can result in rapid death of otherwise healthy animals.

• Helps protect against the primary cause of respiratory death in cattle, shipping fever and pneumonia caused by Mannheimia haemolytica Type A1.
• Produces leukotoxin and whole-cell antibody responses, helping provide protection needed to withstand Mannheimia haemolytica challenge.
• Contains Stimugen®, a patented, water-soluble adjuvant that enhances the immune response with minimal risk of injection-site reactions.
• No age restrictions on use.
• Subcutaneous (SC) dose is 2 mL followed by a second 2-mL dose of UltraChoice® 8 four to six weeks later.
  

Directions

General directions

Vaccination of healthy cattle is recommended. Aseptically rehydrate the freeze-dried bacterin-toxoid (One Shot Ultra 8) with the accompanying vial of diluent (UltraChoice 8), shake well, and administer 2 mL subcutaneously. In accordance with Beef Quality Assurance guidelines, this product should be administered subcutaneously (SC) under the skin.

Primary vaccination

Administer a single 2-mL dose to healthy cattle, followed by a second 2-mL dose of UltraChoice 8 four to six weeks later. For Cl. haemolyticum repeat the dose every 6 months in animals subject to re-exposure.

Revaccination

Annual revaccination with a single dose of UltraChoice 8 is recommended. Good management practices support revaccination with One Shot® whenever subsequent stress or exposure is likely.

Good animal husbandry and herd health management practices should be employed. Store at 2 degrees-7degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures may adversely affect potency. Do not freeze.
