ZOETIS - GLANVAC 6S B12 VACCINE
DESCRIPTION:
– Glanvac 6 S B12 provides sheep with protection against Cheesy Gland (CLA) and the 5 main clostridial diseases (Black Disease, Black Leg, Malignant Oedema, Pulpy Kidney, and Tetanus) with the added benefit of correcting Selenium and Vitamin B12 deficiencies in sheep and lambs.
– Cheesy Gland (CLA) is a risk to all Australian sheep flocks. Clostridial diseases are found Australia wide in the soil and the environment.
– Selenium is an essential trace element that is vital for wool production, growth and fertility. Selenium deficiencies in sheep result in reduced wool production and growth rates, ill thrift, infertility in ewes and death of young lambs due to White Muscle Disease.
– Vitamin B12 is required for energy production, cell division and replication as well as wool production. Vitamin B12 deficiencies in sheep result in decreased appetite, reduced growth rates, reduced lactation, reduced wool production and anaemia.
– Glanvac 6S B12 utilises Zoetis' ultra-filtration technology, this allows the vaccine to produce a more targeted immune response in sheep, while providing producers with the convenience of a 1 mL dose rate.
KEY BENEFITS:
– Creates a high level of disease protection in the breeding flock.
