What Is Heptavac P Used For
Vaccines are an essential part of farm animal health maintenance. They protect against a broad range of diseases by stimulating antibody production, which in turn prepares the body to respond to future infection. Heptavac P Plus is an injectable vaccine for sheep, goats and pigs that protects against bacterial diseases caused by Escherichia coli and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. In cattle and horses, the vaccine helps manage infections caused by E Coli and Salmonella spp. The injection is suitable vaccination for lambs from two weeks old onward; calves older than two weeks; sheep, goats or pigs over three months old; as well as foals older than three months. It should not be used on pregnant animals or younger animals under 3 months old (except lambs).
Heptavac P Plus is an injectable vaccine of inactivated sheep E. Coli and other bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae. Specifically, the vaccine manages bacterial diseases that cause septicaemia and meningitis.

Heptavac P Plus is used to prevent the occurrence of these diseases in sheep, goats, cattle and pigs (hepatic encephalomyelitis).
Injection of the vaccine is suitable for lambs and calves over two weeks old, as well as sheep, goats, pigs and foals older than three months. The vaccine should not be administered to pregnant animals or animals younger than the minimum age.

Animals must be healthy with no signs of respiratory illnesses or skin lesions before vaccination. Animals should not have been recently treated with antibiotics or vaccines that contain the same components as Heptavac P. Vaccines containing live virus can affect pregnant animals and cause abortions or stillbirths in offspring born within 28 days after vaccination.
The medicine is manufactured by MSD Animal Health Ireland Ltd, a subsidiary of the world’s largest animal health company. The injectable contains 2.5ml of liquid, which suffices to vaccinate up to 50 animals depending on their size and type, as well as 2 needles.

Animals can be given a maximum of two injections per lifetime but should only be treated once per disease event. One dose typically confers protection against diseases caused by Escherichia coli for six months after vaccination, though this depends on factors like animal species and overall health at the time of vaccination. Takeaway: A high-quality injectable vaccine affords protection from bacterial diseases caused by E Coli and Enterobacteriaceae family bacteria
Heptavac P is a high-quality injectable vaccine that can be used to protect animals from bacterial diseases caused by Escherichia coli and Enterobacteriaceae family bacteria. The efficacy of this vaccine has been proven, with studies showing that one dose typically confers protection against diseases caused by Escherichia coli for six months after vaccination, though this depends on factors like animal species and overall health at the time of vaccination.

Based on the results of clinical trials, Heptavac P is a safe and effective way to protect sheep against disease. So far, it has been shown to eliminate mortality caused by C. perfringens type B in lambs and ewes, as well as reduce other common causes of morbidity like chronic diarrhea and pneumonia. The vaccine is even approved for use in pregnant ewes without any adverse effects on gestation or production—and it remains effective for at least six months after administration.
