Viral protection of sows and their foetuses against PRR-virus, Circovirus and Parvovirus inside the uterus.
A single vaccination of gilts against PRRS is insufficient for optimal protection. When facing PRRS-outbreaks, a stable herd immunity can only be achieved by total herd vaccination. Well tolerated sow vaccines allow vaccination of gestating sows during every stage of pregnancy.
Behavioural studies show: Differences in suckling-activity of piglets and/or feed intake after vaccination can be explained largely by the tolerance or intolerance of piglets to the vaccines applied.
Inflammation of specific udder segments can occur at any stage during the lactation.
When milk-release is impaired by mastitis in one or more udder segments, there is the threat that FIL (a protein) will be released: when the concentration of this protein in the udder milk in creases, milk production is suppressed and eventually milk flow will stop.
It’s one of the most devastating and economically damaging pig diseases in the world: Porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD). It can strike early or appear in a late form. And once it strikes, the consequences are never good.
ARTES Biotechnology has announced a collaboration with global pharmaceutical company, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health. ARTES Biotechnology specialises in recombinant protein production, process and vaccine development from microbial expression systems. ARTES’ expression system Hansenula polymorpha is the preferred technology for affordable mass vaccination and recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for these purposes. In combination with ARTES’ METAVAX® platform, this offers a new, unique and economical approach to low-cost mass production of safe and effective vaccines required in the veterinary field.
Boehringer Ingelheim’s Metacam® (active ingredient: Meloxicam) 5mg/ml solution for injection obtained EU wide marketing authorization for its use as an analgesic to relieve post operative pain associated with castration in piglets.
