VACCINE - PESTIGARD 250ML ZOETIS 10001709

Pestigard is the first vaccine for the prevention of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), otherwise known as Bovine Pestivirus in cattle in Australia.

Pestigard is the only vaccine registered in Australia that prevents the highly contagious virus called pestivirus.

This virus can damage herd reproduction rates and cause immunosuppression in recently infected cattle.

Recommendations For Use:

For the active immunisation of cattle against BVDV and to reduce reproductive losses due to BVDV. For the prevention of nasal shedding of BVDV.

The Zoetis Advantage:

BVDV is a widespread disease throughout Australian cattle herds causing significant productivity loss by affecting the reproductive performance of the herd or increasing susceptibility to other common diseases.

The introduction of a Pestigard vaccination program will reduce reproductive loss caused by BVDV.

Pestigard will also stimulate active immunity against BVDV which will assist in the reduction of losses associated with the Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) complex and other clinical diseases where BVDV is implicated.

A Pestigard vaccination program can be conveniently integrated into existing management practices

Only Pestigard is registered in Australia to prevent pestivirus:

There are no other registered vaccines.
