Black disease,
Malignant oedema (blackleg-like disease), including swelled head in rams and blackleg in cattle and sheep.

The Zoetis Advantage is unique, only Ultravac 5in1:

Uses an ultrafiltration technology.
Zoetis unique ultra-filtration process creates a more pure vaccine that stimulates a targeted response by the immune system.
It ensures rapid and effective protection against the dangerous clostridial diseases.

This provides added convenience as this longevity enables the vaccine to easily fit in with farm management practices.

The recommended dose is 2 mL for cattle and 1mL for sheep.
This means less fridge space is required and fewer vaccine bottle changes are needed when vaccinating large numbers of stock.
Ultravac 5in1 is also safe for all stages of pregnancy.

Dosage:

A booster dose given 12 months after the two basic doses of vaccine should confer lifelong immunity against blackleg and tetanus.
However, further annual boosters are required to maintain immunity against black disease and malignant oedema.

More regular doses may be required to maintain immunity against enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney). These are best given prior to seasonal challenge and advice from your local veterinarian is recommended.
