Tell me more about the product.

MAXI/GUARD Nasal Vac is administered intranasally (0.5ml/nostril) during the first 1-3 days of life where it quickly colonizes the nasal turbinate and respiratory (tracheal, bronchial) ciliated epithelium. Colonization by this organism is important during the first 21 days of life as this is a critical period for damage to the mucociliary apparatus by pathogenic Bordetella. Natural infection by Pasteurella multocida resulting in severe Atrophic Rhinitis increases between 12-16 weeks in unprotected animals. Nasal syringe tips are provided with the vaccine. These enable direct application into the nasal cavity. The vaccine is delivered as a liquid stream directly into the nostrils while the piglet is held upright with the head and nose projected upward.

Helpful Hint

One-half ml in each nostril, as close to the first day of life as possible, provides low cost respiratory disease control.
