BOVILIS® NASALGEN® IP
Bovine Rhinotracheitis-Parainfluenza 3 Vaccine
Product Description
The original intranasal.
Designed for convenience, the original BOVILIS® NASALGEN® IP vaccination is an aid in the prevention of disease caused by infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and parainfluenza 3 (PI3) viruses.
Indications
This product has been shown effective for the vaccination of healthy cattle 5 months of age or older against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and parainfluenza 3 viruses. Duration of immunity has not been established.
Diseases
- Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR)
- Parainfluenze 3 (PI3)
Designed for no injection site reactions to help your operation meet Beef Quality Assurance standards.
Key Benefits
Fast-acting to build a strong foundation
- Provides rapid onset of protection
- No temperature sensitivity issues that would negatively impact replication once administered2
- Stimulates active immunity in the face of maternal antibodies1
Innovative Intranasal Delivery
- Stimulates local production of antibodies at the site where infectious pathogens enter the respiratory system – the mucosal lining of the nasal cavity
A Game-changing Vaccine
Innovation is critical in vaccine development. For decades it was believed that vaccinating young animals was not effective because of maternal antibody interference. The industry needed to find a way to protect young calves from BRD.
Learn from members of the team who brought to market BOVILIS NASALGEN 3-PMH — the first and only intranasal BRD vaccine offering protection against viral and bacterial pathogens.
Dosage
Rehydrate freeze dried vial with the accompanying vial of diluent. Using separate disposable cannula for each animal, administer 2.0 mL into one nostril or 1.0 mL into each nostril for a 2.0 mL dose. Historically, revaccination of young calves has been recommended. The need for this booster has not been established. The presence of maternal antibody is known to interfere with the development of active immunity in calves and additional boosters will be required in most young animals.
Supplied
20 mL x 10 doses (2 mL per dose)
100 mL x 50 doses (2 mL per dose)
Preservative
Contains gentamicin as a preservative.
