CASE-BAC vaccine is indicated for use in healthy sheep as an aid in preventing caseous lymphadenitis (a contagious bacterial infection of the lymph nodes) caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Formulated from detoxified and purified whole cultures of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Killed vaccine with efficacy for prevention and control against caseous lymphadenitis when sheep are vaccinated post disease exposure.
Labeled for: sheep
Species: sheep
Administer 2 ml subcutaneously (axillary space). Repeat 4 weeks later (axillary space opposite to first dose). Booster with 2 ml dose annually.
Slight lameness (soreness) in lambs may be observed, along with lethargy, in a percentage of the mature animals following vaccination. Sheep are inclined to become depressed and may limp after foreign substances are administered or because of increased exertion and stimulation of vaccination. While noticeable, these symptoms usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours and can be considered minor vaccination reactions. If suggested care is taken in preparing vaccination equipment, and in administering the product, there should be no abscessation at the site of injection.
