Merck Covexin 8 is a killed vaccine offering protection against 8 clostridium strains. For use in healthy cattle and sheep to provide protection against Clostridium chauvoei (blackleg), C. septicum, C. novyi Type B, C. haemolyticum (known also as C. novyi Type D or redwater), C. tetani (tetanus) and C. perfringens Types C and D (overeating). Also offers immunity in the prevention of diseases caused by the beta and epsilon toxins of an additional organism, C. perfringens Type B. Although C. perfringens Type B is not a significant problem in North America (US), immunity is derived from a combination of Type C (beta) and Type D (epsilon) C. perfringens fractions. Covexin 8 cattle and sheep vaccine is produced with a unique ultra-filtration technology which, during the manufacturing process, removes ‘impurities’ in the antigen to deliver a purer vaccine.
