Description

ScourGuard^® 4KC is for vaccination of healthy, pregnant cows and heifers as an aid in preventing diarrhoea in their calves caused by bovine rotavirus (serotypes G6 and G10), bovine coronavirus, enterotoxigenic strains of Escherichia coli having the K99 pili adherence factor, and Clostridium perfringens type C.

Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.

Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.

Transient temperature increase may occur following vaccination.

As with many vaccines, anaphylaxis may occur after use. Initial antidote of epinephrine is recommended and should be followed with appropriate supportive therapy.

This product has been shown to be efficacious in healthy animals. A protective immune response may not be elicited if animals are incubating an infectious disease, are malnourished or parasitized, are stressed due to shipment or environmental conditions, are otherwise immunocompromised, or the vaccine is not administered in accordance with label directions.

Although this vaccine has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspect, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.

Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures and/or direct sunlight may adversely affect potency.

Do not freeze. Use entire contents when first opened.

Sterilized syringes and needles should be used to administer this vaccine. Do not sterilise with chemicals because traces of disinfectant may inactivate the vaccine.

Burn containers and all unused contents.

Contains gentamicin and merthiolate as preservatives.

Use only as directed.
