Porcilis PRRS + Porcilis M Hyo

Two important respiratory vaccines can now be mixed

Porcilis PRRS and Porcilis M Hyo can now be safely mixed together with no loss of efficacy, for more convenient dosing. By reducing the number of injections, there is less stress on the animal. It saves time and labor while providing protection against two of the top three respiratory pathogens. The efficacy and safety of this simultaneous administration are supported by the results from vaccine challenge studies and officially approved within the EU.

Porcilis PRRS and Porcilis M Hyo can be mixed and administered to finishing pigs from 4 weeks of age. The mixture is for the control of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and protection against M. hyopneumoniae infections in finishing pigs.

Porcilis PRRS

A live vaccine for the immunization of pigs against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome.

The vaccine contains lyophilisated PRRS virus strain DV. For more information see Porcilis PRRS.

Porcilis M Hyo

An inactivated bacterial vaccine for the immunization of finishing pigs to reduce pulmonary lesions caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection. Contains whole cell concentrate of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strain 11 suspended in Diluvac Forte®. For more information see Porcilis M Hyo.

Dosage and directions for use

When the Porcilis PRRS and Porcilis M Hyo are used simultaneously, one is used to reconstitute the other shortly before vaccination and the following instructions should be used:

A single dose (2 ml) of Porcilis PRRS mixed with Porcilis M Hyo is given intramuscularly in the neck.

Step-by-step instructions for mixing the vaccines

1. Use a syringe and needle to remove a few mls of vaccine from the Porcilis M Hyo vial.
2. Inject these few mls into the vial containing the freeze-dried Porcilis PRRS.
3. Invert the Porcilis PRRS vial several times to mix the two products.
4. Remove all the mixture from the Porcilis PRRS vial.
5. Inject the mixture back into the Porcilis M Hyo vial and invert the vial several times.
6. Attach the vial to the injector to begin vaccination.

The mixed product will be in Porcilis M Hyo vial as a ready-to-use product, but a 2 ml intramuscular dose will vaccinate each pig against both PRRSV and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae at the same time.

As simple as using Porcilis PRRS with its regular Diluvac Forte adjuvant.
