 PneumoSTAR® Myco
Swine Vaccine
PneumoSTAR® Myco is a killed vaccine offering
one-shot, one-mL protection against mycoplasmal pneumonia in an easily
syringeable formulation.
The product contains
the proprietary ImmunSTAR™ adjuvant technology
that makes the product efficacious at a low dose level. This technology
also is the basis of another new one-shot, one-mL swine vaccine
introduced by Novartis recently – PneumoSTAR® SIV.
Research conducted to receive USDA approval showed the mycoplasmal
pneumonia vaccine to be effective for 23 weeks following administration.
In a controlled study, animals challenged 23 weeks after a single
1-mL vaccination of PneumoSTAR Myco had a 50 percent reduction
in lung lesions at slaughter compared to nonvaccinated controls.
Pigs can be vaccinated with PneumoSTAR Myco anytime after three
weeks of age. In situations of extreme stress or disease exposure
a second dose is recommended. It’s available in 100- and
250-dose bottles from veterinarians or animal health suppliers.
