FOR
VETERINARY USE ONLY
 
|
INDICATIONS: For use on
healthy sheep and goats as an aid in the control of "Sore
Mouth" disease. Contains penicillin and streptomycin as
preservatives.
DIRECTIONS: Store at 2° to 7°
C. Use entire contents when first rehydrated. Do not vaccinate
within 21 days before slaughter or within 24 hours of dipping or
spraying.
It is advisable to vaccinate each
new lamb and kid crop. Since exposure to infection can occur
during shipping, range lambs moving into feedlots should be
vaccinated at least 14 days before shipment to prevent possible
rapid spread of the disease after arrival.
Normally only healthy animals
should be vaccinated, but experience has shown that vaccination of
infected sheep and lambs tends to shorten the course of disease
during an outbreak of "Sore Mouth."
Do not use disinfectants to
sterilize equipment.
PRECAUTIONS: In the event of
accidental human exposure, consult a physician. Burn, autoclave or
chemically disinfect container and all unused contents.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Select a wool free area of skin, such as the inside of the flank
and scarify the outer layer by scratching with the notched handle
of the enclosed applicator. Scratching need not be deep enough to
cause bleeding but should be sufficient to adequately roughen the
skin. An area of at least one square inch should be scarified.
Rehydrate the vaccine (with accompanying diluent) immediately
before use and apply with enclosed brush or by placing a drop on
the scarified area and brush vigorously.
Reddening and slight swelling at
the site of administration should be observed a few days after
vaccination. This will develop into raised areas that will rupture
and scab over representing a "take" that indicates
successful vaccination. Scabs will dry and fall off in about 2 to
4 weeks.
