DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Sheep: From 2 weeks of age: Dose - 1 ml
Cattle: From 2 weeks of age: Dose - 2 ml

By subcutaneous injection at a suitable site. The recommended site is the loose skin on the side of the neck. Shake the bottle well before use. Syringes and needles should be sterile before use and the injection should be made through an area of clean, dry skin taking precautions against contamination.

Primary Vaccination
Two doses should be administered, 4-6 weeks apart.

Booster vaccination
A single dose should be administered at 6 to 12 month intervals.

Use in pregnancy
To provide passive protection of the offspring, via the colostrum, a single booster dose should be administered between 8 and 2 weeks before parturition, provided that animals have received a full primary vaccination course before pregnancy.

Contra-indications, warnings, etc
75 - 100% of animals vaccinated with Bravoxin 10 may experience reactions to vaccination.
Most commonly reported reactions are localised swelling or induration at the injection site but may also include mild hyperthermia, abscess or other reaction in the underlying tissues at the injection site.
Swelling at the injection site occurs in the majority of animals. This may reach up to a mean value of 6 cm in sheep and 15 cm diameter in cattle; occasionally reactions of up to 25 cm diameter may be seen in cattle. Most local reactions resolve within 3-6 weeks in sheep and in less than 10 weeks in cattle, but may persist longer in a minority of animals.
An abscess may develop in some animals. Vaccination may give rise to reactions in the underlying tissues at the injection site.
Skin discolouration at the injection site (which returns to normal as the local reaction resolves) may occur.
Localised pain at the injection site for 1-2 days post first vaccination may occur.
The local reactions do not affect the general health, demeanour, feeding or weight gain of the animals.
If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this leaflet, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
In calves and lambs, local reactions may increase slightly if twice the recommended dose is administered.

Shelf-life after first opening the container
Part used containers of the vaccine should be discarded within 8 hours of first opening. ‹ Read Less
