Description
Aftovaxpur DOE is a vaccine used to vaccinate cattle, sheep and pigs from two weeks of age against foot-and-mouth disease. Foot-and-mouth disease affects cloven-hoofed animals and causes fever, followed by blisters on the inside of the mouth and on the feet which may rupture and lead to lameness. Aftovaxpur DOE contains up to three strains of inactivated (killed) foot-and-mouth disease virus. These strains belong to four different serotypes (groups) of the virus known as O, A, Asia 1 and SAT2, and are selected, depending on the epidemiological need, from the following eight strains: O1 Manisa, O1 BFS, O Taiwan 3/97, A22 Iraq, A24 Cruzeiro, A Turkey 14/98, Asia 1 Shamir and SAT2 Saudi Arabia.
How is Aftovaxpur used?
Aftovaxpur DOE is available as a liquid emulsion for injection and can only be obtained with a prescription. The vaccine is given to cattle and sheep as an injection under the skin whilst for pigs the injection is given into a muscle. Revaccination is required every six months. When animals are vaccinated at 2 weeks of age, revaccination is recommended at 8 to 10 weeks.
