Dry live vaccine against classical swine fever "KS"

"KS", a live lyophilized vaccine against classical swine fever, is prepared from an attenuated strain of CSF virus. The vaccine is a dry porous substance, white or creamy white in colour, that dissolves easily upon addition of physiological solution. The vaccine is safe and highly immunogenic. The vaccine is available in either standard or concentrated form.

The unconcentrated vaccine is used for prophylactic vaccination of Swine in all categories of CSF-free farm units, as well as of Swine in small farm units upon onset of CSF, when vaccination is unavoidable. The concentrated vaccine is used for immunization of Swine in CSF-affected commercial farm units.

The vaccine is administered via intramuscular route in the lower third of the neck or inner thigh at the dose of 2 cm³. In CSF-free farm units, the unconcentrated vaccine is administered to: Sow: 2 to 3 weeks before insemination once per year, boars: once per year, piglets: at the age of 40 to 45 days, vaccination is repeated at the age of 85 to 100 days and once per year from then on; Upon onset of CSF in non-commercial farm units, all clinically healthy animals should be vaccinated simultaneously with unconcentrated "KS" vaccine. Piglets vaccinated at an age below 2 months should be revaccinated at the age of 90 to 95 days. Upon onset of CSF in commercial farm units, all clinically healthy animals should be vaccinated with concentrated "KS" vaccine, irrespective of previous vaccination against CSF and other diseases. From then on, piglets should be vaccinated at the age of 40 to 45 days and revaccinated at the age of 90 to 95 days. Sow should be vaccinated 15-20 days every time before insemination and 25 to 30 days before farrowing. Other Swine should be vaccinated once per year.

For Swine vaccinated at the age of 2 months or later, immunity lasts more than 1 year.

The vaccine is available in vials containing 100 doses per cm³ (unconcentrated form) or 5-50 doses per cm³ (concentrated form).

12 months if kept in a dark dry place at a temperature between 2 and 8°С.
