SPONSOR: Zoetis / Pestigard 100ml plus applicator (2 of 2)*

Pestigard® is the first vaccine for the prevention of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus (BVDV), otherwise known as Bovine Pestivirus in cattle in Australia.

Pestigard is the only vaccine registered in Australia that prevents the highly contagious virus called pestivirus. This virus can damage herd reproduction rates and cause immunosuppression in recently infected cattle.

The Zoetis Advantage

• BVDV is a widespread disease throughout Australian cattle herds causing significant productivity loss by affecting the reproductive performance of the herd or increasing susceptibility to other common diseases.
• The introduction of a Pestigard vaccination program will reduce reproductive loss caused by BVDV. Pestigard® will also stimulate active immunity against BVDV which will assist in the reduction of losses associated with the Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) complex and other clinical diseases where BVDV is implicated.
• A Pestigard vaccination program can be conveniently integrated into existing management practices.

The Zoetis Advantage is unique. Only Pestigard:

• Is registered in Australia to prevent pestivirus. There are no other registered vaccines. 100% prevents shedding of pestivirus to safeguard your heifers and cows reproductive potential
• May be given such that the interval between the priming and booster dose can be extended up to 6 months for added convenience, longevity and to easily fit in with farm management practices. However the 2nd dose must be administered 2-4 weeks prior to joining.

The vaccine is to be stored at 2°C to 8°C (Refrigerate. Do Not Freeze) and comes with an applicator.
