The Rural Voice, 1985-11, Page 66RUST./ CHECKJ WHAT'S NEW? First live pasteurella vaccine Vetrepharm Inc. has introduced PRECON-PH, the first live Pasteurella Haemolytica vaccine with demonstrated effectiveness for the control of pasteurella pneumonia in beef and dairy cattle. Optimum protection against shipp- ing fever pneumonia in beef calves is provided when the animals are vac- cinated 7 to 10 days prior to shipping. Clinical studies have shown that the incidence of this costly disease is reduced from 50 to 60 per cent in the controls to 0 to 5 per cent in the vac- cinated group. In a vealing operation, the vaccina- tion of 14 -day-old Holstein calves reduced the incidence of respiratory disease (42.5 per cent in the vac- cinates vs. 76.6 per cent in the con- trols) and showed a marked reduction in relapses (8.2 per cent in vaccinates vs. 46.8 per cent in the controls). The intradermal route of ad- ministration increases the vaccine's effectiveness by prolonging the presence of the live organism at the injection site. This enables the animals' immune system to respond to both the cytotoxin and the surface antigens of the organism, thus over- coming a serious deficiency in previous inactivated pasteurella pro- ducts. PRECON-PH is also recommend- ed for use in dairy calves being moved from outside hutches into calf barns and dairy cattle destined for export. PRECON-PH is available through your veterinarian in boxes of five 5 -dose vials and boxes of ten 20 -dose vials with corresponding dilutent.

"Triple p" early weaning parlour De Cloet's "triple p" early wean- ing parlour was installed at Walt and Brenda Jackson's 200 -sow operation in St. Thomas recently. The Jacksons' 150 3 -tier nursery has put through more than 450 pigs with no mortality in the two months since installation. Pigs have gained weight faster with no setback. The system has variable cross flow ventilation and a preheat room, which render the seamless, controlled environment virtually draft -free. The reduced stress on piglets is making 17 -day weaning practicable in addi- tion to reducing mortality to less than one per cent.
