ER Bac L5 Gold is for use in swine only.
ER Bac/L5 GOLD is for vaccination of healthy breeding swine as
an aid in preventing erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix
rhusiopathiae and leptospirosis caused by Leptospira
canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. hardjo, L. icterohaemorrhagiae and L. pomona.
Leptospira are
common agents of reproductive loss in swine. Infection by Leptospira during the second half of
pregnancy may cause abortions and stillbirths; late-term abortions are the most
important economic effect of leptospirosis. Leptospirosis caused by any of the
serovars represented here cannot be clinically differentiated. Abortions may
also occur in sows infected with E.
rhusiopathiae during pregnancy.
General Directions: Shake
well. Aseptically administer 2 mL intramuscularly.
Primary Vaccination: Healthy
swine should receive 2 doses 3-5 weeks apart with the second dose administered
2-4 weeks prior to breeding. Healthy gilts, however, should receive the second
dose as near as possible to 14 days prior to breeding.
Revaccination: Revaccination with a single dose is recommended prior to subsequent breedings. Boars should be revaccinated semiannually.
