What is the protocol for use for Bovilis Nasalgen-C?
Nasal use. Vaccinate calves from the day of birth onwards.
Reconstitute lyophilisate with solvent as described below. Ensure that the lyophilisate is completely reconstituted before use. The reconstituted vaccine is a colourless or off-yellow suspension.
Administer a single dose of 2 ml reconstituted vaccine per animal into one nostril.
Instructions for reconstitution:
For proper reconstitution of the lyophilisate, transfer the solvent to the vial with the lyophilisate using a transfer needle or needle and syringe.
The 20-dose presentation requires a two-step reconstitution of the solvent to the vial with the lyophilisate and back to the solvent vial.
See the table below for the appropriate volumes. The vacuum in the vaccine vial will allow quick insertion of the solvent into the lyophilisate vial. Ensure complete resuspension by shaking the vial. The vaccine suspension can be drawn up in a syringe with a clean tip. Alternatively, the vial with reconstituted vaccine can be put in a multi-dose applicator. A spraying device is not required.
When vaccinating animals, it is recommended to change syringes or tips of a multi-dose applicator between animals to avoid transmission of pathogens.
