PROVIDEAN CARBUNCLO BACTERIDIANO

This vaccine belongs to the group

Anthrax is a deadly disease that causes huge losses in animal production and is a threat to farm personnel. Sporulated bacteria have the ability to remain viable for years in the environment, and spread the disease.

The disease can be prevented by vaccination. Providean Carbunclo is a live vaccine made with attenuated antigens of Sterne strain 34F2 of Bacillus anthracis.

Its production strain is controlled by molecular biology techniques to ensure the presence of the plasmids responsible for conferring immunity.

Providean Carbunclo prevents anthrax. The vaccine, when inoculated, produces a subclinical infection in the host without causing any symptoms of the disease. This generates an active increase in the level of neutralizing antibodies. It is recommended to vaccinate all calves before weaning and adult animals during spring since most cases occur in summer.
