PROVIDEAN QUERATO

This vaccine belongs to the group

Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) generates a severe infection in the conjunctiva and cornea. This disease implies high treatment costs and causes a strong general weakening of the animal, estimated in 10 kg. live weight per affected eye.

IKC is triggered by Moraxella bovis bacteria and IBR virus.

All categories can be affected by IKC. Climatic conditions such as excessive heat, drought and strong wind weaken the mucosa and can facilitate the entry of pathogens.

Vaccinating with Providean Querato decreases the incidence of cases and reduces the severity of lesions.
