GUDAIR
Vaccine to immunize sheep and goats against the paratuberculosis subspecies of Mycobacterium avium.
One dose produces lasting cell response and immunological memory, which helps simplify vaccination programs.
Gudair can be used to vaccinate both young and adult animals. In animals that may already be infected, vaccination helps delay onset of clinical signs and decrease bacteria in feces.
The benefits of vaccination in cattle not only include lower mortality rates and degrees of infection, it also prevents future decreased yield compared to infected livestock.
01
it can delay the onset of clinical signs by up to 12 months.
02
Gudair vaccination reduces the bacterial load by more than 90%.
03
By reducing MAP shedding in feces, it decreases environmental contamination and the spread of the disease.
04
It can be used in animals at any stage of their life.
05
Vaccination of sheep and goats is the most effective strategy to prevent paratuberculosis, financially speaking.
06
By reducing the bacterial load in the intestines, it decreases the number and severity of lesions caused by bacteria.
07
With the resulting decrease in replacement rate.
08
Studies have shown generally positive effects of vaccination with Gudair in terms of yield, compared to animals with paratuberculosis.
09
Gudair contains antigens from the paratuberculosis subspecies of Mycobacterium avium strain 316F and a latest generation oily adjuvant that boosts immune response.
10
On average, vaccinated ewes have twice as many lambs as sick ones.
Dr. Ramon A. Juste, PhD in Veterinary Medicine and president of the International Association for Paratuberculosis, explains the benefits of paratuberculosis vaccination in animals.
