PARATUBERCULOSIS

SILIRUM

Inactivated vaccine for cattle against bovine paratuberculosis cause by Mycobacterium avium spp. paratuberculosis

Vacuna Silirum
Silirum is the only paratuberculosis vaccine for cattle

Lifetime protection with just one dose

One dose of Silirum produces a lasting cell response and lifelong immunological memory.

Control bovine paratuberculosis at any stage of the animal’s life

Silirum can be used to vaccinate both young and adult animals. If the prevalence of the disease is high in the herd, it is best to vaccinate all the animals.

Increased productivity in vaccinated herds

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.

Vaccination is the most effective strategy to prevent paratuberculosis, financially speaking
Benefits of vaccinating with Silirum

01

Reduces bacterial load

Silirum vaccination reduces the MAP load.

02

Reduces bacterial load

Vaccination with Silirum significantly reduces the MAP load.

03

Decreases the prevalence and spread of paratuberculosis

By reducing MAP shedding in feces, it decreases environmental contamination and the spread of the disease.

04

Flexible vaccination

It can be used in animals at any stage of their life.

05

It can be used in animals at any stage of their life.

Vaccination of sheep and goats is the most effective strategy to prevent paratuberculosis, financially speaking.

06

Prevents intestinal lesions

By reducing the bacterial load in the intestines, it decreases the number and severity of lesions caused by bacteria.

07

Increases livestock longevity and survival

With the resulting decrease in replacement rate.

08

Improves milk and meat yield
Studies have shown generally positive effects of vaccination with Silirum in terms of yield, compared to animals with paratuberculosis.
Expert opinion on paratuberculosis vaccination

Dr. Ramon A. Juste, PhD in Veterinary Medicine and president of the International Association for Paratuberculosis, explains the benefits of paratuberculosis vaccination in animals.
