Clostridium Septicum Vaccine

Tecnovax Providean Clostridial 10P vaccine is specifically designed to protect cattle, sheep and goats against diseases caused by several Clostridium species, including Clostridium septicum.

INDICATIONS

Malignant Edema: Protection against the specific disease caused by Clostridium septicum.
Wound Infections: Prevents severe, rapidly progressing tissue infections (gas gangrene) that arise from skin wounds, castration sites, or calving injuries.
Systemic Protection: Often part of multi-valent vaccines (like 7-way or 8-way) providing immunity against other clostridial threats, including Blackleg (C. chauvoei), Black Disease (C. novyi), and Enterotoxemia (C. perfringens types C & D).
At-Risk Animals: For livestock in areas with known clostridial problems or where wounds are common (e.g., during branding, castration, weaning).
Preventative Care: A key component of herd health management, particularly in cattle and sheep operations, to prevent sudden outbreaks.

ADMINISTRATION

Route: Subcutaneous (under the skin) is preferred over intramuscular (IM) to minimize muscle damage and financial loss in valuable meat animals, as clostridial vaccines can cause large swellings.
Site: The preferred injection site is the caudolateral (back and side) neck region, avoiding the hindquarters or loin where meat quality is highest.
Technique: A clean needle should be used for withdrawal and a fresh one for injection, avoiding excessively long needles (over 1/2 inch) and ensuring proper restraint.
Cattle: Calves often start at 3-4 months, with a booster 2-4 weeks later, and annual revaccination.
Sheep & Goats: Similar schedules with initial doses (e.g., from 2 months old) and annual boosters.
