  2. What we are going to talk about • Sow Vaccine Protocols • Piglet Vaccine Protocols • Ways to prevent or minimize disease transmission

  3. Sow Vaccine Protocol • Gilts- Prebreeding • Magestic 7- PLE Vaccine- 2 doses PB • 1 and 4 weeks post-entry • Circumvent- PCV M vaccine- 2 doses • Weaning and 3 weeks Post-Weaning • PRRS vaccine – Consult your veterinarian • Rhinogen BPE- Rhinitis Vaccine • Week 13 of Gestation • Excell Platinum- Flu Vaccine • Flu vaccine timing is variable – Consult your veterinarian • Safeguard- Dewormer • De-worm Quarterly – Even in Confinement! • Tactic- Mange Control • Feedback – Consult your veterinarian

  4. Disease #1 • Farm purchased new gilts from an unknown source 3 weeks ago and placed with current herd • 50% of sows in all stages of gestation have aborted in the last 2 weeks • 90% of sows are off feed and lethargic • Water consumption has dropped 40% • Live Born on sows that have farrowed has decreased dramatically over the last week • Pigs born live are mostly small, low viability pigs

  5. Prefarrow Vaccines • Prosystem RCE- Rota, Clostridium, E-Coli • Use Sow Bac CE II for enteric and respiratory • PRRS Vaccines – Consult your veterinarian • Flu Vaccine – Consult your veterinarian • Feedback – Consult your veterinarian • Rhinitis Vaccine – Week 13 of Gestation • PLE Vaccine – Week 5 of Gestation

  6. Piglet VaccineProcessing • Clip Tails • Iron • Antibiotic - Penicillin, Excede, Draxxin • Differences in spectrum and length of activity as well as cost • Castrate

  7. Vaccines- Postweaning • Circumvent PCV M- 2 doses @ weaning and 3 weeks later • Ileitis and Erysipelas – Oral Vaccines • Flu Vaccine – Commercial or Autogenous • Other possibilities- HPS, Strep, PRRS, Salmonella • Safeguard- deworming

  8. Directions & Dosage • Warm vaccine to room temperature • Proper needle size • Baby pigs: 18 or 20 gauge, 5/8” or ½” • Nursery pigs: 16 or 18 gauge, 3/4” or 5/8” • Injection site: Neck • Route: Intramuscular (IM)

  9. Disease #2 Several growing pigs that appear healthy have been found dead Several live pigs have diamond shaped skin lesions similar to the ones seen below

  10. Minimize Disease Transfer • Isolation is always the best prevention- • May not be possible in the real world • Minimize nose to nose transfer- Real World PRRS train wreck • An ounce of prevention is worth a thousand dollars worth of cure….

  11. Treatment of Disease Growing pigs Pneumonia Draxxin Excede Excenel Penicillin Diarrhea Tylan Linco Lameness Excede Linco Strep Penicillin Excede • Sows/Boars • Pneumonia • Draxxin • Excede • Excenel • Penicillin • Diarrhea • Tylan • Linco • Lameness • Linco • Mastitis • Penicillin • Predef Always mark treated pigs and observe withdrawal times!
